ReSound ENZO IA breaks a long-standing trade-off in hearing aids: until recently, you had to choose between maximum power and modern compact design. Older Super Power hearing aids were physically bulky to fit the larger batteries needed for high amplification. ENZO IA is the world's smallest rechargeable Super Power hearing aid — smaller than the previous ENZO Q generation while delivering more power and modern Bluetooth LE Audio connectivity. For severe-to-profound hearing loss, it's a meaningful upgrade.
What Makes ENZO IA Different
ENZO IA carries three "world's first/best/smallest" claims from ReSound:
- World's smallest rechargeable Super Power hearing aids — meaningful for patients self-conscious about the size of traditional power devices
- World's best feedback management — significantly reduces the whistling that traditionally plagued high-power hearing aids
- World's first Super Power hearing aid made for Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast — future-proof connectivity that other power BTEs are still catching up to
Underneath the form factor, ENZO IA uses ReSound's Intelligence Augmented approach to AI (the same philosophy as the ReSound Vivia): rather than using AI to dominate your hearing decisions, ENZO IA uses it to reduce noise so your brain can do what it naturally does well. The result is a Super Power hearing aid that feels more natural and less fatiguing than aggressively-processed alternatives.
Clear Focus — Speech in Noise for Power Users
For severe-to-profound loss patients, noisy environments are uniquely punishing. The hearing loss removes contextual cues; the loud amplification needed to compensate amplifies the noise along with the speech. ENZO IA's Clear Focus feature specifically addresses this — spotlighting speech and reducing distractions while preserving the natural soundscape so you don't feel cut off from your environment.
Who ENZO IA Works Well For
- Adults with severe to profound hearing loss — this is the device family designed for your audiogram
- Patients who want rechargeable power — previous Super Power devices typically required size-675 disposable batteries. ENZO IA is rechargeable with up to 28 hours of battery life per charge.
- Patients frustrated by feedback (whistling) — ReSound's feedback management is industry-leading and a real differentiator at this power level
- Patients who use public venues — the Auracast support means ENZO IA can connect to public broadcast systems in airports, theaters, conference centers as Auracast rollout expands
- Patients who use modern smartphones — iPhone direct streaming, Bluetooth LE Audio on Android (Bluetooth 5.3+), MultiConnect for switching between two devices
- Patients who liked previous ReSound devices — ENZO IA is the natural upgrade path from older ReSound Super Power devices like the ENZO Q
Where It's Less of a Fit
- Mild or moderate hearing loss — ENZO IA is over-spec'd. Look at ReSound Vivia instead.
- Patients who prioritize cosmetic invisibility — ENZO IA is a BTE device. The smallest of its class, but still behind-the-ear.
- Patients who want aggressive directional noise-cancellation — Phonak Naída Lumity takes a more directional approach that some patients prefer.
- Patients who don't need rechargeable and want the previous-generation feature set — ReSound ENZO Q is still available (more on that below).
About ReSound ENZO Q (The Previous Generation)
Dr. Rossetti continues to fit the ReSound ENZO Q for patients who need a Super Power device but don't need the latest LE Audio / Auracast features. The ENZO Q uses traditional Bluetooth and disposable size-675 batteries (5-7 days each), and is still an excellent option at potentially lower cost. If budget or feature simplicity matters, ENZO Q is worth discussing during your consultation.
For most new fittings in 2026, however, ENZO IA is the recommended choice due to the smaller size, rechargeable battery, Auracast future-proofing, and superior feedback management.

How ENZO IA Compares to Other Power BTEs
The three Super Power options Dr. Rossetti fits each take a different philosophical approach:
- ReSound ENZO IA — smallest rechargeable form factor; Intelligence Augmented (brain-supporting AI); world's first Super Power Auracast. Best if you want modern connectivity and the most compact size.
- Oticon Xceed — BrainHearing philosophy (360° sound preservation); breakthrough feedback prevention. Best if you found previous hearing aids "claustrophobic" or aggressive.
- Phonak Naída Lumity — SmartSpeech AI (more directional); compatible with the full Phonak Roger wireless microphone system. Best if you use Roger devices or want sharper directional focus.
None is universally better — they suit different listening preferences. Dr. Rossetti will help you choose during your consultation and can demonstrate options during the trial period.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between ENZO IA and ENZO Q?
ENZO IA is the current flagship: smaller, rechargeable, Bluetooth LE Audio, Auracast support, latest AI features. ENZO Q is the previous generation: traditional Bluetooth, disposable batteries (size 675), still excellent sound but lacks the latest connectivity. For most new fittings we recommend ENZO IA, but ENZO Q remains a solid value option for patients who don't need the latest features.
Does it really work with both iPhone and Android?
Yes — ENZO IA is built for the latest Bluetooth standard (LE Audio), so iPhone 11+ and Android phones with Bluetooth 5.3+ have full streaming and call support. Hands-free calling works with iPhone today; Android support depends on your phone's software version. We'll verify compatibility during consultation.
How does ENZO IA stay so small with Super Power amplification?
ReSound engineered a new rechargeable battery system and tighter component packaging specifically for ENZO IA. The result is the smallest rechargeable Super Power device on the market — meaningfully smaller than the previous ENZO Q despite delivering more power. The smaller form factor also makes it more comfortable to wear all day, with less pressure on the ear.
What is Auracast and why does it matter for Super Power patients?
Auracast is a new Bluetooth-based broadcast standard rolling out in public venues (airports, theaters, train stations, places of worship). It lets venues broadcast audio directly to compatible hearing devices — replacing or supplementing old telecoil/hearing-loop systems. ENZO IA is the world's FIRST Super Power hearing aid built for Auracast, and the world's first Super Power with an Auracast Assistant in the companion app. Adoption is still growing, but ENZO IA is future-ready.
Will I get feedback (whistling) with ENZO IA?
Significantly less than with previous Super Power devices. ReSound claims "world's best feedback management" on ENZO IA, and we've found it consistently delivers on that claim. Combined with a properly-fit custom earmold, most patients experience little to no feedback even at maximum gain.
Will my insurance cover it?
Super Power hearing aids like ENZO IA are often more likely to qualify for insurance coverage than standard devices because they serve patients with severe documented hearing loss. We verify your benefits before your appointment — call (954) 999-5495 with your insurance card information.
