ReSound Vivia

Our brain is the most powerful processor, and it’s naturally good at filtering sound, so people can tune into what they want. When challenged with hearing loss, the brain does not receive the right input to take advantage of this natural ability.

With Intelligence Augmented, we combine the processing power of the brain with AI to augment what people already are naturally good at, so when they need the added help, their brain can continue its natural processing.

This is the next evolution in our Organic Hearing Philosophy, which you can read more about.

ReSound Vivia provides great hearing in noise using our new Deep Neural Network (DNN) chip trained on real-life sounds and scenarios, but what is DNN?

DNN is a special class of Artificial Intelligence where an advanced algorithm structure, that resembles the brain’s network, learns how to do a task through repeated exposure to relevant situations - in this case balancing the sound scene. 

Our new chip is trained for real life on 13.5 million spoken sentences, so it can work across 3.9 million tuned sound parameters and perform 4.9 trillion operations per day⁷. In practice, when your patients need a little extra support, they can activate Intelligent Focus, which spotlights speech and provides contrast to unwanted noise for outstanding sound and focus on the sounds of choice.

Increased vividness with accessories: ReSound Vivia can be enjoyed even more when paired with the Auracast enabled TV-Streamer+ and Multi-Mic+

The TV-Streamer+ provides an improvement of up to 56% in speech recognition when listening to the TV via the TV-Streamer+ compared to listening via the TV speakers⁸, and the Multi-Mic+ provides a -16dB SNR which is a 7.7dB SNR improvement to hearing in noise compared to our leading 4-mic beamformer technology!⁹
