Excellent video Nick! I am an Oticon user for many years! Trial now in session with Lumity 90 but will try this Resound next! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching! I love hearing from viewers!
Fanatastic review. Great detail and very useful comments and explanations. As a Phonak Lumity 90 user I am pleased with the performance and selected them because I use a lot of technology and wanted the seamless / multi device bluetooth connectivity which they mainly deliver - minus a few issues - which may often be device / bluetooth / app specific. It will be interesting to see what Phonak release for their next gen devices given the recent releases from their competitors.
Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment! Believe me, I am also super excited to see what Phonak has up their sleeve for the next release!
Great video, thanks! Looking at upgrading my 2 year old Unitrons. Looks like I've found my next ones. One point, rechargeable batteries have a habit of lasting less time per charge over time. however, with the already surplus run-time these have, seems that won't be a problem.
You definitely have a point there, but like you said, with the battery life on these you probably won't have to charge them as frequently. Thanks for leaving a comment and be sure to check out the site to get all the info you can about your future hearing aids! www.ziphearing.com/resound-nexia?
Thanks Nick I have the Nexia 9 on order after wearing NHS (free issue) ones for years. Your video gives me confidence that I have made the correct choice.
Yes! I am so happy to hear that the video was able to add confidence to your choice! Be sure to subscribe so you can see more helpful content in the future! ua-cam.com/users/Ziphearing?sub_confirmaton=1
Great review.
Thanks for the great comment!
Nick, love your reviews, and I've seen em all. When you were walking the streets of NYC, I thought you were going to go Letterman on us, and start talking to strangers as you walked by them... haha. Perfect timing for me as I'm a first time hearing aid person and I am currently in a trial period with the Nexia 9. How does the "hearing in noise" function perform compared to your reviews of Phonak and Oticon? I just don't have that experience with the others. I still have some trouble hearing folks in loud restaurants but getting better with some recent tweaks by my audiologist. Also I have not experienced the issue you had with Music speeding up etc.. I have the aids connected to my iPhone and apple CarPlay, and it all works perfectly in the car with phone calls, etc.. However I don't have an Apple Watch in the mix. Also, I'm not streaming in the car, but rather just listen to music on the car speakers.
This is a great review, thank you! I have the same kind of hearing loss as you and I have the Resound One for 3 years now but they don't help much. My audiologist adjusted it several times but I still can't hear what I want to hear. She says that I am eligible for a new pair so I guess I may give Resound another chance after seeing your review. oh BTW, it is perfectly fine to jay walk in NYC. Every New Yorker does it all the time and if you don't, everyone knows you are a tourist.
Hahaha, thanks for the jay-walking support! Also, thank you for your support by watching the video and leaving a comment! I would recommend exploring different dome options, maybe a less open dome would help you out, it worked for me!
Hello Nick, I am a CI (Cochlear Implant) user in my right ear, and I will be getting either the ReSound Nexia 9, or 7. in my left ear. ReSound is the only brand comparable with the Cochlear Limited brand. So I can hear stream and control simultaneously out of both ears. I should be getting my new aids next week and I am so excited. I ran into your video and wanted a honest review of the ReSound brand. I never tried them before and yes you are quite right they are super expensive. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks for tuning into the video and leaving a comment! Hearing aids are, generally, quite a large investment. I always talk about the beginning of my hearing aid journey and how I found ZipHearing. They, without exaggeration, saved me thousands of dollars on my hearing aids! Make sure you subscribe to see more content coming up! ua-cam.com/users/Ziphearing?sub_confirmaton=1
Great review. What about cost? You talk about future technology, but other videos seems to put hearing aid life span at 4-5 years because of changing technology. Will audiocast be common place within that time?
Hey there! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I, unfortunately, do not have any foresight into the availability of auracast. We are both in the same boat when it comes to waiting to see how pervasive it will be. I actively try to avoid mentioning a specific cost in the videos because I don't want to say a price in the present time and then have it be different in the future and cause confusion. However, pricing and tech levels can always be found on the website at www.ziphearing.com/resound-nexia?
Awesome video so i have a question ReSound hearing aids how do they sound with the ear molds for both ears?
That is a great question! I cannot speak to the custom mold experience with the ReSound hearing aids, but I have custom molds for my Phonak Lumity's and the experience is dramatically better! The molds greatly increased my ability to hear in noise! Be sure to subscribe so you can check out future videos talking about some of these experiences! ua-cam.com/users/Ziphearing?sub_confirmaton=1
Thanks you, Nick. This is my 2nd of your reviews, the first was the Starkey Genesis AI 24. Question: Did you play your guitar while wearing these? You mentioned your guitar in the Genesis review. I’m a guitarist and totally depend on the music program on my old ReSound LiNX aids. The first time I played using std. program, I thought my guitar had a loose brace or something. It sounded terrible. Then I realized I wasn’t in music mode and switched modes. I need new aids but, since I play out professionally, the way acoustic instruments sound while I’m playing is extremely important. So, how did these sound while playing your guitar?
First of all, thank you watching the videos! Second, I certainly played guitar while wearing the hearing aids, it has become an integral part of testing them out! I can say that, in my experience, the Nexia's performed flawlessly. With other hearing aids I had encountered some issues where it seemed like the sound from the guitar was going in and out of phase, but not with the Nexia, and especially not in the music mode. The sound was quite natural!
@@Ziphearing Thank you, Nick. I don’t suppose I could talk you into reviewing the Widex Moment 440 aids, could I. It would sure be great to have a Widex review from a musician who also likes the Resound aids.
This video is excellent and timely for me in that the Nexia 9 is on my short list of new HA’s. (Starkly Genisis AI Ric and Resound Nexia 9) Three questions. Was a Real Ear measurement test performed when ytu received them? For the TV Streamer +, what connection did you use between the tv and the streamer? And would a different method like the Optical Sound connection have improved the sound quality? Thank you.
I have recently been fitted with Starkey Genesis AI and I'm on the verge of returning them and getting the Jabra Enhance pro 20 (which are the same as the Nexia 9). very disappointed with the bluetooth and there are a lot of quirks with the starkeys (won;t shut off after a phone call, changing programs randomly). I think they have a lot of quirks to work out with their AI software
thanks for your excellent review 👌 I’m currently testing Nexia 9s after long time useing Linx3D 9. I’ve encountered a reluctance with audio practitioners to install MREI receivers - currently testing with just REI as the practitioner did not have any MREI in stock. They 2 I visited both sited problems with wax build up around the microphone& feedback threshold reduction as reason not to use. Im frustrated as I’d really like to hear the difference between MREI & REI - I’m going to push to get MREI to test - any thoughts on this?
Thank you for the very well thought out comment! The only thing I can say here is that you are the consumer and your hearing and experience is paramount. If you want to try a certain device, you should! Also, routine cleaning and maintenance may prevent the wax build-up from being an issue. One more thing to remember is that ZipHearing has a risk-free trial for all of our hearing aids, so it may be worth giving us a chance to impress you!

I have a set on a trial basis from my hearing aid guy. Purpose was to try out the Auracast™ function. It worked OK with the TV Plus transmitter, but did not receive Auracast™ from an Auracast™ transmitter that I possess.. ReSound HQ then told my guy that the generalized Auracast™ capability would be added, presumably with a firmware update, later this year. As for music streaming, they are MUCH less desirable than ANY of my Phonaks: Marvel through Lumity. Even after adjusting (similar to Nick's experience), the music reproduction was still shrill. Furthermore, they do not pair with eight devices the way that Lumity does. On the plus side, though, I have not heard anything from Phonal about offering Auracast™ capability, and that's important to my retirement community. All-in-all, I would not (yet) exchange them for my Lumitys.
Hey Nick. Why dident u try the Unique thing with resound the M&RIE Receiver which would give the most natural sound on hearing aids?
I tried it. Didn't work, sounded terrible.
You seem to minimize the BT streaming issue. I’ve had Resounds for 10 years., currently Omnia. I like to stream music during workouts, walks, etc. I’ve NEVER got them to work well. Holding the iPhone (currently 14 pro) in my hand it works. As soon as I put in my pants pocket (any) it continually cuts out or works in only one ear intermittently. It’s been super annoying and forced me to use separate ear buds. It’s almost become a show stopper. Did you test this with Nexia? Was your experience similar. BTW, excellent video!
Thank you for the kind words! I understand it may be slightly aggravating to hear this but, I did not encounter the connectivity issue you are talking about. I am well aware that some devices will have those kinds of issues, but I was not able to replicate it while testing the Nexia. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Your issue is the same as mine. My original Resound are 5/6 years old and I had less issues. I tried the Omnia and it was worse than the old ones. I then tried the sister Jabra Enhace Pro 20 they were really bad. I’m now with the Nexia 9 and learning how best to manage BT. The other attributes are really good.
Devices compatible with Bluetooth LE Audio include the Google Pixel 7/8, Samsung Galaxy S23, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 smartphones.
How did you get a discount on the Starkey Signature Series Hearing Aids?
So, to clarify, when I talk about saving money on hearing aids through ZipHearing it is compared to the amount a person would be expected to pay if they were to purchase through an audiologist. The amount of savings will vary depending on a variety of reasons, but in general, one can expect to save quite a bit of money when using ZipHearing! Be sure to head over to the site to check out pricing! www.ziphearing.com/resound-nexia?
So Nick, youre an Orticon Intent owner from what i can see in a previous video and raved about it with its 4d etc so how does it compare to the Resound Nexia 9 and also in regards to quality of audio sound for richness in speech and for music .. thanks. That said I see Nick never answers questions. Hmmm
Hi there! I do not own the oticon intent, I actually own the Phonak Lumity 90! To answer your question about the comparison to the nexia 9, both are exceptional hearing aids that provide crystal clear audio signal. However, the 4D tech in the Oticon Intent was able to provide me with more directionality and perception when it came to identifying sound sources. Also, one last thing...I am now answering questions! Go check out one of our recent videos about my story and a BIG announcement! ua-cam.com/video/s7likC-Ds4A/v-deo.html?
@@Ziphearing awesome so would you swap for the intent or stay with the lumity
Thats a tough one.... Personally, I prefer the bluetooth connectivity on the Lumity. However, I think the tech in the Intent is a touch better than the Lumity for audio quality and perception of a sound's location. If money wasn't a factor, and I could just do a straight swap...I may go with the the Intent.
I don't think its right that they will connect to 'any' Mac desktop (4:17). MFi hearing aids won't connect directly to my 2019 iMac, for example, because it does not have an M1 or M2 chip.
That is a really good point! It certainly seems like I misspoke when I said "any", I really should have said "any Mac with an M-series chip". Thank you for the great input, I will try not to make the same error again!
So some hearing aid providers do Real Ear Measurements. Did they did that with you with the fittings?
Thanks for the great question! A real ear measurement was not used when fitting these hearing aids. However, the ReSound program used by the audiologist did run through a series of audio tests and measurements to determine proper settings and fit. I will be doing a video about this topic in the near future so be sure to subscribe! ua-cam.com/users/Ziphearing?sub_confirmaton=1
Wondering what the difference is between the jabra enhance pro 20s and these.
Thanks for the comment! I wish i had an answer for you, but I have ZERO experience with the Jabra HA's. You could always click over to the ZipHearing site to help with your search! www.ziphearing.com/resound-nexia?
I really wanted to like the nexia but the streaming audio quality was so bad.
Hey there! Just to get a better understanding for your comment, what are you comparing the streaming audio quality to? Are you comparing it to headphones or other hearing aids?
any fix to the bluetooth issue with apple and is anyone using android/windows devices and expirenced the bluetooth issue?
Hi there! Thanks for leaving us a comment! I am not too sure what "bluetooth issue" you are referring to in your question... can you tell me a little bit more about it?
@@Ziphearing the bluetooth issue reqaaurding the apple watch (like in video)
Unfortunately I've had terrible luck with my Resound Nexia 9. Five months so far and continued problems with BT connection for streaming music and phone (Samsung Galaxy s22 +). One hearing aid had to be sent back for repairs and now the other one is cutting in and out. Two different Audiologist have been working with me but looks like I wasted $5,000. Very disappointed especially after watching you and several other reviews of this hearing aid. Wished I would have went Phonak Lumity but was talked into this by my Audiologist
How is the Nexia 5 vs the Nexia 7?
Thanks for reaching out with your question! Unfortunately, I cannot provide any real-life experience regarding the difference between the 5 and 7 tech levels. I was only given the 9's to check out. However, head on over to the ZipHearing site and check out the differences in tech levels! www.ziphearing.com/resound-nexia?
