Resound Vivia 9

Hello everyone,

A month ago, I bought a ReSound Vivia 9 (battery version) as a backup for my ReSound One 9 (sometimes it’s good to have a backup in case it breaks and repairs take time; at least I have one and don’t stress).

I’m struggling a bit with the and frequencies. I’m attaching two photos (one of the ReSound One 9 and one of the ReSound Vivia 9). I tried to copy the audiogram from the ReSound One to the ReSound Vivia, but the sounds are not the ones I was used to, and I don’t know why. Could it be because the two models use different technologies?

The issue started after I installed Smart Fit 2.2. With the ReSound Vivia 9, it shows the audiogram adjusted by the audiologist (by the way, I bought a new laptop to adjust the hearing aids because the old one was a bit unstable). But when I try to connect the ReSound One 9, it does not show the audiogram I had created and saved on the old laptop. Why is that?

Also, could you please explain the difference between the three lines: 80 , 65 dB, and 50 dB, and the frequencies? I would like to understand better.

I mention that I have severe hearing loss and I’ve been used to high frequencies all my life. Before, when I wore the ReSound One (see attached audiogram photo), conversations were excellent, music as well. Now it’s not what it used to be.

Maybe you have some ideas and I can get inspired by you. I’m still adjusting until I get the most natural and comfortable sound possible, clear speech understanding, and good noise separation.

Thank you very much and wishing you all the best! God bless!

Hi everyone!
I managed to take the from ReSound ONE and manually apply it to ReSound Vivia 9. I adjusted the frequencies step by step to make them as close as possible to ReSound ONE.

However, the sound is different, probably due to a different processing algorithm. Overall, it’s okay, but when I speak, when several people are talking, or when I watch TV or Netflix, the “sh” sound is very pronounced. Also, sometimes when I hear high-pitched sounds, they get interrupted or distorted.

Do you have any idea which frequencies I should adjust?

And one more question: is it possible to modify the frequencies in order to widen the listening area, so I can better hear what’s happening around me, including sounds from a greater distance?

Thank you very much for your help!

I tried using the same original fitting formula from ReSound One on ReSound Vivia, and I manually adjusted the frequencies step by step, but the sound is still distorted. Vivia uses a different algorithm, and I can’t make it sound like One :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:.

Which formula is that, I’d change it on the Viva just to see if you can reduce the distortion,be sure your using the same acoustics, if it doesn’t help then another possibility is to use the next power receiver, post your if possible as this would help.

are both set to adult … You could try + or NAL NL2 and see if you like one of them.

I find that NAL NL2 works best for me.

Hi! I tried the formula and I didn’t like it because it sounds closed and slow to me. I need a wider, more open, clear, and clean sound so I can hear everything happening around me and understand what a person is saying from a distance.

Hello,

I have further adjusted the 4 kHz and 6 kHz frequencies to 65 in order to eliminate sound dropouts when a person is speaking or when distortion occurs.
What do you think? Do you believe this was the correct approach?

Hello everyone! After making some adjustments I managed to eliminate the distortion, but now when I listen to music or when someone is speaking, the high frequencies sometimes cut out for a fraction of a second. Why could this be happening? When I had ReSound One, it didn’t sound like this. Now I have ReSound Vivia 9, and I’m thinking about reducing 0.5 at 65 dB on the 8 kHz frequency. What do you think? Thank you!
