The ReSound Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC in review
Diese Technik ist bereits etwas veraltet und wurde durch neuere Techniken abgelöst. Wir nehmen daher eine Abwertung in der Gesamtnote vor.
ReSound offers the Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC, a small hearing aid that is worn behind the ear. It is a hearing aid from a price range slightly above the average and is suitable for mild, moderate, and also severe hearing losses. By placing the speaker directly in the ear canal, it ensures that sound reaches the eardrum without losses.
Hearing comfort
What is most bothersome to hearing aid users? Exactly, background noise. That's why we first look at which comfort features the test device offers. The manufacturer provides comprehensive noise management with the Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC. A normal noise suppression is definitely present. It is meant to dampen constant noises like traffic or the hum of an air conditioner. Our test device from ReSound has one of the most intensive noise suppressions on the market. When set to maximum, you have a real advantage over normal hearing individuals.
The suppression of short, loud sound events convinced us here; it is quite powerful. Some hearing aids reach their limits when the wind sweeps over the microphones outside. That can get pretty loud. But ReSound has something to counter this, namely a highly dampening, adjustable wind noise suppression. It works very well and helps all those who enjoy being outside. The Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC is one of the good hearing aids, at least in terms of the number of frequency bands. With 17 bands, it is well equipped for precise adjustment to personal sound preferences. Spatial hearing is very important for orientation in space and the recognition of directions and distances. With this hearing aid from ReSound, one can feel completely secure. It mimics the functioning of natural hearing and makes information accessible from all directions.
The signal processing is based, among other things, on typical frequency patterns of speech and noise, but artificial intelligence is not yet used here.

Operation & connectivity
“Can I make any adjustments to my hearing aid myself?” “Is there possibly an app?” These and similar questions are becoming increasingly important when choosing a hearing aid, which is why we’ll take a look at the control and connectivity options. There is usually a button on the hearing aid, and we found one on the Quattro NEO 9 as well. It can be configured as a volume control or program selection button and can also be deactivated if desired. Those who don’t like to touch their ear to raise the volume will appreciate the optional remote control. This allows for making changes to the hearing aid comfortably and discreetly.
We are always excited when a hearing aid surprises us with a great additional feature. For example, we would have liked to see voice control at this point. However, it is currently not available in the Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC. Tap control would have also been an interesting feature. With this, one can change the function with a quick tap on the ear. But this is not yet available in the Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC.
An app is the perfect companion for hearing aids. The app for the Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC is absolutely impressive. It is a sensible addition, as it can significantly ease life in critical hearing situations with its various adjustment options. We really enjoyed the direct, wireless streaming. This means that calls from the smartphone can be transferred to the hearing aids without any additional accessories. This turns the hearing aid into the perfect hands-free system or wireless headphones. Listening to music or watching and hearing videos is incredibly comfortable as well.

Simplicity & security
We are also interested in how quickly one can get used to the Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC and how easy daily usage is. The Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC features an extensive set of stored hearing situations. When a typical pattern is recognized, the hearing aid automatically activates the correct setting, fully automatically. The adjustment to the new hearing experience is supported by a fully automatic acclimatization manager. It adjusts the amplification in barely noticeable steps until my hearing loss is completely compensated. I just need to do one thing: wear my hearing aids regularly.
Easy handling in everyday life definitely includes the power supply. The Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC has a built-in rechargeable battery, which can be charged repeatedly. Since one charge lasts all day, we do not have to worry about the battery dying in the middle of a conversation.
With IP 68 certification, the hearing aid can withstand various adverse influences. Dust cannot penetrate, it can withstand prolonged submersion in water, and it is also protected against contact.

Extras
Sometimes hearing aids come with additional features that can be quite useful. Let's see how it is with this ReSound device: We noticed the tinnitus option. If desired, one can have a special tinnitus program set up. This applies a gentle sound in the ears to distract from the annoying tinnitus. The sounds can be tailored to personal hearing preferences.
ReSound keeps up with the times and offers a forward-looking feature with the Remote Adjustment Service. Busy individuals with little time can contact their audiologist online and have their hearing aids reprogrammed. Hearing aid users who have a longer commute to the specialist store also benefit from this special service.
Some hearing aids can track certain health data. However, this requires special sensors in the hearing aid, which we unfortunately do not have in the Quattro NEO 9 61-DRWC. Other hearing aids already offer a few advanced options like a fall alert or reminder functions. We do not find this here, and that is not too dramatic, as the normal hearing functions are still the most important.
