Advanced Features of Resound Nexia for Better Hearing

The ReSound Nexia represents a significant step forward in hearing aid technology. As audiologists committed to providing our patients with the best hearing solutions, we're excited to share how the Nexia's features can help improve your hearing experience.

What Makes the Nexia Different

The Nexia introduces several technological innovations that set it apart. Most notably, it is the first hearing aid to incorporate Bluetooth LE 5.2 and Auracast broadcast audio technology. This means that in the future, you'll be able to connect directly to audio broadcasts in places like theaters, houses of worship, airports, and other public venues.

The Nexia is available in four different Receiver-in-Ear (RIE) styles to accommodate various hearing needs and preferences. The Nexia Micro RIE model is particularly noteworthy, being 25% smaller than standard RIEs while maintaining full functionality and battery life. This model works well for mild to profound hearing losses and includes convenient features like tap controls for hands-free audio streaming with iPhones and iPads.

Advanced Sound Processing for Real-Life Situations

The ReSound Nexia's sophisticated sound processing helps you stay connected in all your daily activities. Whether you're enjoying dinner with family, attending a book club, or walking through a park with friends, these hearing aids adapt to help you hear what matters most.

The 360 All-Around Processing analyzes your entire sound environment, helping you participate fully in group conversations. You'll be able to hear someone speaking from behind you at a family gathering or catch a question from across the table during meals with friends. This technology helps reduce the mental fatigue that often comes from straining to hear in complex listening situations.

FrontFocus technology gives you control over your listening experience. When you're in a noisy restaurant or café, this feature helps you focus on the conversation with your dining companion while reducing distracting background sounds. Many of our patients report feeling more confident in social situations, knowing they can better manage challenging listening environments.

The M&RIE receiver technology places a third microphone near your ear canal, working with your ear's natural shape to provide more authentic sound quality. This means you'll better recognize where sounds are coming from, making it easier to locate approaching vehicles while walking or identify which family member is calling you from another room.

Long-lasting Power for Your Active Life

The Nexia's advanced battery technology keeps up with your schedule:

• A single charge provides nearly 24 hours of use
• Even with streaming music or phone calls for half your day, you'll get 20 hours of power
• Quick charging gives you several hours of use in just minutes

This reliable battery performance means you can confidently attend full-day events, travel, or enjoy extended outings without worrying about your hearing aids. Many of our patients appreciate being able to charge their devices overnight, just like their smartphones, and know they're ready for whatever the day brings.

Seamless Connectivity for Modern Living

Today's world requires us to stay connected, and the Nexia makes this easier than ever:

Direct Smartphone Connection: Answer calls by simply tapping your hearing aid - no need to remove your phone from your pocket or purse. This hands-free capability is particularly helpful when cooking, gardening, or carrying groceries.

Audio Streaming: Listen to your favorite audiobooks, music, or podcasts directly through your hearing aids. The sound quality is excellent, and you can adjust the volume to your preference without disturbing others.

Smart App Control: The ReSound Smart 3D app puts control at your fingertips. Create custom settings for your frequent locations - whether it's your local coffee shop, exercise class, or place of worship. The app remembers these settings and automatically adjusts when you return to these places.

Remote Care Options: Need a quick adjustment? We can often make programming changes through the app, saving you a trip to our office. This feature is especially valuable for our busy patients or those who travel frequently.

Our patients particularly appreciate how these connectivity features help them maintain independence and stay engaged with their interests and loved ones. Whether it's participating in video calls with grandchildren, enjoying music during daily walks, or easily managing phone calls throughout the day, the Nexia helps you stay connected to what matters most.

Future-Ready Technology

One of the most exciting aspects of the Nexia is its readiness for future audio innovations. While Auracast technology is still being implemented in public spaces, having this capability means your hearing aids will be prepared when venues begin offering this feature. In the meantime, you can still benefit from traditional telecoil technology in places where it's available.

Durability and Protection

The Nexia is built to last, featuring:

• IP68 rating for dust and water resistance
• Ability to withstand submersion in water for up to 60 minutes
• Protection against dust exposure for up to 8 hours

This durability means you can wear your hearing aids confidently in various weather conditions and environments.

Customization Options

The Nexia can be tailored to meet your specific needs through:

• Different receiver power levels to match your hearing loss 
• Various dome sizes and styles for optimal comfort and sound delivery 
• Multiple program settings for different listening environments 
• Tinnitus management features 
• Volume and program controls through the physical device or app
