Frequently asked questions about the ReSound Vivia RIE
How much does the ReSound Vivia RIE cost? +
There is no single price for the ReSound Vivia RIE. It is fitted and sold by licensed providers who set their own fees, so the same model can differ by thousands of dollars between two clinics in one city, and the technology level moves it further still.

What technology levels is the ReSound Vivia RIE available in? +
The ReSound Vivia RIE is sold in 4 technology levels: 9, 7, 5, 4. The housing and the physical style are identical across them; what changes is how much the hearing aid does for you automatically in difficult listening, above all separating speech from background noise. That is where most of the price difference between two quotes for the same model comes from, so it is worth asking which level you are being offered rather than only which model.
