The ReSound Nexia 9 77 DWC 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.
We are once again looking at a standard hearing aid with a thick or thin plastic tube for mild, moderate, and also severe hearing needs: This model is called Nexia 9 77 DWC and comes from the company ReSound. It is worn behind the ear, and it is a relatively small hearing aid. The Nexia 9 77 DWC is a model from the high-end category. Let's see if the price classification is justified.
Hearing comfort
In our test, we typically start with the analysis of comfort features. A comfortable sound is characterized by a mix of speech and background noise that is realistic and as pleasant as possible. Various electronic tools take care of all the sounds. With the Nexia 9 77 DWC, the manufacturer provides customers with comprehensive noise management. One of the noise tools is noise suppression, which is intended to dampen noises such as traffic noise, refrigerator hum, or PC fans. Here, a very effective noise suppression is implemented. It can be adjusted by the acoustician to individual sensitivities and provides exactly the level of attenuation that the customer desires. This makes you well-equipped for demanding hearing environments.
Short, sharp noises are usually annoying, but in this model, there is an adjustable impulse sound control. This makes sounds like cutlery clattering, slamming drawers, or rustling newspapers feel less unpleasant. This device features really good wind management, making outdoor stays enjoyable. Normal hearers typically don't think about spatial hearing. With this hearing aid, we don’t have to either. A sophisticated system of directional microphones and binaural wireless networking generates a 3D effect that comes very close to natural hearing. With 17 frequency channels, the Nexia 9 77 DWC clearly belongs to the better devices and allows for individual, well-sounding programming.
An exciting topic in audiology is the use of artificial intelligence, but this is not yet applied in this ReSound model.
Rating Hearing comfort: 1,6
Operation & connectivity
Since you probably don't have your audiologist by your side all the time, it is quite helpful to be able to make changes to the hearing aid yourself. There are various operating options, and we will look at which ones the Nexia 9 77 DWC has. There is a button directly on the hearing aid. With it, you can adjust the volume or activate additional hearing programs. It can be programmed entirely according to customer preferences. The use is, of course, optional. A remote control is available for the Nexia 9 77 DWC. It is quite practical, fits in your pocket, and offers a volume up-down option as well as various hearing programs.
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. But this feature is currently not available in the Nexia 9 77 DWC. Some hearing aids can also be operated with a simple tap of a finger, without having to press an extra button. However, this feature has not yet been implemented here.
Adjusting volume or special functions via an app is already common today, and the Nexia 9 77 DWC follows this path by providing us with an app. This app offers far more than just hearing aid functions and hints at what hearing aids could be used for in the future - besides good hearing. The Nexia 9 comes with a 2.4 GHz antenna and allows us to enjoy binaural phone calls. This even gives us an advantage over normally hearing individuals. We appreciate this and are happy to give points.
Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,3

Simplicity & security
No matter how great the hearing aid sounds: nothing is more inconvenient than a product that constantly presents hurdles in our daily lives. That's why simplicity and safety are very important topics in our hearing aid tests: With a top-class situational awareness, Nexia 9 77 DWC completely convinced us. The hearing aid seamlessly adapts to the acoustic environment and rarely requires our intervention. Hearing feels completely normal. Very important in terms of simplicity is the support during the acclimatization process. Especially after having heard poorly for years, it can sometimes be difficult to perceive everything at a natural volume. In our test device, there is an acclimatization manager that helps us through the adjustment phase with very small volume adjustments. After a few weeks or months, we then reach the calculated amplification level.
A great relief in daily life is the integrated battery. This means my Nexia 9 77 DWC always has enough power for the whole day, and I no longer have to worry that the batteries will suddenly run out in the middle of an event. Also, for those with limited dexterity, a battery system is very helpful because it eliminates the need to insert small button cells.
The hearing aid has been classified in the IP protection class 68. This guarantees comprehensive protection against dust ingress. Water cannot easily harm the hearing aid either. It is therefore well-equipped for outdoor activities, where it can get wet and dirty. However, you should still avoid bathing or swimming with the hearing aids. Bath additives or the salt content in seawater can alter the composition and ultimately cause damage.
Rating Simplicity & security: 1,0

Extras
We have covered the most important factors in our test report. Before we conclude, we are looking out for a few extras: A special tinnitus program can be programmed on request in the Nexia 9 77 DWC. This allows stimulating, pleasant sounds to be generated that can distract from tinnitus when it is particularly strong. We find this very useful and are happy to award extra points.
A very good added benefit is offered by the remote maintenance service. Through the app, you can contact your audiologist and describe your hearing problem. They can adjust the settings accordingly and send them to the hearing aids via the app. This is a great service for people with little time or a long commute.
A new trend in the hearing aid industry is integrated sensors that can track some personal health data, for example. However, the Nexia 9 77 DWC does not offer this. The hearing aid also forgoes additional features such as special assistance systems, a fall alarm, or language translators. This is not a major issue, as it does not affect the important hearing functions.
Rating Extras: 2,5
Conclusion: ReSound Nexia 9 77 DWC
