#Hearing aids have become intelligent The world first wireless hearing aid which can stream sound directly from phones
The way hearing aids today work is basically that a microphone picks up sound and transmits it to a loadspeaker
The latest hearing aids have a wireless communication feature allowing you to pick up and hear signals from,
which means the hearing aid works anywhere in the world. Before 2010, hearing aids were unable to pick up radio waves directly,
but instead the waves were transmitted to a receiver worn around the neck. 2. 4 GHZ technology
making hearing aids capable of picking up signals directly by means of antennas. Therefore, there was no need for an external recipient.
As part of the development, the team also began exploring ways to optimize the signal between the antennas in the left and right hearing aids.
which today is one of the main characteristics of GN Resound hearing aids. he ear-to-ear technology focuses on providing enhanced speech intelligibility and a clearer sound image for users,
together with Jesper Thaysen, have developed the antenna technology used in GN Resound ear-to-ear hearing aids today.
The team has produced various types of antenna systems capable of optimizing the so-called creeping radio waves to reduce the loss of sound data transmitted from the right hearing aid to the left.
The ear-to ear-technology enables the left and right hearing aids to communicate with each other
and how this can be optimized to ensure that the hearing aid provides a clear sound image,
The calculations enabled us to understand how to design the actual antenna to ensure the best possible match for this type of hearing aid,
ear-to-ear is integrated in all new GN Resound hearing aids and has opened up completely new possibilities for users:
f your hearing aids are not communicating, one hearing aid does not nowhow it has been adjusted, or why it has been adjusted the way it has.
By means of ear-to-ear technology, hearing aids automatically synchronize data with each other. If you, for instance, are in a room with reverberation,
the hearing aids communicate to avoid strange sounds occurring in one ear. They adapt themselves, says Jesper Thaysen.
In 2013, GN Resound launched the Resound Linxtm hearing aid, which was the first hearing aid on the market with integrated ade for iphonetechnology.
This technology adds an extra dimension to the aids allowing you to listen to music
and receive phone calls by means of wireless transmission of sound directly to the hearing aid. The company has launched recently Linx successor,
Resound Linx2#,which, according to Jesper Thaysen, is even better at utilizing the technology to improve speech intelligibility,

#New receptor for controlling blood pressure discovered High blood pressure is a primary risk factor in the development of many cardiovascular diseases.
Through a reaction chain, this ultimately leads to a reduction in blood pressure. A range of factors is known to affect blood pressure.
However, there have been gaps in the research that has been conducted to date on the underlying molecular mechanisms.
A reason for this is that controlling blood pressure is one of the body most complex control functions.
Blood pressure levels are regulated primarily via certain arteries known as resistance vessels. Blood pressure rises when these vessels contract
and decrease in diameter. The opposite is also the case: when the vessels relax, blood pressure drops.
The actual state of tension in the blood vessels is regulated by the muscle cells in the vascular wall.
and reduces blood pressure. If this process does not work or if it does not function correctly, this can cause hypertension.
and thus to the reduction in blood pressure. fter we had found clues in cell culture experiments that a certain docking site for ATP,
In fact, the blood pressure in these mice with the inactivated P2y2receptor subsequently increased over the course of a few days. he P2y2receptor attracted to the ATP is the key protein.
