Experience AI-Powered Hearing with ReSound Vivia

The ReSound Vivia marks a significant step forward in hearing aid technology, bringing together artificial intelligence and sophisticated sound processing to address hearing needs with unprecedented precision. This new addition to our lineup of hearing solutions at Family Audiology and Hearing Centers combines a remarkably compact design with powerful features to help you hear more clearly in all listening environments.

At the heart of the Vivia is a dual-chip AI system that processes sound in ways similar to natural hearing, trained on millions of real-world conversations. The Deep Neural Network technology works continuously to enhance speech while managing background noise, helping you stay connected to the conversations and sounds that matter most to you.

Understanding ReSound Vivia's AI Technology

The Vivia utilizes dual-chip AI technology that mirrors the brain's natural way of processing sound. This system includes a Deep Neural Network (DNN) that has been trained on 13.5 million spoken sentences across various languages. The DNN performs 4.9 trillion operations daily to enhance speech clarity while reducing background noise.

The Intelligent Focus feature stands out as a key innovation. By prioritizing sounds based on the direction you're looking, it helps you focus on conversations more naturally, particularly in challenging environments like restaurants or family gatherings. Research shows that 64% of users experience improved speech comprehension in noise with the Vivia compared to other AI-assisted hearing aids.

Power and Flexibility

The ReSound Vivia provides reliable power management to support your active lifestyle. A full charge delivers up to 30 hours of use, giving you confidence throughout your day. When using features like Intelligent Focus and audio streaming, you can expect up to 20 hours of continuous operation. For those busy mornings when you might forget to charge overnight, a quick 10-minute charge provides 2.7 hours of use - perfect for an impromptu lunch meeting or afternoon errands.

We offer three charging solutions to match your needs. The desktop charger provides a stable base for overnight charging, while the standard charger adds portability for travel. The premium charger includes additional features and a built-in power bank for charging on the go without access to power outlets.

Models and Personalization

The Vivia family includes three distinct models to accommodate different preferences and hearing needs. The microRIE represents the smallest rechargeable option, featuring tap controls for easy adjustments. For those who prefer traditional batteries, the RIE 61 uses size 312 batteries, while the RIE 62 adds telecoil functionality and uses size 13 batteries. The telecoil in the RIE 62 allows you to connect to sound systems in theaters, places of worship, and other public spaces.

Each model comes with app control and programmable push buttons for easy adjustments. The Vivia's color palette includes 10 options, from subtle shades that blend with hair and skin tones to statement colors like Navy Blue and Red. This range allows you to choose a look that matches your style while maintaining the discreet profile of modern hearing aids.

Connectivity and Streaming

The Vivia incorporates Bluetooth LE Audio 5.2 technology, enabling direct streaming from Apple iOS and Android devices. This allows you to:

• Stream phone calls, music, and other audio directly to your hearing aids
• Make hands-free calls from compatible Apple iOS devices
• Use the ReSound Smart 3D app for personalized control

Auracast Compatibility

One of the most exciting features of the Vivia is its Auracast capability. This technology allows you to receive audio broadcasts in various public spaces like theaters, places of worship, airports, and restaurants. The ReSound Smart 3D app includes the first-ever Auracast Assistant for hearing aids, making it simple to connect to available audio streams with a single tap.

Durability and Protection

Living in Ohio means experiencing a wide range of environmental conditions—from humid summers to cold, dry winters, and everything in between. The ReSound Vivia hearing aids are specifically designed to withstand these challenging conditions, featuring an IP68 rating that provides the highest level of protection against debris and moisture for hearing aids.

Whether you're walking through the fields of our agricultural regions, enjoying the shores of Lake Erie, navigating urban environments in Cincinnati or Cleveland, or exploring the scenic landscapes of the Appalachian foothills, these hearing aids offer unparalleled durability. The IP68 rating means your device can survive up to 60 minutes in 1 meter of water and resist dust infiltration for up to 8 hours. This is crucial for Ohio residents who lead active lifestyles and need hearing technology that can keep up with their daily activities.

For farmers in our rural counties, outdoor enthusiasts in our state parks, or professionals moving between climate-controlled offices and variable outdoor conditions, the ReSound Vivia provides confidence and reliability. You won't have to worry about moisture from unexpected rain showers, dust from agricultural work, or humidity during our hot summer months.

Our audiologists understand the unique environmental challenges faced by Ohio residents and can help you select a hearing aid that not only meets your hearing needs but also stands up to our state's diverse conditions.

Natural Sound Processing

Rather than completely eliminating background sounds, the Vivia's AI system is trained to maintain environmental awareness while emphasizing speech clarity. This approach ensures you can still enjoy important ambient sounds like children's laughter or music while maintaining clear communication with those around you.

The Benefits of Professional Fitting

Professional hearing aid fitting goes far beyond simply selecting a device and placing it in your ear. At Family Audiology and Hearing Centers, our audiologists use Real Ear Measurements (REM) to provide a precise, personalized hearing solution that over-the-counter devices cannot match. REM involves placing a tiny microphone in your ear canal alongside the hearing aid to measure exactly how sound is being amplified at your eardrum. This sophisticated process allows us to verify that the ReSound Vivia hearing aids are programmed to your unique hearing loss profile, ensuring optimal sound clarity, comfort, and performance.

While over-the-counter hearing aids offer a one-size-fits-all approach, our professional fitting considers your specific ear anatomy, hearing loss characteristics, and listening environments. By using REM, we can make minute adjustments that generic programming cannot achieve, resulting in a more natural listening experience that helps you better understand speech, reduce listening fatigue, and reconnect with the sounds of your life.

Our audiologists don't just fit a device; we provide a comprehensive hearing healthcare solution that adapts to your individual needs, ensuring you get the most benefit from your advanced ReSound Vivia hearing technology.
