A unique feature found in both OMNIA and ReSound One RIE models is the Microphone & Receiver-in-Ear (M&RIE) receiver ( optional ). And by choosing an M&RIE receiver this combines the two traditional hearing aid microphones with an extra third microphone that sits in the ear to collect sounds. M&RIE is consistent with ReSound’s “Organic Hearing” philosophy for providing natural sound by placing an additional microphone at the entry-point of the ear canal.

M&RIE was introduced to overcome some of the limitations of microphone placement on RIC and Behind-The-Ear (BTE) hearing aids. With the natural ear, sound is collected by the outer ear (pinna and canal), and naturally boosted slightly. For the average adult with a healthy ear, this means a boost of loudness in the high pitches (2000-4000 Hz range). The outer ear also provides some additional benefit with localizing sound

Normaly two microphones on the hearing aids are located in the hearing aids housing behind the ear.

ReSound One, Omnia, Nexia hearing aids support hands-free phone calls from compatible Apple iOS devices.

The Phonak hearing aids Marvel , Paradise , Lumity ( RIC and BTE aids ) support fully hands free phone calls with all Android and iPhone.
