I don’t think we know enough about how these work yet. My best guess is there will be an on line or imbedded hearing test as part of the set up. These are marketed as the new hearing aids that are over the counter, not as PSAP devices. Time will tell how they work. I think similar to direct to consumer aids now available.
Yes and that’s a big difference, I’m thinking also that’s there more to these then we know at the moment, settings for an audiogram and being able to connect them to Aventa or SmartFit software would be fantastic, as just using the app without anything else just doesn’t make sense.

Ie ordered these as I’m very intrigued. Will return if no good.
I have a noalink wireless and I’ve downloaded the resound software. I’ll report back here once I see if they’re unlocked or not.

As a side note these have been on sale for at least a year as I’ve been going back and forth between their site reading up on these every few months and when my others recently broke (my own fault) I thought I’d check these out.
The p90s these are replacing were obviously better hearing aids, but the only reason I got them in the first place was because I saw them at a bargain price and wanted to learn about potentially programming my own aids in future and because my loss is so slight I’m not too concerned with settling down with a certain device right now, I’m quite happy exploring the options for a while and seeing what’s available via other routes.
They should arrive tomorrow so I can update with any details if anyone is interested
Definitely interested in this. I look forward to your update.

I think this is their way of testing the waters in the OTC business.
They are throwing one of their existing products with predefined generic settings into the OTC market.
Reduced settings, access to programmability locked.
The development costs have already been incurred, the product is in mass production. Actual manufacturing costs are very, very low.
I’m also very curious to hear what you find out when you receive the devices.
Keep us posted, please

Not sure your source of info. I am a satisfied quatros user, almost 4 years.
myself, I have nothing but problems with microphone becoming quiet on these hearing aid…
@tenkan as promised, an update. @rothlev1 I thought you may appreciate this too.
These arrived today instead of Friday - they are in fact Resound Quattro 9’s. What suprised me from the packaging was that it wasn’t rebranded apart from the cover sleeve.
They’re alot smaller than I thought they’d be too.
Anyway after the initial setup (which I tried with both their ‘BeMore’ app and their Resound 3d app - they worked on both.
Then even more good news, after installing resound smartfit I can confirm that these are NOT locked and can be reset to your own audiogram.
Attached is a photo of the basic setup I found upon connecting the devices, along with some others.
I’ve made no changes at all as I have zero experience with smartfit yet and I’m intrigued to get a feel for their out of the box settings first - which as mentioned before are advertised as a ‘one size fits all’ solution for speech clarity.

Yes that’s fantastic news, honestly you can’t go wrong at that price and with the warranty (3 years?)
Could you check in the future, if they have tinnitus controller available and if there’s anything at all “greyed out” so as not to able to be used.
Maybe top of the line for Quattro’s, but not near the top aid Resound makes.
Here you go.
I’m assuming any form of reprogramming will void the warranty? (2 years)
I’ve made a profile on smartfit with the original settings and wondering if I do reprogram them, and if for any reason I needed to send them in for warranty (battery faults etc) is it as simple as me reinstating the original setup, or would there be some kind of indicator to flag it up do you think?
yes, you are right, resound ones and something else is out, still a very good aid, not a low level 5 . and most definitely not a PSAP device. nothing wrong with that level of technology.
No that won’t have any bearing on warranty.
Yes no problem with that, you can make up an extra client for you to experiment with and go back to your original settings anytime, the only thing that changes is the time stamp, but no worries there, I wouldn’t worry about that.

Thankyou I appreciate the answer
Going to start learning the Smartfit program so I can be confident when making adjustments.
Actually thinking about it, have a look to see if there’s a firmware update for streaming from android devices, I think there was one for the Quattro but I never did it, would be interesting to see if it’s available.
Think they can stream from Android?
This was in the link that the OP linked at the top.
Android
On Android, JOIN® products are paired through Bluetooth settings. Once paired and connected, you can:
- Adjust the volume of your JOIN® products (even change right and left individually).
- Stream all audio, including phone calls, music, and video directly from your smartphone to your JOIN® products.
For an overview which Android devices are compatible see the compatibility overview here.
