ReSound Vivia

Yes, but it depends on the phone you use. ReSound Vivia hearing aids support true hands-free calling for iPhone users with an iPhone 11 or newer running iOS 15.3 or later. In this case, both the caller’s voice and your voice are handled directly through the hearing aids, with no need to hold the phone or use any accessories. Android users can stream phone calls to the hearing aids so they can hear the caller, but hands-free calling is not currently supported. In the past, this required the ReSound Phone Clip+ accessory. As of December 31, 2025, ReSound has discontinued the Phone Clip+, which means Android users currently have no way to make fully hands-free phone calls with these hearing aids. ReSound is expected to announce a replacement accessory, but until then, full hands-free calling is only available for iPhone users.

Maybe, but it depends on your TV's Bluetooth version and whether your TV has Auracast. Vivia hearing aids have Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio and Auracast, which means they can connect directly to devices that also use Bluetooth LE Audio (Bluetooth 5.3 or later). However, most TVs do not yet support Bluetooth LE Audio. To stream TV audio to your hearing aids, you will most likely need the ReSound TV Streamer+ (more info in the Apps/Accessories section of this page), which connects to your TV and transmits sound directly to your hearing aids via Auracast or Bluetooth LE Audio. Check your TV's Bluetooth specifications, and if it lacks LE Audio, using the TV Streamer+ is your best option.

Yes, ReSound Vivia hearing aids are Bluetooth compatible. They use Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio and Auracast, allowing for direct streaming from Apple (MFi) and Android (ASHA) devices. Auracast support allows users to connect to public audio broadcasts in places like airports and theaters, but note that this is an early technology and there are very few auracast broadcasters installed in venues. For full Bluetooth and Auracast functionality, your device must support Bluetooth LE Audio (5.3 or later)—check ReSound’s compatibility list or confirm your phone's Bluetooth version to ensure compatibility.

It really depends on how you use it. It can last up to 30 hours on a single charge if you're not doing any Bluetooth streaming and don't have the DNN/AI "Intelligent Focus" feature (available on the '9' model), turned on. If you're Bluetooth streaming for a few hours a day, and have the DNN/AI features turned on for a few hours a day, expect around 20 hours of battery life.

All rechargeable li-ion hearing aid batteries last anywhere from about 3-5 years, and your first replacement is covered by your hearing aid warranty, provided its within the 3 year warranty period.

You can determine when your hearing aid batteries need to be charged based on the beep/tone indicators and LED indicators provided in the user guide:

If your hearing aid has been fully charged the night before, this is really unlikely to happen, as even with heavy Bluetooth streaming and use of advanced AI features, your Vivia hearing aids should still last 20 hours. If your battery dies and you happen to have your Standard charger with you, a quick charge of 30 minutes can provide up to 8 hours of power. If your battery routinely dies while you still want to use the hearing aids, you may want to purchase the Premium charger.That charger stores 3 full days of charges, allowing you to pull reserve power from it in case you don't have access to electricity.

Vivia hearing aids take about 3 hours for a full charge, and that'll provide 20-30 hours of use.
