Excellent in Noisy Situations
Summary: Nick reviews the Resound Nexia 9 hearing aids, emphasizing his positive experience. He highlights the necessity of hearing aids for his mild sensorineural hearing loss, particularly in noisy environments. The Resound Nexia aids stand out for their advanced technology, including environmental recognition and direct audio streaming, with seamless iPhone connectivity and limited Android compatibility. Nick's real-world testing in New York City proves the hearing aids' effectiveness in reducing background noise while maintaining clear communication. He praises the Resound smart 3D phone app and watch app for their user-friendly interfaces. Despite minor issues like the bulky charging case and limited button functionality, Nick highly recommends the Nexia 9 for their exceptional noise reduction and battery life, deeming them life-changing and worth considering for anyone with hearing loss.

ReSound Nexia allows for hands-free calls with iPhones, and with iPhone 11 and higher, and Samsung Galaxy S23 with Android version 14 and higher. If you use any other phone, you'll need to purchase the ReSound Phone Clip + accessory and keep it clipped to your shirt collar or worn around your neck during calls, so the caller can you hear via the microphone on that accessory. A new feature for Nexia is called "tap control", and if you buy the Nexia microRIE model, you can answer phone calls by simply double-tapping on your ear.
All Nexia hearing aids (except the CIC style) are Made for iPhone, which means they can connect directly with iPhones to stream music, phone calls, and more. Nexia is also compatible with the new Android protocol, Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA), allowing direct streaming from select Android devices with Android 10 and Bluetooth 5.0. If your phone isn't directly compatible with Nexia, you can still get Bluetooth functionality via the Phone Clip +. In addition, ReSound Nexia hearing aids are ready for the future Bluetooth LE Audio standard and Auracast™.
The 312 battery should last about 5 days. If you stream heavily, it could be a little less. Expect a few days extra from the 13 battery. The CIC model which uses a size 10 battery may last as little as 3-4 days.
For most people, no. But if you're concerned about this, we'd recommend getting the RIE 62 version, which uses a 13 battery that'll be easier to change than the 312. Or, just get the rechargeable model so you don't have to bother changing batteries. The CIC model which uses a small size 10 battery is difficult for some people to change.
Using either the push-button on the hearing aid, or either of ReSound's (2) remote controls, you can adjust the volume and program. Using the app, you can control volume, program, and base and treble. On the ITC and ITE model, the push-button is able to control the program, volume, and start/stop streaming. On the CIC model, the push-button (optional) can control either the volume or program. Please note the CIC model is completely non-wireless and does not work with Bluetooth, so the only way to control any settings on the CIC model is with the push button.
Yes, but in order for it to work your hearing aids must've been paired to your phone before they were lost. The app will show where the hearing aids were located when they were last connected to the app, and what time it was. The CIC model is non-wireless and doesn't interace with the ReSound app, so this feature is not available.
The Nexia CROS (shown above), is compatible with the micro RIE, RIE 61, and RIE 62 models.
The following models come with a telecoil: RIE 62, BTE 77, BTE 88

KEY FEATURES
1. Dome
The dome slips over and encloses/protects the receiver/speaker. Domes are made with medical-grade silicone. They come in different shapes and sizes—your hearing care professional will help you pick the right size and style. Selecting the appropriate dome will change the sound performance of your hearing aids, so if you’re not achieving satisfying results with your hearing aids, your hearing provider will often consider trying a different dome style. In some cases, such as for wearers with severe or profound hearing loss, an earmold will be used instead of a dome.
2. Indicator light
The LED indicator light shows the charging state of the battery. Light blinks slowly during charging. When fully charged, the light remains constant, not blinking.
3. Microphone
The microphone picks up the sound from the environment and sends it into the hearing aid for processing. You’ll mostly want to leave the microphone alone, but periodically check it to ensure it’s not being plugged up by hair care products or oils.
4. Receiver
The receiver AKA speaker delivers the sound into the ear. ReSound receivers are available in 4 different strengths, low power (LP), medium power (MP), high power (HP), and ultra power (UP). Optional M&RIE receiver (as shown) features a built-in microphone for improved localization of sound, available in an LP strength only. Your ZipHearing provider will help you determine the appropriate gain (strength/power) receiver based on the results of your hearing test. Expect to have to replace your receivers every year or so, and this is something that usually takes just a few minutes with your local ZipHearing provider.
5. Receiver wire
This thin, plastic-coated wire transmits power and signals to the receiver/speaker, which is worn inside the ear. ReSound receivers are available in 5 different lengths: 1,2,3 & 4. Your ZipHearing provider will help you determine the appropriate length of receiver wire, by measuring your ear. In cases when your ZipHearing provider is unsure of the exact receiver length that will work best for you, we’re happy to send out a few different receiver lengths for you to try.
6. Rechargeable or disposable batteries
The model shown is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, expected to last 24-30 hours/day. The battery takes about 3 hours to fully charge, and a 30 minute quick charge will get you about 6 hours of power. Most people do buy the rechargeable model, and simply put the aids in a charger next to their bed at night, allowing them to wake up with fully charged hearing aids. Other models shown on this page (below) can be powered by a disposable size 312, 13, or 10 battery. These disposable batteries will last anywhere from 3-10 days, depending on how much Bluetooth streaming you do. Your purchase from ZipHearing includes a 1 year supply of disposable batteries.
7. Push button
The push button can be programmed by your hearing provider to control either the volume, program, and with iPhone 11 or newer, it can start/stop streaming and answer/end phone calls. In addition, a long press and hold turns the hearing aid off. Some people use this exclusively to control the hearing aids, and others use the app to control the hearing aids. Others (most people), use a combination of both the app and push button to make adjustments to their hearing aids. You likely won’t have to use this button often, but some people find them handy to make quick adjustments to their hearing aids when they change listening environments (ie, entering a noisy restaurant, or a quiet room). Your hearing provider will go over the options available and make sure your hearing aids are set up to your ideal preferences.
8. Water resistant
Nexia has an IP68 rating, with nanocoating on all components, meaning it’s protected from dust getting inside and can withstand exposure to water, though caution around water is highly recommended.
9. Dome
The dome slips over and encloses/protects the receiver/speaker. Domes are made with medical-grade silicone. They come in different shapes and sizes—your hearing care professional will help you pick the right size and style. Selecting the appropriate dome will change the sound performance of your hearing aids, so if you’re not achieving satisfying results with your hearing aids, your hearing provider will often consider trying a different dome style. In some cases, such as for wearers with severe or profound hearing loss, an earmold will be used instead of a dome.
10. Indicator light
The LED indicator light shows the charging state of the battery. Light blinks slowly during charging. When fully charged, the light remains constant, not blinking.
11. Microphone
The microphone picks up the sound from the environment and sends it into the hearing aid for processing. You’ll mostly want to leave the microphone alone, but periodically check it to ensure it’s not being plugged up by hair care products or oils.
