ReSound Nexia
Compared around your hearing, comfort and everyday needs.

The short answer
ReSound builds its aids around what it calls Organic Hearing, the idea that your brain is the real sound processor and the aid should feed it a natural, full picture rather than an over-engineered one. Its newest aids add AI on top of that, but the goal stays the same: sound that feels real and unforced.
Two things set ReSound apart in particular. It has long led the field on connectivity, having been the first brand to stream straight to an iPhone, and it still has one of the strongest setups for phones, TV and public sound systems. And its M&RIE design places a tiny extra microphone inside your ear canal, using the natural shape of your ear to give you a more accurate sense of where sounds are coming from. ReSound tends to suit people who value natural sound and want their aids to work smoothly with their devices.
The technology
ReSound offers speech-processing and connectivity features across several product families. AI processing, Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast support depend on the model. Broadcast listening also needs a compatible transmitting venue or device.

The current range
ReSound offers a clear ladder from its newest AI aid down to more accessible options. These are the ones we fit and service, with who each suits, recommended only once we have your hearing results.

Featured
Vivia includes a small rechargeable receiver-in-ear option with AI-supported speech-in-noise processing on specified models. We compare the technology level and fit with your needs, and check the equipment required for streaming or Auracast reception.
Best for: People who want ReSound's newest top-tier hearing in the smallest rechargeable design.
Style and power: Receiver-in-ear; rechargeable and battery styles.
Phone and accessories: LE Audio and Auracast on compatible configurations.
Consideration: AI processing and runtime vary by model and level.

Option 02
The aid that first brought Auracast to ReSound, still a strong current-platform choice with great streaming and a slim profile, at a lower price than Vivia.
Best for: People who want strong wireless connectivity across a wide choice of styles.
Style and power: Receiver-in-ear, behind-ear and custom; battery varies.
Phone and accessories: LE Audio on supported styles and phones.
Consideration: Small non-wireless custom styles do not share every feature.

Option 03
ENZO IA brings ReSound's current processing and connectivity to a rechargeable Super Power behind-the-ear format for suitable severe-to-profound hearing losses. ReSound quotes up to 28 hours for a specified configuration, or 20 hours with streaming for half the time; real use varies.
Best for: People with severe-to-profound loss who need current ReSound technology in a high-output BTE.
Style and power: Super Power behind-ear; rechargeable.
Phone and accessories: Compatible phone streaming and ReSound accessories.
Consideration: Needs careful output, earmould and handling checks.

Option 04
Savi provides another ReSound option to compare for everyday listening. The available UK style, processing level and connectivity need to be checked before deciding whether it meets your needs.
Best for: People who want clear sound and modern connectivity at a lower price than the flagship lines.
Style and power: Receiver-in-ear and other styles; power source varies.
Phone and accessories: Streaming and broadcast support depend on the exact version.
Consideration: UK style availability is confirmed before a recommendation.

Option 05
If you already wear an older ReSound aid, we can still adjust, service and support it, and advise whether an upgrade is worth it for you.
Best for: People who already wear an older ReSound aid, or want previous-generation value.
Style and power: Earlier receiver-in-ear, behind-ear and custom options.
Phone and accessories: Phone and accessory support depend on the original model.
Consideration: Check repair support and condition before deciding to replace.
Tell us the model and your phone. We confirm UK availability, exact features and accessory support before recommending it. Battery runtime varies with streaming, settings, hearing loss and battery age.
Independent advice
We would rather be honest than make a sale. If your single biggest challenge is following speech in very loud, crowded rooms and you want the highest independently tested performance there, Phonak's Sphere tends to lead. And if you would value built-in health features like fall detection, Starkey is worth a look. ReSound is often the right answer when natural sound and excellent streaming matter most, and comparing it properly is exactly what an independent fitter is for.

Very. ReSound was the first brand to stream directly to an iPhone and still has some of the best connectivity there is, for phones, TVs and public sound systems through Auracast. If staying connected to your devices matters to you, ReSound is a strong choice.
The ReSound Vivia, the brand's first AI-powered aid and one of the smallest of its kind, is the current flagship.
