I am very interested in the new Costco Jabra Enhance Pro 30 (now officially advertised in the US), but I am concerned about the reviews for the ReSound Vivia.
I haven’t read a lot of positive press, and some of the testing has been quite poor, especially for speach in noise.
I would be interested in any feedback about these hearing aids as I am intrigued by the idea of such a small form factor and extended battery life with an additional AI chip.
Well I tried them for only a short period, and everything was fine but I felt underwhelmed with the noise program, like I didn’t notice a “wow factor” ReSound is a favourite of mine and I feel with more adjustments I could get them sounding how I like things, I compared them to the Ones I have.
With Costco’s refund policy of 180 days, why wouldn’t you try them if you are interested in them.
At worse, you are out your time and the cost of a membership. However, isn’t the membership refundable too?
There have been some positive reviews too. But the best test is your own ears.
When I buy, I tend to buy to keep.
I am interested in feedback from others who have actually tried the ReSound Vivias (or Jabra Enhance Pro 30) and perhaps had a more positive experience than the testing results show.
With compelling AI options available from Phonak, Oticon, and Starkey, are these are a less impressive alternative that should be skipped?
Well no, no one can possibly tell you which ones are better, only you could know this by trialing them, I mean all options are on the table, hopefully I didn’t put you off 
I wouldn’t take the testing that was done under a certain test procedure as being relevant to everyone’s hearing response. So the test results may be interesting, don’t let the tail wag the dog.
As such, I think one’s own ears makes more sense to me, since there are a number of variables.
Also folks who have issues are more likely to seek help. Those who don’t find other uses for their time. On top of that, we have no way of knowing the number of folks who have bought these two hearing aids that have issues, and how many you don’t have issues.
Anyhow the Jabra 30 just came out, so you should get more feedback over the next few months.
Got my Jabra Pro 30s yesterday. Wore them today for 9 hrs.
Batteries started at 100%, ended at approximately 80%
Thank you for this information.
Once you have had a chance to further evaluate these aids, please provide an update.
Also, my understanding is that you must manually activate the AI speech in noise chip - is this correct?
How do these hearing aids sound in a noisy environment?
These are basically my first hearing aids, I am not going to be a good source of comparative evaluation. I have gone through the Jabra stock user software on my Android phone, and can find no “AI speech in noise chip” on/off settings or adjustments. There might be something in the Smartfit audiologist software. I will take a look there once I have some time on these and am ready to make further adjustments.
The audiologist have to add the “hear in noise” Programm, if this program is missing.
And the hearing aid user must manually switch to the program “hear in noise” to access/activate the DNN noise reduction feature.
