Soundly Scorecard

Hearing Loss Level 🔊
- ReSound Vivia is a fully customizable, prescription hearing aid appropriate for mild-severe hearing loss
- If you have severe hearing loss, your care provider may fit you with a custom earmold to reduce feedback
- If you have profound hearing loss, you may be a better fit for ReSound high-powered BTE
Care Type 🏥
- ReSound Vivia is a prescription device fit and programmed by a professional
- After an initial fitting, you can connect with your care provider remotely through the ReSound app
Sound Quality 🔊
- ReSound Vivia is an excellent choice for background noise management. The new onboard AI chip is focused on increasing clarity in the toughest listening settings
- Vivia uses a combination of beam forming microphones and noise reduction algorithms to single out speech in complex noise environments
Comfort 🦻
- ReSound Vivia is a discreet and comfortable product, but some users with smaller ear canals find the M&RIE receiver uncomfortable in their ears. M&RIE can be removed by your care provider and replaced with a standard receiver.
Style 💫
- ReSound Vivia hearing aids sit behind the ear
- Vivia is one of the smallest behind-the-ear style devices on the market. Vivia's size is particularly impressive given the new dual-chip architecture and strong battery life.
- Vivia comes in a wide range of colors, including new Navy Blue and Red options.
Battery 🔋
- Vivia comes with three battery options, including micro RIE rechargeable (30 hours), a larger disposable battery version (size 13), and a second disposable battery option (size 312).
- A rechargeable version of Vivia is also available with a CROS (for single-sided deafness)
Connection 📡
- Vivia is one of the first hearing aids on the market to release Auracast-compatible hearing aids. Auracast will take a few years to roll out in public spaces. Still, once it is available, it will allow users to stream public announcements, movies, and other shared audio experiences directly to their hearing aids.
- Of course, Vivia also allows standard Bluetooth streaming from iPhone and Android devices. iPhone users can take calls hands-free, while Android users must keep their phones close to pick up outbound audio.
- Vivia uses Apple's MFI connection and Android's ASHA connection to stream content through Bluetooth
Dexterity Level 🤏
- Vivia is reasonably easy to handle but does require the wearer to place the hearing aid behind their ear and insert the receiver into the ear (consistent across all behind-the-ear styles)
- Vivia's recharging cases use conduction charging, which is easier to handle
- Vivia has an app feature that uses your phone camera to check that the hearing aids are in the ear properly
Waterproof Level 💦
- ReSound Vivia is water resistant with an IP rating of 68
- This hearing aid can withstand dust and water submersion in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes
App features 📱
- Remote care: After an in-office activation, the remote care option is available on the app
- Customization: Volume control, treble/bass, streaming treble/bass, programs
- Tinnitus masking: Customizable programs with a hearing care professional or use the Resound Relief app to experiment with masking noise
- Find my hearing aid: Yes, feature is included in the app
- Check my fit: An app feature from Resound to check the hearing aids are in the ear properly
