The ReSound Nexia 7 62-DRW in review
Diese Technik wurde im Februar 2025 von den ReSound Vivia abgelöst ist daher nicht mehr ganz aktuell . Aus diesem Grund nehmen eine Abwertung in der Gesamtnote vor.
Could this hearing aid from the ReSound program be the right one for you? In our review of the Nexia 7 62-DRW, we have highlighted the key aspects. Here, we have a small hearing aid from the high-end category that is worn behind the ear. With the speaker arrangement discreetly positioned in the ear towards the eardrum, the foundation for good hearing success is laid, as the sound has only a very short distance to travel to the eardrum. This ensures that all sounds reach the place where we want them to be.
The Nexia 7 62-DRW provides sufficient amplification for both mild and more significant hearing needs.
Hearing comfort
In the Hearing Comfort section, we look at how a hearing aid manages all the background noise. Comfortable noise management significantly contributes to a user liking and regularly wearing their hearing aids. In this ReSound device, the manufacturer provides the customer with comprehensive sound management. The regular noise suppression aims to reduce consistent, hooting background noises. In the Nexia 7 62-DRW, you can be quite satisfied with the depth of control for noise suppression. It can be adjusted in stages and ensures that the sounds do not dominate.
Quickly occurring, rattling noises are noticeably and sufficiently dampened, which we find pleasant. A commendable wind management helps to suppress small turbulence at the hearing aid microphones. For all outdoor lovers, this function is essential. Spatial hearing is reliably supported by multifunctional microphones and is definitely practical. While a few more frequency channels would be desirable, the existing 14 channels already provide a good basis for work.
ReSound does not yet utilize artificial intelligence in this version.
Rating Hearing comfort: 2,1
Operation & connectivity
Since you probably don’t have your hearing aid specialist by your side all the time, it is very helpful to be able to make changes to the hearing aid yourself. There are various control options, and we will take a look at what the Nexia 7 62-DRW has to offer. The simplest control option is always a button directly on the hearing aid. This model has one as well. It can be programmed according to your preference. Do you want a manual volume control? No problem, the button allows for gradual volume adjustments. Or do you need various special programs for your professional life or your hobbies? These can also be activated via the button. If you prefer to leave everything in automatic mode, you can simply ignore the button or even have it disabled. Those who don’t like to touch their ear to turn up the volume will appreciate the optional remote control. This allows for comfortable and discreet adjustments to the hearing aid.
We are always excited when a hearing aid surprises us with a great additional feature. For example, we would have liked to see voice control at this point. However, this is not available in the Nexia 7 62-DRW. There is no control of the hearing aids with a simple tap of the finger in this ReSound model, as it would have needed specific sensors in the housing for that.
Hearing aid apps are becoming increasingly popular. In the case of the Nexia 7 62-DRW, we are fortunate: there is an appropriate app. We are completely thrilled with this app. Not only are there numerous ways to adapt the hearing aids to individual hearing preferences, but the app also offers plenty of lifestyle features. The Nexia 7 comes with a 2.4 GHz antenna and allows us the enjoyment of binaural phone calls. This even gives us an advantage over normal hearing individuals. We think that’s great and are happy to give it points.

Simplicity & security
In the next step, we want to address the topic of user-friendliness. Is the Nexia 7 62-DRW easy to use? Is it weatherproof? Do you have to do a lot to get used to it? Here are our answers: With the Nexia 7 62-DRW, we experienced an effective situational automation that supports our hearing well. This already ensures that we don’t have to constantly adjust the hearing aid. We give a big plus point for the automatic acclimatization assistant. It gradually increases the starting volume in very small steps until my hearing goal is reached. This significantly eases the adaptation to the new sound.
The Nexia 7 62-DRW is not equipped with a rechargeable battery, so it is not rechargeable. It uses a hearing aid battery size 13 for power. It needs to be replaced every few days.
With an IP 68 certification, the hearing aid can withstand various adverse influences. Dust cannot enter, it can withstand prolonged submersion in water, and it is also protected against contact.
Rating Simplicity & security: 2,0
Extras
The final touches belong to the extras, meaning small additional features that could earn the hearing aid some extra points: A special tinnitus program can be programmed upon request in the Nexia 7 62-DRW. This allows the generation of stimulating, pleasant sounds that distract from the tinnitus when it is particularly strong. We find this very useful and are happy to award extra points.
A clever tool is the integrated remote maintenance service. Almost everyone has a smartphone, and time is a scarce resource. Therefore, such a remote maintenance service is absolutely appropriate. Those who need a new programming for their hearing aids can easily contact their audiologist through the app and describe their hearing preferences. Through a cloud service, the professional can then send a customized setting as a data package to the app. From there, it will be loaded onto the hearing aid and can be tested immediately. This definitely deserves extra points in our test.
Many hearing aids today still come with a few health functions. However, since the Nexia 7 62-DRW does not have any special sensors for this, we cannot present any particular features here. The functionality of the Nexia 7 62-DRW is limited to normal hearing, which is perfectly fine. Additional features like fall alarms or Siri connections do provide a considerable added value but are not relevant for good hearing balance.
Rating Extras: 2,5
