Resound Savi 4 Hearing Aids Overview
The Resound Savi 4 is the top performance level in Resound’s Savi range, sitting above the Savi 3 and offering the most sophisticated sound processing available in the essential hearing aid category.
The Savi 4 bridges the gap between everyday hearing aids and Resound’s premium Vivia range. It combines the connectivity features that make the Savi series stand out, including Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast broadcast audio, with the most advanced noise management, directionality, and fitting precision the range has to offer.
It brings noticeably more refinement to complex listening environments, and for anyone who regularly navigates noise, group conversation, or varied acoustic settings, that extra capability is likely to make a real difference day to day.
Whether you’re in a busy restaurant, streaming music on the go, following a lecture, or picking up a public Auracast broadcast at the theatre, the Savi 4 is built to handle it with minimal effort on your part.
What makes the Savi 4 stand out?
- More processing channels for the most precise fit in the range. The Savi 4 has the most processing channels. In practice, this gives your audiologist the greatest possible precision when programming your hearing aids, allowing them to fine-tune amplification across a wider range of frequencies for a fit that’s closely matched to your specific hearing loss.
- Autoscope Adaptive Directionality. The hearing aids automatically detect where speech is coming from and adjust their focus accordingly, so whether the person speaking to you is in front, to the side, or moving around, you’re picking up the voice you want to hear rather than the noise around it.
- Adjustable Directional Mix. You and your audiologist can personalise the balance between directional focus and all-round awareness to suit how you live. This is particularly useful if your listening needs vary across different settings, from a quiet office to a noisy social environment.
- Impulse Noise Protection. Sudden sharp sounds, a clattering kitchen, a slammed door, a passing vehicle, are automatically softened before they reach your ears. It’s one of those features you stop noticing because it’s always quietly doing its job.
- Music Mode. Standard hearing aid processing isn’t built with music in mind. Music Mode adjusts the processing to preserve the natural richness and dynamics of what you’re listening to, whether that’s through a streamed playlist or a live performance.
- Advanced background noise management. Like the rest of the Savi range, the Savi 4 uses NoiseTracker II, DFS Ultra III feedback suppression, and Wind Guard to handle the environments most likely to cause difficulty. At this level, those tools are working with the most precise fitting parameters in the range, which means they perform at their best.
- Built for everyday life. With a full IP68 rating and nano-coating protection, the Savi 4 handles moisture, dust, and daily wear without complaint.
Connectivity
The Savi 4 is the first essential-range hearing aid to support both Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast broadcast audio, and it’s hard to overstate what a difference this makes.
You can stream audio and take hands-free calls directly through the Resound Smart 3D app. But the standout feature is Auracast – the ability to connect to public audio broadcasts in theatres, airports, cinemas, lecture halls, and anywhere else using compatible Auracast transmitters.
The integrated Auracast Assistant in the Smart 3D app makes connecting as simple as a single tap, even if your phone doesn’t yet have Auracast built in. It’s the kind of connectivity that was previously reserved for much more expensive hearing aids.
Available models
The Savi 4 is available across all five Savi form factors, so you can choose the style that suits your hearing loss, lifestyle, and preferences:
miniRIE (Rechargeable): A sleek Receiver-in-Canal design with no batteries to worry about. You’ll get a full day’s use per charge, plus a quick-charge feature that gives you 2.7 hours of use from just 10 minutes of charging. Full Bluetooth LE and Auracast connectivity included.
RIE 61 (Size 312 Battery): A compact Receiver-in-Canal option for those who prefer traditional batteries, with all the same connectivity features.
RIE 62 (Size 13 Battery): The largest battery-powered RIC option, with size 13 batteries and a built-in telecoil – ideal if you regularly use hearing loop systems in theatres, places of worship, or public buildings.
ITC – In-the-Canal (Wireless): The first essential-range wireless ITC with Auracast support. Sits comfortably in your ear canal for a more discreet look, without sacrificing wireless streaming.
CIC – Completely-in-Canal: The most discreet option in the range, the CIC sits entirely within the ear canal and is virtually invisible to others. Worth discussing with your audiologist to confirm it’s suitable for your hearing loss and ear anatomy.

The Savi 4 is available in contemporary colours with a subtle shimmer finish:
miniRIE: Sparkling silver, sand, bronze, espresso, and deep black.
RIE models: Beige, medium blonde, dark brown, sterling grey, and black.
