No amplification, white noise. After drying over night.

Put them in, fine for 10 mins to 30 mins.

Then white noise gets louder, the aids don’t pick up quiet sounds.

It’s a hardware fault. Under warranty, but the company doesn’t exist anymore.

Are you ? But you can ask any clinic to send them in for evaluation, see if there’s anything wrong with them, is this both or just one! have you checked the basics, receivers, , clean mic ports.

I think Handy Andy read that GN was selling the ReSound business to Amplifon (apparently to be completed by year’s end) and mistook that for the end of the business. I have read that the former CEO of GN was said to be unhappy with the sale to Amplifon and wanted instead a merger with one other of the Big Five.

GN’s parent company, GN Store Nord, agreed to sell its hearing aid business (including ReSound and Beltone) to the global retailer Amplifon to create a vertically integrated powerhouse. The $2.6 billion deal allows GN to cash in, gain a roughly 16% ownership stake in the newly combined giant, and pivot its focus to its enterprise and consumer audio/video peripherals businesses.

The strategic drivers behind the sale include:

  • Vertical Integration: The merger unites GN’s R&D and manufacturing capabilities with Amplifon’s massive global retail footprint. This allows the companies to reduce costs through volume insourcing and streamlined supply chains.

  • Financial Value: Valued at approximately DKK 17.0 billion (~$2.6 billion), the transaction provides GN with ~$1.8 billion in cash and 56 million Amplifon shares, making GN a significant long-term partner in the newly expanded audiology group.

  • Corporate Focus: By divesting the hearing division, GN Store Nord can double down on its fast-growing enterprise communications and audio/video markets (such as Jabra).

An global retailer like Amplifon has no experience as hearing aid manufacturer and Resound Nord isn’t going to focus on new Resound aids. I’m not going to buy new Resound Enzo IA aids and will stick with Phonak.

Could be unresolved salt/wax in the earhook filter.

The moisture from the canal is causing the filter to clog.

Your warranty will be honoured. Resound aren’t going out of business. They’re just attempting to sell their manufacturing business to a hearing aid services provider. It is business as usual for all clinics supplying Resound and Beltone devices.

It sounds as though the amplifier in your devices is faulty and needs replacing. I’d let your audiologist know and see if you can get some loaner devices while they’re being repaired.

The deal has been announced but the acquisition has not been closed. Until then, per Resound , it is business as usual.

Amplifon, the largest hearing aid retailer, makes sense to buy a manufacturer. This doesn’t guarantee success, but consider Google’s acquisition of HTC (which was struggling ) and the subsequent transformation of their phones into the Pixel series. ( Google is a software company focused of ads and software). Another example is Fitbit
