I am proud of how our research and development teams have come together in a unified organization to utilize scale, talent, and processes to accelerate innovation in products and services that our customers benefit from. And we are not stopping here – all the knowledge, capabilities, and research we have acquired will be applied across other GN products and projects, furthering innovation across the Group.”

Hearing aid innovation with no compromises

The new ReSound Vivia hearing aids deliver unparalleled sound quality in noisy environments and all-day comfort without compromising size or battery life. Central to this innovation is GN's unique human approach to AI, which models the brain's natural sound processing capability to create voice clarity in complex listening environments. GN's Intelligent Focus feature is distinctive in its ability to respond to the direction a person is looking, ensuring the AI enhances sounds based on the user's natural response to their environment. This proprietary technology provides a more natural and effortless listening experience, even in challenging situations like noisy restaurants or crowded venues.

Redefining professional collaboration for small spaces

As more organizations transition back to the office and hybrid work environments become the norm, the demand for efficient small meeting space solutions continues to grow. These spaces often pose unique challenges for video collaboration. Traditional solutions often struggle to capture all participants equally, particularly those seated closer to the screen, while some lack video conferencing equipment altogether. This imbalance can result in empty meeting rooms and gaps in communication, highlighting the need for solutions that provide clear, inclusive experiences for everyone, regardless of location.
