Phonak vs Resound in restaurants

Has anyone tried both the latest Phonak and Resound models in restaurants and decided which brand was better?
Thanks

What specific models?

Phonak Audéo Sphere Infinio and Resound savi or vivia

Resound seems to have much more adjustments within the software compared to the Phonak software.

Found that quite interesting.

Doesn’t mean that Resound is better then Phonak tho, it was just an observation.

I haven’t tried the Phonak. So I can’t answer your question.

But I am commenting because the Vivias and Savis are not at all equivalent. The only Vivia with the new dense neural network AI chip is the Vivia 9 rechargeable. In choosing a Vivia to trial, you need to know that if speech in noise is a major consideration for you.

I haven’t heard of anyone trying the Savi. It’s a more entry level range I understand, so not Resound’s best hearing aids at all.

Tried the reSound Vivia in a packed restaurant last week. Could hear my wife perfectly. Its been a long time since that happened.

And this was on the normal setting, no adjustments needed.
