Update from day 5.
Pros:
I’m still thrilled with the quality of sound both in the “normal” and “noise” programs.
I went to my favorite steakhouse last night, which is also my absolute hardest place to hear and discern voices. I was able to carry on normal conversations using the noise program which is an absolute win!
Cons:
-
The android app is a little buggy. I’m running an Pixel 7. The HAs will drop connection to the app occasionally but still be connected to the phone via Bluetooth. This isn’t a huge issue, but causes a warning notification which is pesky.
-
This also happens when you put the HAs in the charger. The workaround is turning the HAs off prior to putting in the charger.
I suspect the app will get updated over time, or potentially the firmware on the HAs. But I can live with that for now.
Compared to my experience with the Phonak Sphere’s, this is night and day for me and my hearing profile (I’ll work on getting a graphic of it, but very steep from the mids to the highs.
I’m sure others might get other experiences between vendors, but I definitely encourage people to try the Resound Viva 9.
Get this, I don’t know what adjustments are needed at this point! Just go forth and enjoy the sounds.
