ReSound Vivia BTE Series Accessories & Compatibility Guide | Japebo
If you’re looking for ReSound Vivia BTE series accessories, the most important step is matching the part to your exact Vivia behind-the-ear (BTE) configuration. Even small differences (receiver type, dome size, filter system, or tube style) can determine whether an accessory fits and performs correctly. This guide explains ReSound Vivia BTE series compatibility, what the common accessory types do, and how to choose the right replacement the first time.
What is the ReSound Vivia BTE series?
The ReSound Vivia BTE series is a family of ReSound hearing aids in a behind-the-ear format. Depending on the specific Vivia model and fitting, your device may use either:
Classic BTE with an earhook + tube (sound travels through a tube to an earmould or dome), or
Receiver-in-ear (RIE) / receiver-based fitting (the receiver sits in the ear and connects via a thin wire).
Accessories are chosen based on this fitting style. If you’re unsure which you have, check whether there is a thin wire going into the ear (receiver) or a clear/soft tube (tubing).
Accessory compatibility for the ReSound Vivia BTE series (what matters)
To confidently pick compatible parts for the ReSound Vivia BTE series, identify these details first:
Fitting type: tube + earhook (BTE) or receiver wire (RIE-style fit).
Ear-piece style: dome vs custom earmould.
Size and comfort needs: dome size and openness affect comfort and sound.
Wax protection system: the correct wax filter type must match the receiver/earpiece system.
If you are replacing an existing accessory, the safest approach is to match the name/shape of the part you currently use (or the code on the packaging) rather than guessing by appearance alone.
Common ReSound Vivia BTE series accessory types (and what they do)
Domes (ear tips)
Domes sit in the ear canal and affect both comfort and sound performance. A more open dome can feel lighter and reduce “blocked” sensation, while a more closed dome can improve bass and help manage feedback in some fittings.
Choose domes by: (1) matching the exact dome family used with your Vivia fitting, and (2) selecting the correct size.
Receivers / speaker units (if your Vivia uses a receiver wire)
If your ReSound Vivia BTE uses a receiver-in-ear style fit, the receiver is the speaker that delivers sound in the ear. Receivers must match the correct connection type and typically come in different wire lengths and power levels. Using the wrong one can lead to poor fit, reduced sound quality, or incompatibility.
Tip: If you’re replacing a receiver, copy the exact power and length from your current receiver whenever possible.
Wax filters (wax guards)
Wax filters protect the sound outlet from earwax and moisture and are among the most common replacement parts. The correct filter depends on the receiver/earpiece system used with your ReSound Vivia BTE series hearing aid.
When to replace: if sound becomes weaker, muffled, or intermittent, a wax filter change is often the first (and cheapest) fix.
Tubes and earhooks (if your Vivia is a classic BTE with tubing)
For tube-based BTE fittings, tubing and earhooks affect retention, comfort, and sound delivery. Tubes can harden or discolor over time and may need regular replacement to maintain comfort and hygiene.
Cleaning and care items
Even with the correct accessories, regular care reduces issues like blockage, feedback, and reduced volume. Cleaning tools and drying solutions can extend the life of domes, receivers, and earmoulds.
How to choose the right ReSound Vivia BTE series accessories
Use this step-by-step selection process:
Identify your fitting type: tube + earhook vs receiver wire.
Match the part family: choose the dome/receiver/filter type designed for your exact Vivia configuration.
Match the size/variant: dome size, receiver wire length, and receiver power level should match what you already use (unless your hearing care professional advised a change).
Replace like-for-like first: when troubleshooting, start by replacing the most common wear items (domes and wax filters).
