ReSound launched the Savi “essential” hearing aid family in February 2025 alongside its current premium flagship line, ReSound Vivia. Savi is designed to provide clear sound, comfortable wear, and future-proof connectivity at a more accessible price point. It incorporates many of ReSound’s latest core technologies—most notably Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) Audio with Auracast™ broadcast streaming in all but one model—but without the more advanced, costly AI-driven features of the Vivia line.
This means Savi receiver-in-ear (RIE) and in-the-canal (ITC) users receive the same new wireless protocols for direct phone/audio streaming and Auracast public broadcasts as Vivia. However, Savi omits the separate Deep Neural Network (DNN) noise-processing chip and other advanced algorithms to keep costs down.
Savi RIEs can accommodate a wide range of hearing loss, from mild to profound, thanks to support for Low, Medium, High, and Ultra Power receivers. ReSound also improved RIE wearer comfort with reworked ear domes and field‐replaceable microphone filters to reduce maintenance. Despite its economical positioning, these models boast robust all-weather durability (IP68-rated).
In February 2026, the ReSound Savi line expanded with its new ITC and Completely-in-Canal (CIC) custom styles—the former being the first-ever essential wireless ITC to support Auracast broadcast audio.
HearingTracker and the HearAdvisor lab have not yet tested Savi, so we don’t have in-depth data on its performance. Stay tuned for this information in the future.
Who Should Consider Savi?
Savi is designed as essential hearing tech—quality sound, reliable connectivity, and solid battery life—for budget-minded users who want ReSound’s latest platform without paying for premium extras. If you want access to today’s most advanced streaming standards but don’t necessarily need or want the AI-driven noise-reduction features found in Vivia, Savi’s more economical price tag could be worth a look.
