ReSound Vivia RIE 61 Hearing Aids
ReSound Vivia RIE 61 combines advanced hearing-in-noise technology, disposable-battery convenience and modern wireless connectivity in a discreet receiver-in-ear design. It automatically adapts to changing surroundings to help make conversations clearer while preserving awareness of the sounds around you.
Clearer conversations in noise
ReSound Vivia continuously analyses the listening environment and adjusts its speech, directional and noise-management settings automatically.
The premium Vivia 9 RIE 61 includes Clear Focus, which creates a narrow listening beam towards speech in front of you while reducing competing sounds from other directions. This provides additional support during one-to-one conversations in restaurants, social gatherings and other difficult listening situations.
Vivia 7 and Vivia 5 retain ReSound’s core speech and noise-management technology, with progressively fewer processing channels and adjustment options.
Natural direction and spatial awareness
Vivia RIE 61 can be fitted with standard LP, MP, HP or UP receivers to support a broad range of hearing needs.
It is also compatible with ReSound’s optional M&RIE receiver. M&RIE adds a third microphone inside the ear canal, allowing the hearing aid to use the natural shape of your outer ear when collecting sound. This can support more natural direction, depth and spatial awareness.
Disposable battery convenience
The RIE 61 uses a replaceable size 312 zinc-air battery. This makes it suitable for people who prefer replacing batteries rather than charging their hearing aids each night.
Battery life will vary depending on hearing needs, receiver strength, streaming time, enabled features and the brand and quality of the batteries used.

Auracast™ broadcast audio support allows Vivia to connect to compatible public and private audio broadcasts. The Auracast Assistant inside the ReSound Smart 3D app helps locate and connect to available streams.

Built for everyday wear
Vivia RIE 61 has an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, with protective nanocoating applied to its components.
This provides protection against perspiration, rain and everyday moisture. The hearing aids are not waterproof and should be removed before swimming or showering.
Three performance levels
ReSound Vivia RIE 61 is available in Vivia 5, Vivia 7 and Vivia 9.
Vivia 5 provides the essential Vivia sound, streaming and automatic adjustment features for everyday listening.
Vivia 7 adds more detailed environmental processing and stronger control of wind, background noise and sudden sounds.
Vivia 9 offers the highest processing level, Clear Focus and the most advanced automatic support for complex and frequently changing listening situations.

Outstanding after-sale support
I 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.

Every issue solved without dispute
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.
