ReSound Nexia 761 RIE
The ReSound Nexia 761 RIE is an advanced-tier receiver-in-ear hearing aid. Its headline feature is Bluetooth LE Audio 5.2 with Auracast: Nexia was the first hearing aid range from a global manufacturer to support Auracast broadcast audio, which lets you tune straight into the sound system at airports, cinemas, auditoriums and places of worship that broadcast it. It also streams directly from iPhone and Android and uses 360 All-Around directionality across 14 WARP channels.

What the Nexia 761 is
A plain look at what this model actually gives you, based only on its own spec sheet.
Bluetooth LE Audio 5.2 with Auracast
Tunes straight into venues that broadcast Auracast, such as airports, cinemas, auditoriums and places of worship, instead of straining to hear a loudspeaker. Nexia was the first global-manufacturer range to support it.
Direct iPhone and Android streaming
Streams calls, music and video directly from iPhone and Android phones.
360 All-Around directionality
Keeps a sense of where sound is coming from all around you, not just in front.
14 WARP channels
Sound is shaped across 14 WARP channels for a more precise fit to your hearing.
Battery or rechargeable at fitting
The Nexia RIE 61 is sold in both a rechargeable and a size 312 battery version. We confirm which variant suits you at the fitting rather than assuming one.
Who it suits (and who should look elsewhere)
An honest fit check, so the money goes to the right device.
You spend time in public venues
Best for people who are often in airports, cinemas, auditoriums or places of worship that broadcast Auracast.
You want strong connectivity
Direct streaming from iPhone and Android plus LE Audio makes this a well-connected everyday aid.
You value spatial awareness
360 All-Around directionality suits people who want to keep track of sound all around them.
You mainly need speech-in-noise
If restaurants and groups are your single hardest situation, the flagship Vivia 9 with its neural-network speech processing goes further.
Budget is tight
This is an advanced-tier aid. If cost is the deciding factor, the Key 362 or Key 488 give you streaming for far less, without Auracast.
It manages, not cures
The Nexia 761 manages your hearing loss with advanced connectivity. It does not cure the loss itself.
