Hearing loss can make social situations that were once enjoyable become draining and frustrating. When you can't hear clearly, you might find yourself withdrawing from conversations or avoiding social gatherings altogether. The ReSound Vivia's advanced speech processing and noise reduction capabilities help you stay engaged in the moments that matter. Being able to participate fully in conversations with family, catch every word during work meetings, or enjoy social activities without straining to hear can reduce the mental fatigue that often comes with hearing loss.

Many of our patients report feeling more confident and energized in social settings once they can hear clearly again. This renewed ability to connect with others and participate in daily activities often leads to improved mental well-being and a more active social life. The AI technology in Vivia works to reduce the cognitive effort needed to follow conversations, allowing you to focus on what's being said rather than struggling to hear.

The ReSound Vivia represents the latest advancement in hearing aid technology, combining artificial intelligence with practical features to address your hearing needs. This new hearing aid processes sound in a way that mirrors how our brains naturally handle audio information, making it easier to understand speech and participate in conversations.

The integration of AI technology in the Vivia brings meaningful improvements to hearing aid performance. Through its Deep Neural Network, trained on millions of spoken sentences, these hearing aids can better distinguish between speech and background noise. This technology, combined with features like Intelligent Focus, makes it possible to better follow conversations in challenging listening environments such as restaurants, family gatherings, or other social situations.

Advanced AI Technology for Better Speech Understanding

ReSound Vivia uses sophisticated artificial intelligence that processes sound similarly to how our brains naturally handle audio information. The dual-chip AI technology includes a Deep Neural Network (DNN) that has been trained on 13.5 million spoken sentences across various languages. This extensive training allows the hearing aids to process sound up to 17 times more efficiently than previous technologies.

The Intelligent Focus feature represents one of Vivia's most practical applications of AI technology. This feature prioritizes sounds based on where you're looking, making it easier to focus on conversations in challenging environments like restaurants or family gatherings. Our patients report better speech comprehension in noisy situations with these new devices.

Compact Design Meets Long-lasting Performance

Despite its advanced technology, ReSound Vivia maintains a remarkably small profile. As the smallest micro-receiver-in-ear (microRIE) hearing aid with AI capabilities, it offers discretion without compromising on performance. The hearing aids provide up to 30 hours of use on a single charge, or 20 hours when using streaming and Intelligent Focus features. A quick 10-minute charge gives you 2.7 hours of wearing time, perfect for those unexpected situations when you need a boost.

Connected Hearing for Modern Living

ReSound Vivia integrates seamlessly with modern technology through Bluetooth LE Audio 5.2. This allows direct streaming from both Apple iOS and Android devices, with hands-free phone calls available for compatible Apple iOS devices. The hearing aids are also equipped with Auracast technology, which opens up new possibilities for audio accessibility in public spaces like theaters, places of worship, and airports.

The ReSound Smart 3D app includes the first-ever Auracast Assistant for hearing aids, making it simple to connect to available audio streams with just one tap. This feature anticipates the growing adoption of Auracast technology in public spaces, preparing you for future developments in audio accessibility.

Battery Life That Keeps Up With Your Technology

The advanced AI features in the ReSound Vivia require significant processing power, which is why battery performance matters. The Vivia delivers up to 30 hours of use on a single charge, or 20 hours when using streaming and AI features like Intelligent Focus. For busy professionals or active adults who stream phone calls, music, or use their hearing aids extensively throughout the day, this reliable battery life means you won't have to worry about running out of power mid-conversation or during important meetings. A quick 10-minute charge provides 2.7 hours of use - perfect for those times when you need a quick boost before heading out to dinner or an evening event. The Vivia offers multiple charging options, including desktop and premium chargers, allowing you to choose the solution that best fits your lifestyle.

Durability for Daily Life

Living in Colorado means embracing an active lifestyle, from skiing in the mountains to biking on local trails. The ReSound Vivia is built to keep up with your adventures. With an IP68 rating - the highest level of protection against moisture and debris - these hearing aids stand up to sweat during a bike ride along the Cherry Creek Trail or dust on a hike near Centennial. You can participate in your favorite outdoor activities with confidence, knowing your hearing aids are protected against the elements. Whether you're catching live music at Red Rocks or enjoying a craft beer at your favorite brewery, the Vivia keeps you connected to the sounds that matter.

Professional Fitting and Ongoing Support

At The Audiology METHOD, we never rely on the manufacturer's basic settings when fitting hearing aids. We use Real Ear Measurement (REM) verification - the gold standard in hearing aid fitting - to ensure your ReSound Vivia hearing aids are precisely programmed for your unique hearing needs. This process involves placing a tiny microphone in your ear canal to measure exactly how sound is being delivered by your hearing aids.

Since every ear canal is different, even between your own two ears, this verification step is critical for achieving optimal hearing aid performance. Through REM, we can verify that your Vivia hearing aids are providing the right amount of sound across all frequencies, allowing you to get the full benefit of the advanced AI features and speech enhancement technology. This attention to precise fitting, combined with Dr. Link's expertise, helps ensure you receive the maximum benefit from your investment in better hearing.

Available Models and Options

ReSound Vivia comes in three models to suit different preferences:

  • A rechargeable microRIE model with tap controls
  • RIE 61 with size 312 battery
  • RIE 62 with size 13 battery and telecoil

All models feature programmable push buttons and are available in 10 color options, including Navy Blue and Red. For those with single-sided deafness, a CROS version is available in the microRIE model.
