ReSound is an American company that produces hearing aids and accessories to improve the lives of those with hearing loss.

The Unite Phone Clip+ is a little gizmo that streams phone calls and audio straight to a ReSound hearing aid. You need to download the ReSound Control app onto your phone (compatible with iOS and Android), from which you are then able to control the volume of one or two hearing aids separately, creating the perfect level of volume for your needs.

The Unite is easy to set up and use; the audio streams clearly and without any issues. As well as phone calls, you can stream music or audio from your phone or any other Bluetooth device, and are able to connect to two devices at once if you wish. You can even mute the microphone, which switches off any background noise and allows you to focus solely on what you are streaming.

Unfortunately, the design has some flaws. The Unite comes with a crocodile clip that allows you to attach it to your clothing or seat belt, but I would worry about this clip permanently marking my clothing. Also, the cord that allows you to wear the device around your neck is cheap, and I have my doubts that it would last intact for long.

Perhaps the most frustrating issue was that the person at the other end of the phone sometimes couldn’t hear me properly. We couldn’t understand what it was making the connection so temperamental, as sometimes it worked perfectly. We also found the buttons unresponsive at times, and they often needed to be clicked twice to get a reaction.

These issues made the product unreliable and often exasperating to use. It is a brilliant idea but these problems need to be ironed out before it is a strong product. RRP £289
