Background
Signia is part of WS Audiology, the third-largest hearing aid manufacturer in the world, and their range of hearing aids offers a host of impressive features and technologies that make them stand out. The newest of these is the Integrated Xperience (IX) technology. The word "Integrated" is key here as these new devices offer multiple beam-forming capabilities to follow multiple conversations simultaneously. Traditional beam-forming technology narrows in on one conversation at a time, but many conversations involve numerous speakers.

What Makes Signia Pure Charge&Go IX Special?
Size and Shape
Signia's flagship Pure Charge&Go IX product is one of the smallest behind-the-ear style hearing aids on the market. The device itself sits comfortably behind the ear, and the tiny receiver wire is barely visible even if you are looking.
Battery Life
One key aspect of Signia's hearing aids that distinguishes them from others is their battery life. Their Signia Pure Charge&Go IX RIC hearing aids last up to 36 hours on a single charge. Additionally, Signia's dexterity-friendly charging options ensure that even individuals with limited hand mobility can power up their devices effortlessly. Charger options include a convenient travel charger, integrated dehumidifier charger, or even a UV light to disinfect.
Advanced Tech
Signia uses dual processing chips inside their devices to separate speech from noise. That additional power also creates the foundation for Signia's 2023 beam-forming update for multiple speakers.
One of our favorite features inside Signia Pure Charge&Go IX hearing aids is Own Voice Processing (OVP). OVP records your voice and actively reduces its level of amplification. This adjustment is small on its face but greatly impacts comfort - many wearers don't want to hear themselves booming through their hearing aids.
Auracast Compatible
Signia Pure Charge&Go IX is Bluetooth capable for iPhones and Androids but Signia took that connectivity one step further with new features that allows Auracast streaming in public places. If you arenβt familiar with Auracast, check out our guide to the topic here. Auracast will take some time to catch on in public spaces, but we love that Signia is already getting hearing aid wearers equipped.

Our Take
Signia's crisp, clear sound quality sets it apart in the world of hearing aids. Their innovative technologies, such as Own Voice Processing (OVP), offer a natural and comfortable listening experience by minimizing the sound of one's own voice. This is particularly helpful for new hearing aid users who may find their own voice to be too loud or unnatural during the hearing aid adjustment phase.
Signia's new technology is undoubtedly impressive, and with the app's assistance, it optimizes the ease of use for patients. The easy-to-use app can improve a patient's overall experience in wearing and managing their hearing aids, allowing for a better quality of life overall. We love their new features to help listeners with background noise.
