ReSound Vivia vs Nexia: Quick Answer
ReSound Vivia and ReSound Nexia are priced exactly the same in India across every matching technology tier ā from ā¹89,995 to ā¹8,89,995 ā and both run on ReSound’s same deep neural network (DNN) AI chip. The real difference isn’t price or core technology, it’s shape availability: Nexia is offered in MicroRIE, custom ITC/CIC/IIC, and BTE shapes, while Vivia is currently available only as a MicroRIE (RIE) receiver-in-canal device. If you need a custom in-ear or BTE fit, Nexia is your only option between the two.
What Is ReSound Vivia?
ReSound Vivia is GN Hearing’s AI-powered MicroRIE platform, built around a DNN sound processing chip trained on 13.5 million spoken sentences, performing 4.9 trillion operations per day. It’s available in four technology tiers ā Vivia 9, 7, 5 and 4 ā as a rechargeable MicroRIE, a non-rechargeable RIE, or a CROS system for single-sided deafness. See the full ReSound Vivia Price List for complete model-wise pricing.
What Is ReSound Nexia?
ReSound Nexia uses the same DNN AI chip platform as Vivia, across the same four tiers (9, 7, 5, 4). The key difference is shape range: Nexia additionally offers custom ITC, CIC and IIC shells and a BTE option, giving buyers who want a fully in-ear or behind-the-ear fit more flexibility than Vivia currently provides. See the full ReSound Nexia 9 MicroRIE product page for pricing.

ReSound Vivia vs Nexia: Which Should You Choose?
If a MicroRIE (behind-the-ear receiver) fits your needs, either Vivia or Nexia works equally well ā the AI processing, channels, and pricing are identical, so the choice often comes down to which one your ClearSound audiologist has in stock or recommends based on your ear canal shape. If you need a custom in-ear (ITC/CIC/IIC) or BTE device, Nexia is the only option of the two. For a broader comparison across brands, see our Phonak Infinio vs Lumity guide.
