Description
Hey there! Let’s talk about the ReSound Key 498—a powerhouse hearing aid from ReSound, a Danish brand under the GN Group, perfecting hearing tech since 1869. Released in early 2021 as part of the Key family, this Super Power Behind-the-Ear (BTE) model sits behind your ear with a mold or slim tube, built for severe to profound hearing loss (60-120 dB). It’s non-rechargeable, using a size 675 battery, and leans on ReSound’s Organic Hearing philosophy with Bluetooth streaming. For anyone in Bangladesh needing serious amplification in a reliable package, this one’s a heavy hitter.
Key Features
What’s this beast got under the hood? The ReSound Key 498 rocks 12 channels for sound tuning—plenty to handle complex audio for tough hearing loss. It’s powered by Motion Core technology with acoustic-motion sensors that adjust sound as you move, plus Noise Tracker II to cut background noise. You get Multiscope Adaptive Directionality for focused hearing, Bluetooth for streaming from your phone or TV, and a Tinnitus Sound Generator for relief if your ears ring. With an IP68 rating on some variants (not standard), it lasts 6-8 days on a 675 battery—rugged and ready for daily grind.
Why Choose ReSound Key 498?
Why pick this one? It’s the top-tier Super Power BTE in the Key lineup—perfect if you’ve got severe to profound loss and need max amplification with modern flair. I love how Multiscope Adaptive Directionality zeroes in on speech while keeping you aware of your surroundings, mimicking natural hearing. Compared to the Key 398 (similar but less refined), the 498 maxes out the Key 4 tier with 12 channels and better noise control, though it’s not as cutting-edge as OMNIA or Nexia models. It’s battery-powered, not rechargeable, but that 675 size keeps it simple, and it’s built to tackle Bangladesh’s humid, dusty days (IP68 where rated). If you need power and connectivity, this is your guy.
Performance in Different Environments
Imagine you’re at home, straining to hear—the Key 498 pumps out clear, loud sound with its 12 channels and Adaptive Directionality locking onto voices. Now, picture a noisy Chittagong street; its motion sensors and Noise Tracker II cut through the chaos, though it’s not as slick as premium models in extreme noise. It’s built for tough hearing challenges—great for one-on-one talks or moderate settings—and Bluetooth streams calls or TV audio with punch. That IP68 rating (on select versions) keeps it safe from sweat or dust, making it a solid pick for Bangladesh’s humid, bustling life—keeping you plugged into the world.

Every 6 months, hit up a Shono Bangladesh clinic for a pro clean or wax check—ears can get tricky with debris.
