A new advancement in hearing technology has arrived that combines artificial intelligence with exceptional sound quality. The ReSound Vivia hearing aids use dual-chip AI technology, trained on the equivalent of 25 years of conversation data, to help you hear better in challenging listening situations. The world's smallest micro-receiver-in-ear hearing aid powered by AI, Vivia brings together the latest features for speech clarity in noisy environments while maintaining a discreet and comfortable design.
Living in Manhattan means navigating busy restaurants, crowded streets, and social gatherings where hearing clearly can be challenging. The Vivia's Intelligent Focus feature prioritizes sounds based on where you're looking, making it easier to follow conversations in these dynamic environments. With up to 30 hours of battery life and protection against dust and moisture, these hearing aids are designed to keep up with your active lifestyle throughout the city, from morning meetings to evening entertainment.
AI-Powered Sound Processing
The ReSound Vivia uses dual-chip AI technology that processes sound similar to how your brain naturally works. The Intelligent Focus feature helps you concentrate on conversations by prioritizing sounds based on where you're looking. This makes it easier to follow discussions in busy places like restaurants or family gatherings.
The AI technology in these hearing aids has been extensively trained on 13.5 million spoken sentences across multiple languages. This training allows the Vivia to process sound up to 17 times more efficiently than other AI hearing solutions, making speech clearer while reducing unwanted background noise.
Vivia's Exciting New Features
The ReSound Vivia represents significant progress in hearing aid technology, building upon the connectivity features introduced in the Nexia model. What sets the Vivia apart is its dedicated AI chip that works alongside the main processor, creating a dual-chip system that mirrors the brain's natural way of processing sound. This AI technology, trained on 13.5 million spoken sentences across various languages, can perform 4.9 trillion operations per day to enhance speech clarity while reducing background noise.
Beyond its processing capabilities, the Vivia introduces new features in a smaller package. As the world's smallest microRIE hearing aid with AI, it maintains excellent battery life - up to 30 hours on a single charge, or 20 hours when using Intelligent Focus and streaming features. The hearing aid's ability to prioritize sounds based on where you're looking creates a more natural listening experience, particularly valuable in Manhattan's busy environments. Research demonstrates these improvements, with 64% of users reporting better speech comprehension in noise compared to other AI-assisted hearing aids.
Multiple Style Options
The ReSound Vivia comes in three models to suit different preferences:
- microRIE: Rechargeable with tap controls
- RIE 61: Uses size 312 disposable batteries
- RIE 62: Uses size 13 disposable batteries with telecoil
All models feature app controls and programmable push buttons. The Vivia is available in 10 color options, including Navy Blue and Red, allowing you to choose a style that matches your preferences. For those with single-sided hearing loss, the microRIE model is available in a CROS version.
Advanced Connectivity Features
The Vivia includes Bluetooth LE Audio 5.2 technology and Auracast capabilities. This allows wireless audio streaming from Apple iOS and Android devices, with hands-free phone calls available for compatible Apple iOS devices. The new Auracast Assistant in the ReSound Smart 3D app makes it simple to connect to audio broadcasts in places like theaters, houses of worship, and airports with just one tap.
Protection Against the Elements
Living in Manhattan means dealing with various weather conditions. The Vivia's IP68 rating - the highest protection level available for hearing aids - means your devices are protected against dust and moisture. You can confidently wear your hearing aids during light rain or humid summer days without worry.
Research-Backed Performance
Internal studies show that 64% of users experience improved speech understanding in noisy environments with the ReSound Vivia compared to other AI-assisted hearing aids. Additionally, 83% of patients prefer the new Intelligent Focus feature over previous noise-reduction technologies.
Human-Centered AI Design
Unlike some AI systems that make decisions for you, the Vivia's technology is designed to support your natural hearing preferences. The AI works alongside your brain's natural ability to process sound, helping you focus on the conversations and sounds that matter most to you while maintaining awareness of your surroundings.
Professional Fitting and Support
At the Center for Healthy Hearing, we understand that choosing the right hearing aids is an important decision. Our experienced audiologist, Dr. Ike Iheagwara, will work with you to determine if the ReSound Vivia is the right choice for your hearing needs and lifestyle. Through comprehensive hearing evaluations and detailed discussions about your daily activities and listening environments, we develop a complete understanding of your hearing needs.
The advanced technology in the ReSound Vivia offers extensive programming capabilities, with multiple channels for precise sound adjustments. During your fitting, we use Real Ear Measurement (REM) technology - a scientific approach that verifies your hearing aids are providing the right amount of amplification for your specific hearing loss. This verification process measures the actual output of your hearing aids while they're in your ears, allowing us to make precise adjustments that match your prescription. Without REM verification, there's no way to know if your hearing aids are providing the correct amplification.
Your success with hearing aids depends on proper programming and ongoing support. We schedule follow-up appointments to fine-tune your devices based on your real-world experiences. These adjustments help optimize your hearing aids' performance in the specific situations that matter most to you, whether that's hearing better in business meetings, restaurants, or at home with family. Our goal is to ensure you receive the maximum benefit from your hearing technology through precise fitting, verification, and continuous support.
