ReSound Enzo IA: The World’s Smallest
Rechargeable Super Power Hearing Aid Unveiled
GN Hearing officially launched
its new generation super power hearing aid, ReSound Enzo IA, on August
12, 2025. Described by the company as “the world’s smallest rechargeable
Super Power hearing aid”, ReSound Enzo IA is designed for people with severe
to profound hearing loss and aims to deliver significant improvement in
speech understanding in noisy environments. For users in the super power
segment, understanding speech in noise is one of the biggest challenges;
GN states that, thanks to its Organic Hearing philosophy, the Enzo IA overcomes
this issue without compromising device size or battery life. As a
result, ReSound Enzo IA provides users who require high output with enhanced
sound quality while maintaining a small, stylish design for comfortable wear.
Key Highlights:
- AI-Powered
Processing: The Enzo IA uses GN’s new 360
processor and Intelligence Augmented (IA) artificial
intelligence platform to analyze environmental sounds in real time. With
machine learning, it automatically classifies and adapts to different
acoustic environments, delivering the best possible listening experience
in every situation . This reduces the listening effort required for users
with severe hearing loss, especially in noisy environments.
- Superior
Performance in Noise: The device features Clear Focus,
an extremely narrow beamforming directional microphone technology. It
focuses on speech coming from the front while suppressing distracting
background noise, greatly improving speech understanding in noise. In
tests, 93% of super power users preferred listening in noise with the Enzo
IA, and it delivered a 2.7 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio
compared to its predecessors.
- Compact
Design & Long Battery Life: Despite its high power
output, ReSound Enzo IA comes in a much smaller housing than
battery-powered counterparts. With a built-in lithium-ion battery, it
delivers up to 28 hours of use on a single charge (~20 hours with
heavy streaming). This eliminates the need for mid-day battery changes and
offers peace of mind for all-day use.
- Advanced
Connectivity: Enzo IA is the first super power
hearing aid to support Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio and Auracast
broadcast technology. Users can connect directly to public venue audio
broadcasts through the ReSound Smart 3D smartphone app. The device is also
compatible with accessories like Multi-Mic+ and TV-Streamer+,
can connect to two devices at once, and allows one-touch call answering
directly on the hearing aid.
AI-Enhanced Sound Processing
At the heart of the ReSound Enzo IA is GN’s Intelligence
Augmented™ (IA) AI-driven sound platform. This platform, working with the 360
dedicated processor chip, constantly listens to and analyzes the
surrounding sounds, automatically adapting to various listening environments.
For example, when moving from a quiet office to a busy restaurant, the device
detects the change and switches to optimal settings without user intervention.
Developed under GN’s “Organic Hearing” approach, this continuous optimization
aims to reduce cognitive load and make following conversations less
fatiguing for people with severe hearing loss.
Thanks to this intelligent platform, Enzo IA delivers advanced
noise management and the world’s best feedback management system. In
high-gain hearing aids, unwanted “whistling” feedback is common; GN’s system
allows for more stable gain (additional amplification without distortion or
feedback) than competitors. This is particularly important for users with
profound hearing loss, as it enables higher amplification when needed.
Superior Performance in Noisy Environments
For those with severe hearing loss, distinguishing
speech in noisy, crowded settings can be a major struggle. ReSound Enzo IA
addresses this with Clear Focus, a state-of-the-art directional
beamforming feature. According to GN, Clear Focus is the narrowest beamformer
in the industry, focusing on the talker in front while suppressing disruptive
sounds from other directions . This targeted listening mode makes it much
easier to follow conversations in noise. In company tests, 93% of users
chose the Enzo IA for listening in noise, and it delivered a 2.7 dB
improvement in SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) compared to previous high-power
models. In some measurements, combining Clear Focus with high gain capacity
provided up to an 8 dB SNR advantage —a significant improvement in noisy
listening situations.
Compact Design & Long Battery Life
The ReSound Enzo IA stands out as one of the most compact
devices in its class. According to GN Hearing, Enzo IA has the smallest
rechargeable design among current super power hearing aids. This allows
people with severe hearing loss—who previously had to wear larger, bulkier
devices—to enjoy a smaller, more discreet hearing aid. The compact body
improves comfort behind the ear and offers an aesthetic advantage. Importantly,
size reduction does not come at the cost of performance; power output and
amplification capacity remain as high as larger super power devices.
One of the device’s biggest advantages is its powerful
rechargeable battery. A single charge provides around 28 hours of
continuous use, or about 20 hours with a half-day of direct streaming. This
delivers a true “all-day battery” experience, eliminating the need for
mid-day battery swaps. For travelers and active users, reduced battery anxiety
means greater independence and confidence. The device comes with an inductive
desktop charger, whose closed design helps protect against dust and
moisture for reliable charging every time. Additionally, nano coating
technology on the device surfaces provides water and sweat resistance,
ensuring it withstands daily challenges.
For style and personalization, Enzo IA offers 10
different color options, allowing users to match their hearing aid to their
hair or personal style. Whether blending in with natural tones or making a bold
fashion statement, users can customize their look. Especially in the BTE form
factor, having tones that complement various hair and skin colors makes the
device easier to embrace and integrate into daily life. Ultimately, ReSound
Enzo IA combines high performance with user-focused design.
Advanced Wireless Connectivity
ReSound Enzo IA is equipped with the latest wireless
technology, including Bluetooth Low Energy Audio—making it the first
super power hearing aid to support Bluetooth LE Audio. Bluetooth LE Audio
consumes less power than classic Bluetooth while offering higher sound quality
and the ability to broadcast to multiple devices simultaneously. The Auracast™
feature enables real-world use of this broadcast function, allowing users to connect
directly to public venue sound systems via the ReSound Smart 3D app. For
example, museum audio guides, airport announcements, or conference hall audio
feeds can be accessed directly through the hearing aid if the venue supports
Auracast.
Enzo IA offers broad compatibility with accessories
and devices. For instance, it works with the ReSound Multi-Mic+
remote microphone for direct speech pickup in noisy settings or meetings. This
accessory also includes a Telecoil, enabling connection to loop systems
found in churches, theaters, and cinemas. For home TV listening, the ReSound
TV-Streamer+ streams audio directly to the hearing aid, delivering clear
sound independent of background noise . Enzo IA can connect to two devices
simultaneously (e.g., phone and tablet) and allows switching between them
without disconnecting. It also enables hands-free calling, letting users
answer calls with a press of the button on the device and speak directly
through its microphones.
User Experience & Launch Details
The real-world impact of the ReSound Enzo IA can be seen
in user feedback. Helen Cherry, one of the first users, says the device
has “changed her world”. She adds, “These hearing aids have changed
my life; I couldn’t hear anything without them”. Cherry highlights that
small-seeming technological improvements can significantly ease daily life for
those with profound hearing loss, saying, “ReSound Enzo IA has enriched my
auditory experience in ways I never thought possible”.
GN Hearing announced that the ReSound Enzo IA will be
available first in the U.S. and Germany starting August 21, 2025. It
will roll out to other markets in the coming months; while no exact date is set
for Turkey, the phrase “in the near future” suggests it is expected
soon. The Beltone equivalent, Beltone Boost Max S, will launch on the
same date in the U.S. and Germany before expanding elsewhere . As one of the
global leaders in hearing healthcare, GN Hearing aims to improve end-user
hearing experiences and provide professionals with advanced solutions. With its
innovations, Enzo IA sets a new benchmark in the super power hearing aid
segment.
