Resound Omnia 7 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 7 hearing aids

The Resound Omnia 7 hearing aids were introduced in September 2022, with the Resound Omnia 7 model positioned as a mid-range option, incorporating most of the features available within this range.

The Resound Omnia 7 hearing aids are available in a variety of colours and offer Bluetooth streaming compatibility for both Android and iPhone devices, as well as the new hands-free calling feature for Apple devices. There are two conventional battery options, along with a rechargeable model that provides up to 30 hours of use from a single charge.

Listen better in noise with Resound Omnia 7 hearing aids

The Omnia 7 hearing aids are designed with a strong emphasis on enhancing the wearer’s listening experience, particularly in the most challenging environments with high background noise. Since the launch of the Resound ONE hearing aids two years ago, the Omnia range has introduced several key improvements, including:

• Enhanced sound environment processing through their 360 All Around technology.
• Faster processing for more accurate selection and detection of sounds.
• More refined beamforming for improved speech clarity in all listening settings.
• Hands-free calling functionality for both iPhones and iPads.
• Upgraded own-voice perception for a more natural hearing experience.

So, what does all of this mean for your hearing? The Omnia range is designed to automatically focus on the sounds you want to hear, allowing you to control what you tune into, rather than the hearing aids deciding for you.

While previous Resound hearing aids were effective in making speech clearer in noisy settings, they could sometimes struggle with loud sounds coming from behind or on the sides, which would distort the sound. With the Omnia, however, the focus is on effectively managing background noise, ensuring a clearer and more balanced listening experience.

Comparing Resound Omnia 7 hearing aids with ONE 7 - 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 7 hearing aids

The Omnia 7 shares the same design as the Resound ONE, but it comes with a host of new and improved features. One notable addition is the enhanced Ultra Focus, which allows the wearer to focus their hearing on a person directly in front of them. There's also a new algorithm designed to reduce the volume of your own voice, making the listening experience more comfortable.

However, the standout feature of the Omnia 7 is its improvement in speech clarity amidst background noise. Thanks to their Organic Hearing concept, the speech-in-noise performance is said to have improved by around 150%. While the term "Organic Hearing" may sound sophisticated, it essentially means the hearing aids deliver a more natural sound, feel comfortable, and integrate seamlessly into your everyday environment.

In research, 80% of respondents highlighted the importance of hearing clearly in noisy surroundings, so it’s clear why this became a primary focus for the Omnia range. However, it’s important to note that the 150% improvement in speech clarity is compared to older models, like the LiNX 3D.

That said, those who have used the latest Resound models continue to praise their natural sound quality, suggesting that the brand is certainly making significant strides in hearing aid technology.

Resound Omnia 7 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.

What features do you lose in the Resound Omnia 7 hearing aids, when compared to the 9?
