Metrix

Why is Metrix a better choice than competitive hearing instruments?

While Metrix offers specific advantages over individual hearing instruments, in general Metrix performs better than competitive products in:

Feedback suppression
ReSound invented out of phase feedback cancellation. This cutting edge approach that many other manufacturers have yet to develop ensures the whistling of your hearing instrument will be kept to a minimum.

Audibility
You buy a hearing instrument so that you can hear better. Many competitive aids actually reduce the gain they give you to prevent side effects such as feedback. This means you do not hear as well. Generally you pay more for a hearing instrument because it offers better audibility. If a hearing instrument reduces gain in any way you are not getting what you paid for.

Open comfort
ReSound invented Open fittings. This fitting approach eliminated many of the most common complaints surrounding the comfort of a hearing instrument. To accomplish these benefits ReSound had to invent the fastest hearing instrument processor available. ReSound's Warp processor is still unrivaled in the industry.

What do I give up by purchasing Metrix instead of Azure?

Metrix represents the best of the previous generation of directional technologies. However, you will experience a reduced awareness of your entire surroundings with Metrix versus Azure.

Metrix also does not offer your hearing healthcare professional as refined of fitting capabilities as Azure. You will notice this as you transition between different listening environments. The performance and personalized comfort enabled by Azure will create the most comfortable listening available

What do I get in Metrix that I do not get if I choose Pixel?

Metrix offers better speech understanding in noisy environments than Pixel. Metrix offers a more refined directional system which offers a level of precision not available in Pixel. Hearing in noise is the number one complaint of hearing instrument wearers. Do not underestimate the impact of a hearing instrument's directional system in your daily life.
