ReSound Sensia™ hearing aids

ReSound Sensia is a new premium hearing aid family from ReSound, built on GN’s new AI platform. It is designed to help users hear more clearly in both quiet and noisy environments by automatically analysing the sound situation and supporting the speech they want to focus on.

Many hearing aid users find noisy places difficult, especially when several people are talking at once. ReSound Sensia is made for these real-life situations. It combines AI-based sound sensing, directional microphone technology and automatic noise reduction to help speech stand out more clearly without requiring the user to change settings manually.

What makes ReSound Sensia different?

ReSound Sensia introduces a new approach called Intelligent All-Around. This combines several technologies that work together to identify the listening environment, focus on speech and reduce noise in a more automatic way. The goal is to make it easier to follow conversations, even when the sound environment changes.

Instead of only amplifying the loudest voice nearby, ReSound Sensia is designed to support the speech the user wants to hear. This is especially useful in places such as restaurants, meetings, family gatherings and other situations where background noise and multiple voices can make listening tiring.

AI that helps in everyday listening

AI in hearing aids can sound complicated, but the idea is simple: the hearing aid analyses sound and adjusts automatically. ReSound Sensia uses GN’s new AI platform to recognise different sound environments and activate the right features when they are needed.

This means the hearing aid can respond when the user moves from a quiet room into a busy street, a meeting room or a restaurant. The purpose is not to remove all noise, but to make speech easier to follow and reduce listening effort in changing environments.

AcoustIQ: accurate real-time sound sensing

At the centre of ReSound Sensia is AcoustIQ, a real-time sound-sensing system that continuously monitors the surrounding sound environment. It helps the hearing aid decide which features should be active in each situation.

According to ReSound, AcoustIQ classifies the environment and engages features with 88% greater accuracy than the closest premium solution. This means the hearing aid is better able to activate the right support at the right moment, so users get more benefit without needing to change programs themselves.

Clear Focus: focusing on the speech in front of you

ReSound Sensia also includes a 4-microphone beamforming system called Clear Focus. This helps users focus on the speech source they are facing. In simple terms, when the user looks towards the person they want to hear, the hearing aids can place more focus on that direction.

This is helpful in noisy environments where there may be several competing voices. The technology is designed to make the intended speaker more audible, rather than automatically prioritising the loudest voice in the room.

DNN denoising: clearer speech with less intrusive background noise

ReSound Sensia uses DNN denoising, which means Deep Neural Network-based noise reduction. This is a form of AI-based sound processing that helps keep speech clear while making background noise feel more natural and less intrusive.

Noise reduction does not create silence, and it cannot remove every unwanted sound. Instead, DNN denoising helps reduce the effect of background noise so speech can be easier to follow in difficult listening situations.

Designed for noisy environments

Noisy environments are one of the biggest challenges for hearing aid users. A quiet one-to-one conversation may be easy to follow, but restaurants, meetings, family dinners and social events can be much more demanding.

ReSound Sensia is built to help with these situations by combining environmental classification, directional focus and automatic noise reduction. These features work together so the hearing aid can respond more accurately as the listening situation changes.

Automatic support with less need for manual changes

Many users do not want to adjust hearing aid programs throughout the day. ReSound Sensia is designed to step in automatically, so the hearing aid can engage the right features without the user needing to remember to change settings.

This can be especially useful for users who move between different listening situations during the day, such as home, work, shops, public transport, cafés and outdoor spaces.

Battery life and rechargeable options

ReSound Sensia is available in rechargeable styles, including microRIE and custom rechargeable ITC and ITE options. GN states that the rechargeable microRIE and ITC/ITE styles offer up to 24 hours of battery life, even with automatic DNN denoising available.

All-day battery performance can be important for users who rely on their hearing aids from morning to evening. Rechargeable hearing aids also remove the need to change disposable batteries every few days.

Available hearing aid styles

The ReSound Sensia family includes several hearing aid styles, giving users and hearing care professionals more flexibility when choosing the right fit.

  • microRIE: a small receiver-in-ear style with rechargeable battery.
  • RIE: receiver-in-ear styles with ZincAir 312 and 13 batteries.
  • CIC: non-wireless completely-in-canal custom-made style.
  • ITC: wireless in-the-canal custom-made style.
  • Rechargeable ITC and ITE: custom-made rechargeable styles.

The best style depends on hearing needs, ear shape, comfort preferences, battery preference and whether wireless features are important.

Connectivity with Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast

ReSound Sensia supports the latest Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast technology. This can support modern wireless listening possibilities, including future shared audio broadcasts where compatible devices can connect to the same audio stream.

For hearing aid users, connectivity can make everyday listening easier, especially when streaming sound from compatible phones, TVs, computers and public audio systems. Exact compatibility depends on the hearing aid model, phone, accessories and local availability.

Durability for everyday use

ReSound Sensia hearing aids are described as IP68-rated, with protective nanocoating on every part. This rating indicates strong resistance to dust and water exposure in everyday conditions.

However, hearing aids should still be handled with care. They should not be worn in the shower, used while swimming or exposed unnecessarily to water, heat or moisture. Regular cleaning and drying remain important for reliable daily use.

What to remember before choosing ReSound Sensia

ReSound Sensia is an advanced hearing aid family, but the right choice depends on the user’s hearing loss, ear shape, lifestyle and fitting preferences. A hearing care professional should assess which style, receiver, dome, earmould and technology level is suitable.

Small parts also matter. Domes, wax filters, receivers, chargers and cleaning products all help keep hearing aids comfortable and working correctly in daily use.

Accessories and care for ReSound hearing aids

If you already use ReSound hearing aids, the right accessories and maintenance products can help keep them working well. Depending on your model, you may need replacement domes, wax filters, receivers, chargers or cleaning products.
