ReSound Key 361: Premium Sound and Modern Connectivity for Everyday Life

Finding a hearing aid that balances advanced technology with affordability can be a challenge. The ReSound Key 361 is specifically engineered to bridge that gap, offering a “Key” to a world of clearer sound without the complexity or high cost of flagship-tier devices. As a Receiver-in-Ear (RIE) hearing aid, the Key 361 is designed for individuals with mild-to-profound hearing loss who refuse to compromise on connectivity and reliability.

Built on Proven Technology

The ReSound Key 361 is built upon the Organic Hearing philosophy, a design approach that aims to emulate the natural way the ear collects and processes sound. Unlike older digital hearing aids that can sound “tinny” or artificial, the Key 361 utilizes the C5 Processing Chip. This technology provides excellent sound quality and clarity, allowing you to focus on conversations in various environments—from a quiet living room to a moderately busy café.

One of the standout features of the 361 model is its DFS Ultra II (Digital Feedback Suppression). This system identifies and eliminates whistling or “feedback” before it even starts, which is a common frustration for hearing aid wearers when hugging a loved one or putting on a hat.

Seamless Connectivity and Streaming

In the modern world, a hearing aid is more than just an amplifier; it is a communication hub. The ReSound Key 361 excels in this category. Unlike the entry-level models in the Key series, the 361 model features direct streaming.

• iOS & Android Compatibility: You can stream music, phone calls, and GPS directions directly from your smartphone to your hearing aids.

• MFi (Made for iPhone): It offers a seamless connection to Apple devices.

• Asha Support: It also supports Android’s Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA) protocol, ensuring that Android users aren’t left behind.

This direct-to-ear streaming significantly improves speech intelligibility on phone calls, as the audio is delivered clearly into both ears, bypassing background noise.

Personalization via the ReSound Smart 3D App

Control is at your fingertips with the ReSound Smart 3D App. The Key 361 allows users to take charge of their hearing experience through their smartphone. Instead of fiddling with small buttons on the device, you can:

• Adjust volume and mute settings.

• Change environmental programs (e.g., “All-Around,” “Restaurant,” or “Music”).

• Fine-tune treble and bass to suit your specific preferences.

• Use the “Find My Hearing Aid” feature to locate your devices if they are misplaced.

Ergonomic Design and Durability

The ReSound Key 361 is designed to be discreet and comfortable for all-day wear. The RIE (Receiver-in-Ear) style sits snugly behind the ear, with a thin, nearly invisible wire leading into the ear canal. This design provides a more “open” and natural feeling compared to traditional custom-molded plugs.

Durability is also a core focus. The devices are iPower-protected with an IP68 rating, the highest level of protection against dust and water. This means the Key 361 can withstand moisture from sweat or a sudden rain shower, providing peace of mind for active users.

Who is the ReSound Key 361 For?

The ReSound Key 361 is the ideal “essential-plus” solution. It is perfect for the user who wants:

1. Reliability: A device that works consistently every day.

2. Streaming Capability: The ability to take calls and listen to media wirelessly.

3. Ease of Use: Simple controls and automatic sound adjustments.

By focusing on the essential needs of hearing—clarity, comfort, and connection—the ReSound Key 361 ensures that you don’t just hear the world around you, but you truly participate in it
