Resound Nexia continuous issues

It looks like the new Vivia and Savi both have external microphone filters and thankfully they’re user exchangeable. Better than nothing, if anything it means one can be more confident when working out with them.

I know this is an old topic, but I have Resound Nexia 7’s and ever since my audiologist switched out the external case for the new design with microphone filter, it is very sensitive to moisture and regularly shuts down. The only solution is to put the aids in a dryer for a few hours. I first got the Nexias in November and this was not an issue before the switch

I’m currently using the ReSound Vivia from Omnia. I’ve noticed the same issue with clogged microphone, the same thing that happened with the Quattro. Honestly, I’m glad I skipped over the Nexia. Right now, I’m pairing it with the Nucleus 8 sound processor but it has drawback, Bluetooth streaming support is lacking because cochlear hasn’t added support for bluetooth bimodal streaming for the vivia

My 8 months old Jabra Pro20 (Jabra Enhance Pro 20 RIE (RIC)) was having major low volume issues that was progressively getting worse. Costco changed the upper body section of HA to a two-mic hole version and these have the replaceable mic filters (see above video). Costco gave me a kit to change them that works much like the receiver wax filter kit. So far so good.

Will change them every three months. Have no M&RIE, use very low temperature dryer and brush aids nightly. Moisture/water was not this issue but does occur under some conditions, even in a dry climate. More of my related information.

When it was being reinsured and I had to use my old hearing aid I had no problems for the 2 weeks but of course I couldn’t steam.

@Bimodal_user uses a Phonak Sphere with his N8. Maybe he can add some info to this.

For now I don't have much time, I will respond later, but you may look into my previous post in another topics about my though about Resound hearing aids for bimodal setup.

Inserting your audiogram in your profile settings would be helpful to provide you better advices.
