What's New
Relate 5.0 custom in-the-ear combines custom craftmanship with modern hearing technology, offering a personalized hearing experience in a rechargeable or discreet style. This style is specifically built for you using custom ear impressions done by a hearing care provider. This personalized approach helps create a secure, comfortable fit while improving sound delivery and all-day wearing comfort. Because no two ears are the same, each hearing aid is tailored to your unique anatomy.
Sound Processing
- Relate 5.0 delivers intelligent sound processing that automatically adapts as listening environments change. Whether you are having a conversation at home, meeting friends out socially, or spending time outdoors, the technology works in the background to help provide a clear and comfortable listening experience.
Rechargeability
- Relate 5.0 rechargeable custom design eliminates the need to regularly change disposable batteries. Simply place the hearing aids in their charging case and with up to 29 hours battery life you are supported for your day’s activities.

You can stream phone calls, music, podcasts and other audio directly to the hearing aids using Bluetooth® Classic technology. Hands-free calling is also supported, allowing conversations to flow naturally without needing to hold the phone.
Relate 5.0 App
