ReSound One Hearing Aids Now Offer Hands-Free iPhone Streaming

My Resound Ones show version 4.27.1.0 and say they are up to date.
Why are there so many different versions?
Are we all up to date?
Different versions for different countries?

Be interesting to know.

I have found in the past that the Smart 3D phone app can say that firmware is up-to-date yet if one looks for an update with the latest version of Smart Fit find yet a higher version number firmware update. I wish ReSound would be more specific about what an update entails and whether it’s major, minor, must-have or not.

I phoned ReSound in Minnesota and was given an answer… the newest update for US the market is 4.19.1.1 and that in European countries they do have different updates… also still no news on when the NEW hands free update will be released

I wish they put out a description of what the updates were…

I imagine with the official press release and that Apple supports this technology even without going into 5.2/5.3 technology that it will happen. Just my thoughts. I’m guessing there have been delays in implementation based on unexpected factors. I’m just glad customer service was aware this was still to be released!

Seems like someone else confirmed ReSound’s handsfree is already in effect? Hands-free MFI for Oticon More.. any updates? - #3 by MrAerodynamic

I’m still waiting. I’m in the United States. I have software version 9.10.10 according to the Resound Smart 3D app’s “Hearing aid software updates” page. There is no update for me as of yet.

I was told in an email from Resound that it would take a few months after the expected December 2021 release to roll out.

My old HA’s are Resound Linx2 and I used the Resound Smart app. My new one are Resound One and I’m using the Resound Smart 3D app

So the firmware version thing is odd - I have the jabra (same as the one) and initially had 4.X and the app said up to date. However the smart fit software (pc app the Adjuster uses) said there was an update to 9.x which she did. I don’t notice a difference though. My ios app does state the current version is up to date as well…

My audiologist asked a Resound rep, and they said if it’s been recently updated (I assume so because my One is new), then there’ll be a firmware update through the app on/around February 24th.

Resound is very bad about announcing features waaaay before they are available.

It’s not just Resound. I think it’s near universal and not just with hearing aids.

Wait. Why would the hearing care professional need to do this when we can download Resound software updates on our phone?

Do you download the update directly or is it through a hearing care provider?
