The 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.
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.
Since the Enhance Pro 30 is sold exclusively through Costco Hearing Centers, check that a location and membership work for your schedule before committing.
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.
