What You Miss Compared to the Vivia 9

The Vivia 5 offers excellent performance for everyday use, but it does not include the advanced premium features found in the Vivia 9. Key differences include:

• Less Advanced Speech-in-Noise Support – The Vivia 9 offers stronger microphone directionality and noise reduction, making conversations in very loud settings easier.

• Simpler Sound Personalisation – Vivia 5 has fewer automatic adjustments and sound customisation options than the top model.

• Lower Streaming Fidelity – Audio streaming quality is good, but not as refined or immersive as the Vivia 9.

• Fewer Processing Channels – Reduced precision in separating speech from complex background environments.

For many wearers, the Vivia 5 provides a balanced mix of clarity, connectivity, and value. However, if you frequently find yourself in very noisy places or want the most sophisticated personalisation, the Vivia 9 may be the better choice.

FAQs

• How long does the battery last on Resound Vivia hearing aids, and are they rechargeable?

  The Resound Vivia microRIE rechargeable model offers up to 30 hours of use on a single charge, or 20 hours when streaming 50% of the time.
  
  This means you can wear them all day without worrying about the battery running out, even if you're streaming music on your commute or taking phone calls throughout the day.
  
  The hearing aids come with a convenient charging case, and you also have the option of non-rechargeable models that use traditional disposable batteries (size 312 or 13) if you prefer that style.

• Can I use my Resound Vivia hearing aids with my smartphone and other devices?

  Yes, absolutely! Resound Vivia seamlessly connects to both Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast for future-proof connectivity. You can stream phone calls, music, podcasts, and audiobooks directly to your hearing aids from your iPhone or Android device.
  
  The hearing aids are also compatible with the ReSound Smart 3D app, which allows you to adjust volume, change programmes, and personalise your hearing experience right from your mobile.
  
  You can also experience hands-free calls with easy call pick-up with a tap, making it simple to answer calls without reaching for your phone.

• Will Resound Vivia hearing aids help me hear better in noisy environments like restaurants or busy high streets?

  The Resound Vivia hearing aids are specifically designed to excel in challenging listening environments. They feature a Deep Neural Network (DNN) trained on 25 years' worth of conversations to enhance speech clarity in noise.
  
  The Intelligent Focus feature helps you concentrate on the person you're facing whilst reducing competing voices and background noise.
  
  Whether you're dining out at your local pub, shopping on a busy high street, or attending a family gathering, these hearing aids work to make conversations clearer and more natural.

• Are Resound Vivia hearing aids weatherproof, and how discreet are they?

  Each Resound Vivia hearing aid is IP68-rated with protective nanocoating on every component, making them highly resistant to moisture, dust, and the unpredictable British weather. You can wear them confidently whether you're caught in a rain shower or working up a sweat at the gym.
  
  In terms of discretion, the microRIE model is designed as the world's smallest AI-powered hearing aid, sitting comfortably behind your ear and remaining virtually unnoticeable.
  
  They're also available in a range of colours, including classic shades and contemporary options like navy blue and red, so you can choose what suits your style best.
