“Wow, ReSound, that’s some totally durable hear
ing aids you’ve got there!” remarks Spencer Tietjen, Audiologist at Cache Valley ENT in North Logan, UT in a letter to his sales representative. Tietjen goes on to share a story involving one of his patients who had lost his hearing aid the year prior while working in his yard. Although he searched and searched, the hearing aid was never found so the patient had it replaced. End of story? Nope, not even close.
In late July of this year, this patient returned to Cache Valley ENT and excitedly reported that he had finally found the missing hearing aid. The hearing aid had been put through the wringer –wind, dirt and rain and even four feet of snow – however Tietjen suggested they put in a new battery and snap on a new receiver…just for experimental sake. Without even cleaning it, the hearing aid still worked!
Both Tietjen and his patient were amazed. “Not just any hearing aids could survive that kind of treatment,” commented Tietjen.
ReSound hearing aids are coated with iSolate™ nanotech – an innovative nanotechnology that protects the devices inside and out with a water and dust repellent coating. This technology is what makes ReSound hearing aids so “dang durable” as Tietjen later wrote in his letter.
Another hearing aid saved, thanks to iSolate nanotech!

Hearing aids
The simple response to this is, NO IT DOESN’T. I have worn Resound BTE for seven years approx. One drop of rain or speck of dust renders it useless. The microphone is cut off and you have to find some way of drying it out or cleaning out the dust for it to work. I have been wearing hearing aids for fifty years and not once have I had these particular problems. I use to play squash and football whilst wearing analogue BTE’s and never had an issue with them. I am disappointed that the manufacturer, Resound, have not recognized this issue and recommended some kind of fix. I also find it surprising that I have not found any reference to these issues on any blogs. The above article is from 2016 it is now 2025 and the amazing nanotechnology has not worked on any of the the Resound hearing aids I have used. If I am to look at the Enzo Q will I need to carry a hairdryer would with me?
