What makes it special

Many things worth knowing about this hearing aid

Specs only tell you so much. Here's what's actually worth knowing about the ReSound Vivia 9 MicroRIE — what each feature does, and why it matters day to day.

🤖

360 Chip + DNN Chip (dual-chip) Chipset

Vivia uses a DualChip, Triple Processor architecture combining the power of the 360 Chip with a new Deep Neural Network Chip.

📡

Auracast Ready

Stream airport announcements, gym TVs, theater audio directly to your ears. The future is here.

🔋

30 hrs Battery Life

Two full days per charge. Weekend trips without the charger? Finally possible.

💧

1m Water Resistant

Rain, sweat, splashes. Golf in the rain? Go for it.

🔋

Rechargeable Battery Type

Rechargeable, just like your phone. Set them in the case overnight and wake up to a full day of power — no tiny batteries to swap, fumble with, or keep buying.

⚕️

HSA / FSA Eligible

Hearing aids count as a qualified medical expense, so you can pay with pre-tax HSA or FSA dollars. Use your HSA/FSA card right at checkout, or file the receipt with your plan for reimbursement.

⚡

Recharging Case

The case carries its own battery, so it tops off your hearing aids two to three times before it ever needs an outlet. Just drop them in, close the lid, and charging starts on its own.

How 360 Chip + DNN Chip (dual-chip) Works

Two Chips, One Job

One chip runs everyday sound, streaming, and connectivity. The other focuses entirely on AI speech enhancement. Splitting the work means neither chip drains the other.
AI Trained on 13.5 Million Sentences

ReSound trained the dedicated DNN chip on 13.5 million spoken sentences across languages and accents. It cranks through 4.9 trillion operations per day. Tiny chip, long resume.
Hear the Room, or Zero In

Default mode keeps the whole room in earshot so your brain decides what to follow. Intelligent Focus narrows the beam when the room gets too much.
Future-Ready Streaming

Bluetooth LE Audio for cleaner streaming and longer battery life. The Auracast Assistant bridges today's phones to tomorrow's Auracast broadcasts at theaters, gyms, and airports.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a dual-chip architecture better than a single chip?

One chip handles everyday sound while the other runs AI in parallel. Neither has to share processing power, so both perform at full capacity.

Which ReSound model uses the 360 + DNN dual-chip?

Only the ReSound Vivia flagship tier. Lower Vivia tiers and the rest of the ReSound lineup use the single-chip 360 architecture.

Does Auracast streaming require a new phone?

No. The Auracast Assistant in the Smart 3D app reaches Auracast broadcasts at compatible venues. Works on older iPhones and Android devices too.

What's the real-world battery life?

The ReSound Vivia 9 MicroRIE delivers 30hours, assuming 3 hours of daily Bluetooth streaming. This typically means 2+ full days of use before recharging.

What is the 60 Day Risk-free Trial?

A hearing aid doesn't prove itself in a quiet room on a Tuesday afternoon. It proves itself at the family dinner where everyone talks at once. The restaurant with the acoustics that defeat every table in the place. The phone calls you've been avoiding for two years. The TV that's been creeping up in volume so gradually you didn't notice until someone pointed it out.

That's why our trial is 60 days, not a long weekend. You deserve to know these are right, not just right enough to keep because returning them felt complicated. So we made returning them not complicated.

Every purchase includes professional fitting by a licensed hearing care provider, unlimited adjustments throughout your trial, and devices that arrive calibrated for your specific audiogram. The trial isn't a safety net bolted onto the product. It's the whole philosophy.

Ready to Experience 360 Chip + DNN Chip (dual-chip)
