The Inside Scoop on Signia Hearing Aids: What You Need to Know

Signia hearing aids office

Signia, evolving from Siemens' hearing aid division in 2016, swiftly gained prominence in the industry with its innovative and top-rated products, blending a rich legacy dating back to 1878 with modern innovation.

Key Takeaways

  • Signia hearing aid prices range from $1,200-$8,000 for the pair, and the costs vary based on the model, style, technology level, service package included (if any), and retailer.
  • There are several ways to buy Signia hearing aids, but Signia recommends buying from a provider that offers face-to-face in-person fitting and follow up care.
  • Signia’s best hearing aid is the Signia Pure Charge&Go IX, based on Signia’s latest Integrated Xperience (IX) platform.

Signia's notch therapy technology provides a specialized, less intrusive treatment for tinnitus, alongside traditional noise masking options.

Unique Tinnitus Solutions

Most hearing aid manufacturers have adopted a "one size fits all" strategy for helping tinnitus sufferers—they simply mask the tinnitus sounds (with more noise) to cover the ringing or buzzing. There's nothing wrong with that, it's proven to work, but it's not ideal for many people. Just think about it—why add more noise into your ears?

Signia, on the other hand, has a proprietary approach called Notch Therapy. Unlike traditional methods, notch therapy targets and reduces the specific frequency of the tinnitus sound, offering a more focused, less intrusive, and quieter treatment.

Signia's Own Voice Processing technology ensures natural and clear self-voice amplification, distinct from ambient sounds, for a comfortable hearing experience.

Own Voice Processing™ (OVP) for Natural Sound

One of the most common complaints among hearing aid users is the unnatural sounding amplification of their own voice. It can sound loud, boomy, and sort of echoey. That's actually normal, and all users of all hearing aid brands notice that at first, but it's not ideal. The problem is, hearing aids struggle to differentiate between external sounds and the wearer's voice.

Signia's Own Voice Processing (OVP) technology addresses this problem by processing the wearer's voice separately from other ambient noises, and turning the wearer's voice down. This separation allows for a more natural and comfortable hearing experience, ensuring that one's voice is heard clearly and naturally, without the discomfort associated with over-amplification.

Signia combines technological excellence with stylish design in hearing aids like the discreet Silk Charge&GO IX and the elegant Styletto AX, catering to both auditory and aesthetic needs.

Aesthetic Appeal Meets Functionality

Let's face it— most hearing aids look like tired, boring devices. The reality is, they are cool little supercomputers inside your ears, so why shouldn't their appearance reflect how cutting-edge the tech actually is? Design is one area where Signia has always stood out among competitors.

The Signia Styletto IX, a receiver-in-canal model, proves hearing aids can be fashion-forward accessories, with it's sleek lines and striking color choices. And for those who prioritze subtletly, the Signia Silk Charge&GO IX model tucks discreetly inside the ear and avoids that beige "peanut" look of so many in-the-ear hearing aids.

While Signia’s in-the-ear models are unique in the marketplace, they have a few shortcomings, and the custom in-ear models haven’t met our customers’ expectations.

In-Ear Model Areas for Improvement

Signia's receiver-in-canal models like Pure Charge&GO IX have earned rave reviews from our customers. The in-the-ear products on the other hand, have not proven to be as well-received as the other styles.

Case in point, the in-the-ear Insio Charge&GO IX model, which has suffered from an extraordinarly high return rate of nearly 50%. Our customers have complained that they're bulky, not comfortable, and don't offer nearly as good of sound quality as the more popular RIC styles.

Signia hearing aids' limitation to connect with only one Bluetooth device at a time can be cumbersome for users who frequently switch between multiple devices like smartphones and laptops.

Missing Features and Connectivity Hiccups

The 'Signia App', which is used (among other things), to adjust the sound settings of the hearing aids and stream calls, is desparetely lacking a 'find my hearing aid' feature. Most other manufacturers have this feature at this point, and it can help you locate lost hearing aids and prevent you having to shell out thousands of dollars for a replacement set.

And while Signia's Bluetooth connectivity offers seamless integration for iOS users, Android users often find themselves needing an extra accessory, the Signia StreamLine Mic, to access full functionality. Another limitation is the hearing aids' ability to connect to only one Bluetooth device at a time, which is not ideal if you use multiple devices.

Conclusion

If you have a mild-moderate hearing loss and prefer receiver-in-canal style hearing aids, or the sleek in-the-ear Silk Charge&GO IX model, we think Signia is a great choice. If you're more interested in custom products, we're not sure this is the brand for you. In addition Signia's focus on innovative tinnitus solutions makes them a standout choice for the millions of people suffering from tinnitus. One thing to note is Signia's product range is huge, they currently have close to 10 models available to buy, so you'll definitely want the guidance of a local hearing care provider who is very knowledgeable on Signia's offerings to help guide you to the correct product.

A Signia hearing care provider wirelessly connects to Signia hearing aids via an industry-standard programming device called Noahlink Wireless, or Signia's own device, called ConnexxAir. Once connected, the hearing aids are programmed via a proprietary programming software that is only available to hearing care providers, called Connexx.

Signia hearing aid models compared

Believe it or not, there are well over 10 different models of Signia hearing aids to choose from. So where does one even begin? For starters, we’d recommend focusing on the newest models from Signia, which have ‘IX’ in their name. ‘IX’ stands for ‘Integrated Xperience,’ and if you see that in the model name, it means that model is built with Signia’s newest technology platform and is the best they have to offer.

If you narrow your options to the IX models, that leaves you with a few choices: Signia Pure Charge&Go IX, or Signia Silk Charge&Go IX. The Pure Charge&Go IX model is Signia’s flagship model, and if the most important thing to you is getting the best overall sound quality and comfortability, this is the model you should select. If on the other hand, you desire the most discreet, in-ear hearing aid possible, the rechargeable Silk Charge&Go IX is going to be the best fit. One thing to note is the Signia Pure Charge&Go IX hearing aid can accommodate mild to severe hearing losses, while the Silk Charge&Go IX would only be appropriate for mild to moderate hearing losses.

Now, outside of the ‘IX’ platform, Signia does still offer some compelling hearing aids that have something different to offer from the 2 models listed above: Signia Insio Charge&Go AX, Signia Styletto IX, Signia Pure 312 AX, and Signia Active X. Signia Insio Charge&Go AX is a custom molded in-ear rechargeable hearing aid for mild to severe hearing loss. Signia Styletto IX is Signia’s most fashion-forward, sleek, receiver-in-canal style hearing aid, for mild to severe hearing loss. Signia Pure 312 AX is Signia’s newest disposable battery powered receiver-in-canal style hearing aid, for mild to severe hearing loss. Finally, Signia Active X is Signia’s attempt at making a hearing aid look more like a Bluetooth earpiece, with the target audience being folks who might not be ready to wear what looks like a traditional hearing aid. Active X is best for first time users with mild to moderate hearing loss.

While the chart below provides a high-level comparison of Signia models, your local Signia provider is also a valuable resource. They can assist in determining the most suitable model for your specific needs and situation.

What needs improving

Now like all companies their hearing aids aren't without faults. I have long wished for Signia to insert an LED light on the physical housing of their Receiver in the Ear Canal hearing aids so that when users manually power them off/on that they can see an indicator flashing and confirm that it was done so successfully. Most users just power them off on the charger which is a breeze, however some may want to power them off when going to the pool or beach in our warm Florida climate. Also, the A/X chip is their first to support the ASHA protocol for Binaural content streaming from Android mobile phones. Although this is a major leap and one most manufacturers do not support, I still feel that Iphone users will still have a much smoother listening experience when streaming VS the Android users. Nevertheless, these cons dont take away from the incredible listening experience they are providing and I will continue recommending their products for most consumers when appropriate.

I would like to see Signia reach the level of Bluetooth streaming capabilities that Phonak has reached. As of now, only certain Android phones can stream phone calls and other audio into Signia hearing aids.

On the negative side of Signia, I find that they are a little conservative when I ask them to make deep or long custom instruments. I think they tend to give insertion comfort priority over power requirements when building their custom shells. Sometime we just need to make the hearing aids as deep into the ear as possible and they hold back a little

Their RIC devices don't fit all ear canals comfortably. We'd love to see a curve in the speaker outlet for a better all-around fit

What needs improving

Signia makes a great “off the shelf” RIC product but their shell lab is lacking. Despite being the first hearing aid manufacturer to develop scanning technology of ears to make custom products, those models typically don’t fit well. This is puzzling and find myself looking to different hearing manufacturer when a patient wants a custom products or needs earmolds. I would like to see Signia work on its advertising and market penetration. Signia has shrunk in terms of name recognition the last 4-5 years, likely due to more aggressive marketing by several of its competitors. As a hearing aid dispenser, this sometimes makes it tough to encourage patients to try their product if they are not as familiar with the Signia brand as much as other manufacturers.

What needs improving

Even though Signia is in most cases my go to hearing aid hearing for my customers, I do find that the super power hearing aids users can prefer another manufacturer's sound quality from time to time. It would also be very helpful if they came out with a rechargeable custom hearing aid to their hearing aid technology portfolio.

Signia hearing aid prices

Signia hearing aid prices are really all over the place. A quick Google search for their flagship model, Pure Charge&GO IX, will show retailers selling the same exact model from between $1299 each up to $2699 each. What gives? It mostly comes down to how the hearing aid is sold, and what kind of aftercare (if any) is included. Signia, unlike many other manufacturers, isn't really known for tightly controlling how their retailers sell their hearing aids, and that means you really have a lot of options when it comes to buying a Signia hearing aid. Here's a summary of your options:

Direct-to-consumer (mail order): If you have a recent hearing test you can email or upload it to a number of different retailers' websites and they'll remotely program the hearing aids and mail them out to you. This is the cheapest way to buy Signia, but it comes at a cost—not getting local care, and not knowing if your hearing aids are setup correctly, and not having someone locally to rely on for service and maintenance. Signia advises against mail order sales due to the lack of in-person professional fitting and support, as stated on their website.

Local Signia provider: Purchasing directly from a local distributor can be more expensive, often exceeding $6,000 for a pair of Signia's best hearing aids. This is the easiest way to buy Signia, and it's how most people actually do it. The hearing provider you buy from will usually include several years of follow-up services at no additional cost. To buy from a local provider, you can use this tool on Signia’s website to locate nearby distributors and arrange a consultation.

Discount networks: Companies like ZipHearing offer discount pricing on Signia, often saving customers 30% or more on hearing aids while still providing access to local care. This option is ideal for people who want to save up to 30% on hearing aids, have a good idea of what they want, don't anticipate needing much follow up care.
