Access to premium technology without the upfront cost
The ReSound Vivia 9 is a top-of-the-line hearing aid from the Danish hearing aid manufacturer, GN ReSound.
ReSound Vivia is designed to deliver exceptional speech-in-noise performance while maintaining a discreet design and long-lasting battery life.
The key features available in the ReSound Vivia 9 include:
- The world’s smallest AI-powered hearing aid, making conversations clearer and listening more effortless.
- The world’s first hearing aid to support Auracast™, giving you future-proof, crystal-clear connectivity.
- Upgraded Intelligent Focus system, which prioritises speech based on where the user is looking.
- Auracast™ and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio, allowing you to connect your hearing aids to your phone, TV and other supported devices.

- Built-in Tinnitus Sound Generator (TSG) for personalised tinnitus management.
- Modern, discreet and comfortable design, available in multiple colours to suit your preferences.
Intelligence Augmented™ (IA)
One of the standout features of ReSound Vivia is its use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Intelligence Augmented™ (IA) is a human approach to AI that enhances your brain’s natural ability to process sound and distinguish speech from unwanted background noise. For example, if you’re having coffee with friends at a busy café, ReSound Vivia 9 hearing aids can identify the voices you want to hear while reducing distracting sounds around you, such as clattering dishes, traffic, or the hum of the coffee machine.
Bluetooth Streaming and Wireless Connectivity
ReSound Vivia uses the latest Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE), allowing you to connect your hearing aids to your TV and compatible iOS and Android devices. It is also the world’s first Auracast-enabled hearing aid, giving you future-proof, crystal-clear connectivity.
Hands-free calling is available on iPhone 11 or newer devices using iOS 18 or later. Wireless streaming and remote control features may vary depending on your device. Visit GN ReSound’s compatibility page for more information.
How much does the ReSound Vivia 9 hearing aid cost in New Zealand?
One of the barriers many New Zealanders face when considering hearing aids is the high upfront cost. When purchased outright, a pair of top-of-the-range hearing aids, like ReSound Vivia 9s, can cost up to $10,000. However, we believe everyone should have access to premium hearing care, regardless of their financial position.

Is the Vivia 9 right for you?
Hearing loss often develops gradually, which makes it easy to dismiss. But if you’ve noticed conversations are becoming harder to follow, early action can make a significant difference to your quality of life. Resonate’s Ear360 assessment looks at more than just the sounds you can hear; it also explores how your hearing impacts other areas of your life, such as tinnitus, sleep, memory, and balance. After your appointment, our team will explain your results, discuss the options available to you, and help you decide whether the ReSound Vivia 9 is a good fit for your individual needs and lifestyle.
There’s no obligation to subscribe after your assessment; it’s simply the starting point for understanding your options. Call 0800 737 662 or find your nearest studio at resonatehealth.co.nz.

Resonate. The Podcast
Hello! I’m Clara. After 24 years of practising audiology in New Zealand, I still think of myself as a young lady – chatty, curious and loving a good belly laugh. I was born in Zimbabwe 53 years ago and grew up in that wild and lovely country with my two sisters and two brothers. I came to New Zealand in 2002 and settled in Tauranga, where I joined the community choir and enrolled in the local library to enjoy my two life loves: music and reading.
