Published Updated
Quick Verdict
AI summarizedSummarized with AI assistance from our human-researched product information, in-lab testing, objective sound measurements, and expert ratings.
The real choice is value versus size: the Enhance Pro 30 costs roughly $2,100 less per pair and gives a fitter more adjustment bands to work with, while the Vivia is a notably smaller shell with stronger battery life if you can absorb the higher price.
Enhance Pro 30
Choose the Jabra Enhance Pro 30 if you want IP68-rated, feature-rich RIE hearing aids with more fine-tuning bands (17 vs. 14) at roughly $2,100 less per pair than the Vivia, and you're comfortable buying through Costco Hearing Centers.
Vivia
Choose the ReSound Vivia if you want one of the smallest microRIE shells we've tested with strong all-day battery life and crisp sound in quiet, and the roughly $2,100 higher price per pair isn't a deciding factor.
What actually separates them
AI summarizedPrice gap
PriceThe Enhance Pro 30 runs about $2,100 less per pair than the Vivia, which is a large enough gap to matter for most buyers weighing value against the Vivia's size and battery advantages.
Adjustment bands for fine-tuning
SpecThe Enhance Pro 30 offers 17 adjustment bands versus 14 on the Vivia, giving a fitting professional more granular control when shaping the frequency response.
Size and battery life
Hands-on reviewOur hands-on testing found the Vivia to be one of the smallest microRIE designs tested with excellent all-day battery life, an edge for buyers prioritizing discretion and not wanting to think about charging.
Purchase channel
SpecThe Enhance Pro 30 is sold only through Costco Hearing Centers, while the Vivia is not tied to that single retailer, which matters if Costco access or membership isn't convenient for you.

DirectionalityDirectionalityDepending on the types and number of microphones a hearing aid has, the hearing aid may be able to boost sounds from specific directions (by reducing sounds from other directions). This can be helpful to focus on a speaker directly in front of the hearing aid user, as well as to give the user information about where different sounds are coming from.

Bottom Line
AI summarizedThe Verdict
If budget matters and you want a professional to have more room to fine-tune your fit, the Jabra Enhance Pro 30 is the stronger value at about $2,100 less per pair, with more adjustment bands (17 vs.
14) — though it does mean buying through Costco Hearing Centers.
Which is right for you?
If a smaller, more discreet device with excellent all-day battery life is worth paying up for, the ReSound Vivia justifies its higher price for buyers who prioritize form factor and battery over saving money.
What to ask at your fitting
AI summarizedAsk about fine-tuning needs at fitting
If you have a complex or asymmetric loss, discuss with your fitter whether the Enhance Pro 30's extra adjustment bands (17 vs. 14) would meaningfully improve your fit over the Vivia.
Confirm Costco access for the Enhance Pro 30
Since the Enhance Pro 30 is sold exclusively through Costco Hearing Centers, check that a location and membership work for your schedule before committing.
Compare real-world battery habits
If all-day streaming without a mid-day charge matters to you, ask your fitter how the Vivia's battery life compares to the Enhance Pro 30 in your typical use case.
