ReSound Vivia - Hearing Aid Review

The ReSound Vivia 9 is ReSound's premium flagship hearing, featuring advanced AI-powered processing (via a Deep Neural Network trained on millions of speech samples) to enhance speech clarity and reduce background noise. It's one of the smallest rechargeable microRIE (receiver-in-ear) designs available, making it discreet and comfortable for all-day wear. What does that mean for you? Less background noise, easy all day wear and the best hearing in groups!

Key features of ReSound Vivia 9 hearing aids include:

• A dedicated "Hear in Noise" mode: that activates the AI for noticeably better conversation focus in challenging settings like outdoors or with machinery (users report a "wow" difference when switching programs).

• All-weatherproof design: ReSound Vivia IP 68 rating for water and dust

• All-day battery: ReSound Vivia hearing aids provide up to 30 hours of use on a single charge.

• Easy call pick-up: With TapControl, you can easily answer calls by double-tapping on your ear or your hearing aid.

• Superb wireless CROS/biCROS solution: ReSound Vivia hearing aids offer a wireless CROS/biCROS solution that can help you hear better in noisy environments.

• Smaller than ever: The rechargeable Micro RIE is 25% smaller than the standard RIE.

• Excellent performance in quiet environments with crisp, natural sound and strong own-voice comfort.

• Top-tier connectivity with Bluetooth LE Audio, Auracast readiness for future public audio broadcasting, and seamless streaming.

Choose 9s if you:

• Want every advantage available to you.

• Have a more severe hearing loss.

• Have tried lower models and were not satisfied.

Our Personal thoughts:

The 9s provide you the best signal to noise ratio (8db) on the market, making it much easier to hear in noise. It is why we recommend and sell the 9s almost exclusively. We have worked hard to keep the price on the 9s as low as possible so that more people can enjoy the rich sound quality they provide. If you are interested in the lower models, just give us a call and we can go over all your options.
