Real Life Patients Review the ReSound Omnia

Hearing aid technology is fast evolving, and world-renowned hearing aid manufacturer ReSound is at the forefront of groundbreaking new technology that seeks to transform the hearing aid landscape and give better hearing to people across the globe.

ReSound released the Omnia on August 25, and the new wearable hearing aids have received mass praise.

While the world-wide and professional reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, at Cornerstone Audiology, we want to be as thorough as possible in our research before recommending a new hearing aid technology to our valued patients.

Because of our desire for thoroughness, we asked some of our patients to take part in a trial with the ReSound Omnia. These trusted patients were told to put the hearing aids to the test, to wear them consistently for 14 days, and then to check back in with us to provide any positives and negatives they found.

Their feedback is in, and now we want to share it with you so that you have as much information as possible before you purchase a pair for yourself.

But first, let’s check out what makes the ReSound Omnia so special.

What makes the ReSound Omnia different?

In order to stick with what ReSound has been doing so well for so many years, the Omnia makes small tweaks to the technology of ReSound to create even better hearing.

The goal of these hearing aids is to help users hear more clearly in noisy environments and to have more clarity in ambient sound.

So, what’s the difference?

ReSound says that the Omnia helps users understand speech more clearly in noisy environments when compared with other ReSound products.

The secret formula to better speech understanding in spite of more background noise is the Organic Hearing ™ technology. This technology mimics the natural hearing process and helps the brain hear the way it is supposed to.

The Organic Hearing ™ technology also addresses the fact that each person has a unique ear shape. The ReSound Omnia hearing aids are shaped to collect sound inside the ear for each individual person and they are formulated to the exact specifications of each person’s ear.

The ReSound Smart 3D ™ app provides full support to users in order to achieve a perfectly fitting hearing aid.  

Groundbreaking features complement the perfect fit and enhanced speech clarity.

Life is unpredictable, and the ReSound Omnia hearing aids are made for whatever happens. They are fully weatherproof and sweatproof, which means that life and better hearing can continue on, hand in hand, no matter the circumstances.

Due to the connected nature of our world, the ReSound Omnia hearing aids boast of top-of-the-line streaming capabilities from iPhone, iPad, or Android devices. Users can enjoy clear phone calls and music streaming that exceeds the capabilities of the legacy technology of ReSound.

Overall, ReSound Omnia boasts a lot of exciting tweaks to their trusted hearing aid technology.

So, what do our patients think?

We wanted to create as diverse a pool of voices as we could, and so we asked many patients to be a part of this trial.

After 14 days of wearing the ReSound Omnia hearing aids, several patients came back and shared their experiences and whether they would recommend them or not. We always tell our patients the truth, so here is the positive, and negative, feedback from the trial users.

Here’s what they had to say:

Stacey rated the ReSound Omnia a 9 out of 10 and found that sound was more crisp and she experienced more clarity in speech. She noted that the Omnia worked better in wind than her other hearing aids, and she could hear a conversation in a crowd much better. She would certainly recommend them to others

June didn’t notice much of a difference from her other hearing aids and did notice that the connectivity to her phone was good at first but then stopped being beneficial. She recommends interested persons to try them out.

Another patient rated them a 5 out of 10 and felt that it was easier to identify directional noises and where they were coming from. Sound quality was definitely crisper and clearer, but this patient found that new sounds would have an echo-like quality at first. This patient really enjoyed the quality of quieter sounds, for example, birds chirping and leaves rustling, and also found that the app was easy to use! While this patient wouldn’t choose them, they do recommend them for other people.

Joyce did not notice a difference from her other hearing aids but still encourages others to try them out and see if they make a difference.

Shirley found the sound to be much crisper but not when watching TV or in a conversation. She found that she had to turn the volume up to hear better. While she wouldn’t recommend them, she did rate them a 5/10.

Renay struggled with the hearing aids switching between settings on their own, which made it hard for her to hear at times. She did find that the sound quality was much better than her current hearing aids but only when they stayed connected.

Peggy is another patient who wasn’t impressed with the ReSound Omnia hearing aids and didn’t find that they were as good as her current hearing aids.

Kurt was very impressed with the ReSound Omnia hearing aids and rated them a 9 out of 10! He noted they were light weight, and it was easy to forget they were even in. Specifically, he found that they did not squeal during music events, not even during high pitch instruments, specifically violin notes. Kurt found them to provide more of a natural hearing environment and would certainly recommend them to others!

Brenda is another patient who was very happy with the ReSound Omnia hearing aids! She loved the convenience of the charger instead of having to use batteries and found the sound quality to be much better than her other hearing aids. She rated them a 10/10!

Alwyn rated the Omnia a 9/10 and found that the hearing devices helped him to hear more clearly, specifically in restaurants.

Tom found the sound to be much clearer, even at a lower sound level. He noted that he could hear his wife from two rooms away and would certainly recommend them to others!

Barry liked that there was less background noise, specifically at church and at a café. He rated them a 10 out of 10 and eagerly recommends them to others.

Michael liked the fit of the ReSound Omnia and the crisper sound. When watching TV and talking with his wife, Michael noted that he could hear more words. He gave them a 9/10.

Carl found the ReSound Omnia to provide improved clarity but still missed out on some conversation with family. He did like that it was easier to hear transitions in conversation and tried out the Front Focus feature at a café and really liked the difference this feature made! He recommended them heartily.

Cary is another user who liked the ReSound Omnia hearing aid and found the sound to be clearer and really enjoyed the noise filter.

Marybeth rated the ReSound Omnia a 10/10 and gave thorough feedback. She noted that the sound was steady, it didn’t go off then on again, liked that the batteries were rechargeable, found background noise to be easier to block out, and liked the ease with which she could increase and decrease the sound level. She attended a concert and felt the sound was perfect! Her high praise certainly means she would recommend them to others.

Mike found the sound to be better all around, specifically when talking to his grandson. He rated them an 8/10 and recommends them to others.

Betty liked that the Omnia stayed charged longer but didn’t find a huge difference in sound quality from her current hearing aids. She would recommend them to others though.

Ronald rated the Omnia a 10/10 and would recommend them to others!

Dennis was one tester who did not see any improvement over his older device. He wouldn’t recommend them to others, which is one reason why we encourage honesty and love the feedback we get from our trusted patients!

Joy enjoyed no wind noise and said that the shape was much more conducive to glasses wearers. She liked the position of the mics and found that they helped with clearer hearing. In a restaurant with background noise and music, she found that she could still hear conversation! She recommends them to others.

James rated the ReSound Omnia an 8/10 and shared the story of being at a Sunday school class where many conversations were occurring at once. He was able to hear better in that situation and was able to hear the teacher better as well.

Wes was impressed by the sound clarity of the ReSound Omnia as compared with his other device. He experienced some feedback issues in the beginning but was able to adjust the Omnia with the app and fix the problem. He rated them an 8/10 and recommends them to others!

Another satisfied tester was Zane, who found that the forward mic helped to eliminate unwanted sounds when in crowds. Specifically, he found that when at a crowded restaurant, he was able to focus on his party and actually hear what they were saying! He recommends them to others and rated them an 8/10.
