Everything you buy is backed by Lachlan Smith, our Senior Clinical Audiologist. Lachlan personally fits and fine-tunes every device, in clinic or online from the comfort of home, and looks after you long after it arrives.
ReSound Vivia combines advanced artificial intelligence, rechargeable convenience and next-generation wireless connectivity in an exceptionally compact receiver-in-ear design. Created to support natural hearing, Vivia helps make conversations clearer while preserving awareness of the sounds happening around you.
ReSound Vivia uses a DualChip system that combines ReSound’s natural sound-processing platform with a dedicated Deep Neural Network chip.
The AI system has been trained using real-world speech and environmental sounds to distinguish voices from competing noise. Rather than simply blocking everything around you, it is designed to increase the contrast between speech and distracting sounds, helping conversations remain clearer in restaurants, gatherings and other difficult environments.
Vivia 9 adds Intelligent Focus, ReSound’s most advanced AI-powered listening feature. It automatically identifies speech and noise and provides additional support when you need to concentrate on a conversation in a challenging environment.
The discreet microRIE hearing aid sits behind the ear, with a thin wire connecting to a receiver inside the ear canal.
A choice of standard receivers and optional M&RIE receivers allows your audiologist to tailor the fitting to your hearing needs. M&RIE places an additional microphone inside the ear canal, using the natural shape of your outer ear to support sound direction and spatial awareness.
ReSound Vivia microRIE provides up to 30 hours of use on one charge under ReSound testing conditions.
Battery life is approximately 20 hours when streaming for half the day or when frequently using Intelligent Focus. Actual performance will vary depending on hearing loss, receiver strength, streaming, enabled features, sound environments and battery age.
A standard desktop charger provides straightforward daily charging. An optional Premium Charger includes an integrated power bank capable of providing up to three additional full charges away from a power outlet.

Ask us a questionI purchased my hearing aid online late last year. I was a bit apprehensive about making such an important and expensive purchase without having the backup of a local clinic. I needn’t be worried.
Leigh Christensen, 3 months ago
I obtained a full auditory test from Lachlan after becoming quite dissatisfied with my previous specialist. New hearing aids were purchased and a series of small issues were effectively solved at short notice.
Bob Collins, 5 months ago
You will receive highly attentive professional service. This is my experience after 4 other audiologists. You will find Lachlan — the audiologist — is extremely patient and accommodating.
Mano Markovic, 3 months ago
Outstanding service again from Lachlan, looking after both my hearing needs and sight testing in one appointment. Nothing was too much trouble.
Payl Phillips, 5 months ago
