Resound Omnia 5 Hearing Aids Including MiniRIE / RIE 61 R / RIE 61 / RIE 62 / BTE / Power BTE / Custom Models

Resound Omnia 5 Hearing Aids Overview

March 2023: Resound introduced their brand new Omnia BTEs and custom-made styles (including two rechargeable options).

An introduction to Resound Omnia 5 hearing aids

Resound Omnia hearing aids launched in September 2022 and the Resound Omnia 5 hearing aids come in an array of colours and provide Bluetooth streaming for both Android and iPhone and new hands-free calling on Apple devices.  There are two traditional battery offerings and one rechargeable hearing aid model - giving you 30 hours of power on one single charge.

Listen better in noise with Resound Omnia 5 hearing aids

There is a clear focus on improving the wearer's listening experience in the most challenging background noises. Omnia also has some improvements two years after the Resound ONE hearing aids range.  These are:

• They have improved their sound environment using their 360 All Around technology.
• They have made their processing faster for better selection and detection.
• They have narrowed their beamforming for more speech clarity in all listening environments.
• There is also hands-free calling for both iPhones and iPads available.
• Own voice perception gets an upgrade too.

What does all the above do for your hearing? It is said that Omnia, gives you automatic focus on what you want to tune into or listen to. This means you have full control of how you want to hear and not your hearing aids.

Previous Resound hearing aids did a pretty good job of making speech clear in noisy environments, but there could be times when loud sounds from behind or at the side would distort the soundscape. With Omnia, it's all about the background noise.

Comparing the Resound Omnia 5 hearing aids with the ONE 5 - What hasn't changed since Resound ONE?

The design wasn't reinvented for Omnia it is the same as the Resound ONE. The ONE shape was liked by many, so I'm sure that consumers will be glad there was no redesign for this new product. The second is that the Resound app has stayed the same, but they did add a new feature - Check My Fit. More on that later.

Finally, they continued with the M&RIE receiver.

The technology of Resound Omnia 5 hearing aids

As you can see Omnia is the same shape as the Resound ONE, but with some new beneficial features.  Such as a better Ultra Focus, which is a feature that allows the wearer to switch listening focus to someone who is in front of them.  There is also a new algorithm that helps to reduce the volume of your own voice.

But, the highlight of this product is the speech in noise improvements, which are said to be around 150% with their Organic Hearing concept.  It might be a posh name, but what it actually means is that the hearing aids sound natural, feel natural, and connect to your world in a natural way. 

When the brand researched how important hearing in background noise was to people, 80% said it was - so I guess they had to do something to tackle this common hurdle.  Therefore, this was Omnia's main focus point.  However, in reality, the 150% improvement they are referring to is when compared to their legacy products, such as LiNX 3D.  

That being said, hearing aid wearers who have worn the latest Resound offerings enjoy the natural sound, so they must be doing something right!

Resound Omnia 5 hearing aids include the new Check My Fit feature

The Check My Fit feature is a great tool to ensure that your hearing aids are in correctly - especially when you are a new hearing aid wearer.  Like Widex Moment Sheer, which focuses on the "first-fit" experience element of hearing aids, this feature will hopefully eradicate uncertainty.  How can this help you?  Using this feature will help you to always benefit from the best hearing experience. 

We think this feature will be a good reminder in those first few weeks of wearing and adjusting to new hearing aids. Giving you the confidence you need.

Resound Omnia 5 hearing aids main features and benefits:

What features do you lose in the Resound Omnia 5 hearing aids, when compared to the 9?

Resound Omnia 5 hearing aids are the budget or entry-price device of this range, therefore it has all the essential features you will need.  Such as Bluetooth and clear sound.  However, this performance level doesn't have the unique M&RIE microphone. 

But, if you are someone who spends time in small groups or at home, this level will give you what you need on a budget.
