ReSound
Savi
$1,300 – $3,000 / pair
HearingTracker and NCOA both report $1,500-$3,000 per pair depending on provider and bundled services. Hears Hearing & Hearables quotes $650-$750 per device unbundled, which doubles to $1,300-$1,500 per pair (fitting services billed separately).
ReSound Savi is the company's budget prescription line, launched in 2025 and typically priced at $1,300 to $3,000 per pair. It brings Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast streaming to the entry tier, with rechargeable and disposable-battery options across RIC and custom in-ear styles. What you give up is the AI noise-reduction chip found in ReSound's flagship Vivia.

Our Take
Savi sits at the value end of ReSound's prescription lineup — launched in February 2025 alongside the flagship Vivia, effectively replacing the older Key line. What's unusual is how much modern connectivity survives the trip down-market: Bluetooth LE Audio, Auracast broadcast streaming, and hands-free calling on both iPhone and Android, features many brands still reserve for pricier tiers. You can choose rechargeable or disposable batteries, and the custom ITC and CIC styles added in February 2026 join the original receiver-in-ear models, which cover mild through profound loss.
Two or three technology levels is all Savi offers, and that number points straight at where the savings come from: sound processing. There's no deep-neural-network chip here — Vivia keeps that — so noise handling relies on ReSound's conventional NoiseTracker II rather than AI-based reduction, and there's less room for fine-tuned personalization than premium lines allow. The lineup also skips behind-the-ear styles entirely, and the tiny CIC model has no wireless connectivity, so anyone who wants streaming should stick with the RIE or ITC versions.
Against its peers the price gap is wide: Savi's $1,300 to $3,000 per pair undercuts the Phonak Audéo Infinio ($2,498 to $4,598) and Oticon Intent ($2,898 to $4,598) by a healthy margin. If your days lean quiet — home, one-on-one conversations, streaming TV and calls — that gap is money better kept in your pocket. If loud restaurants are your regular battle, the premium processing in those rivals may earn its price. Your hearing care professional can help you weigh which matters more for your ears.

ReSound Savi Questions
For many people, yes. At roughly $1,300 to $3,000 per pair, Savi delivers Bluetooth LE Audio, Auracast, hands-free calling, and a 30-hour rechargeable battery for far less than premium lines. Some independent providers sell it unbundled at $650 to $750 per device, with fitting services billed separately. You trade away AI-based noise reduction, so it's the better deal if you spend most of your time in quieter settings.
Price is the biggest difference: Savi runs $1,300 to $3,000 per pair, while the Phonak Audéo Infinio ranges from $2,498 to $4,598. As ReSound's essential tier, Savi skips AI-driven noise reduction and offers only two to three technology levels, but it still includes LE Audio, Auracast, hands-free calling, and both rechargeable and disposable-battery options. If budget leads your decision, Savi keeps modern streaming within reach.
Yes. Every Savi style except the CIC supports Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast broadcast streaming, so you're ready as theaters, airports, and other public venues begin broadcasting audio directly to hearing aids. That's notable at this price — Auracast support is still uncommon in budget-tier prescription aids. The CIC model has no wireless connectivity at all, so choose the RIE or ITC styles if streaming matters to you.
The rechargeable microRIE runs about 30 hours per charge, and a 10-minute quick charge adds roughly 2.7 hours when you're heading out the door. If you'd rather not depend on a charger, Savi also comes in disposable-battery versions — a flexibility many current hearing aid lines have dropped. Real-world battery life will vary with how much you stream.
