March 5, 2008 -- ReSound is pleased to announce the introduction of ReSound SparxTM - our new super-power behind-the-ear hearing instrument.
Maximum Power
Super-power users demand power - and lots of it. With a peak gain of 81 dB and a maximum output 141 dB SPL, ReSound Sparx has the power to meet the needs of super-power users.
Maximum Useable Gain
Because power without effective feedback management is of no value to patients, ReSound Sparx incorporates our legendary Digital Feedback Suppression (DFS). In doing so, ReSound Sparx delivers up to 20 dB of additional headroom and provides the most usable gain of any hearing instrument in this power category. Increased useable gain ensures greater audibility for both speech and environmental sounds.
Fusing Power with Sound Quality
ReSound Sparx provides the perfect fusion of power and sound quality. Sparx utilizes 9-band WarpTM sound processing to provide superior sound quality with low distortion and excellent frequency resolution. Additionally, it provides NoiseTrackerTMII, a choice of WDRC or Linear amplification and Multi-Channel MPO.
WDRC and Linear Amplification in One Device
Sparx offers a choice of WDRC or Linear amplification in a single instrument. As a result, ReSound Sparx has the flexibility to provide a familiar sound quality to experienced super-power users regardless of the amplification strategy they might have previously used.
Multi-Channel MPO
In order to provide super-power without discomfort, ReSound Sparx is equipped with a 6-channel MPO. This ensures that the output of the hearing instrument is not needlessly restricted when a patient's dynamic range varies across frequencies.
ReSound Sparx not only meets the power demands of super-power users, but also leverages the core technologies of ReSound to deliver Sound by ReSoundTM in this super-power hearing instrument.
