Styles
Signia has introduced a new design-style BTE in to its range in 2018. This in-vogue aid takes design innovation to a new level and ensures Signia hearing devices are contemporary, stylish and beautiful to look at. The following hearing aid styles are available, depending on the model of hearing aid chosen. Discuss with your hearing healthcare professional what is most appropriate for your hearing needs:
1. Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
The most familiar style of hearing aid with all components cased in a piece that sits behind the ear. The Signia BTE family includes:
> Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) style – small device behind the ear with an ultra-thin tube carrying a wire to a small plug (dome or mould) in your ear
> Styletto – resembling a piece of jewellery this is a Slim RIC style of BTE.
3. In-the-ear (ITE)
A custom made hearing aid, where a hearing professional takes an impression of your ear. This larger custom style is easier to handle for those with dexterity issues.
4. In-the-canal (ITC)
A smaller version of above, offering a more discreet hearing aid style.
Three Performance Levels
- 7Nx – platinum tier of technology
- 5Nx – gold tier technology
- 3Nx – silver tier technology
The higher the performance level, the more features you will find on the hearing aid and the more programming ability your hearing healthcare professional will have to customise your device to suit your specific needs. Some people have complex hearing needs. If you fall into that range, higher performance levels will provide more solutions, delivering improved hearing across a wider range of settings. Signia wants to give you brilliant hearing in a stylish device. Discuss your communication needs with your hearing care professional to help determine the performance level that’s right for you.
Features
- Own Voice Processing (OVP) – most hearing aid users want their own voice to sound natural to them, and this is often overlooked in hearing aid technology – but not with Signia’s Nx platform. OVP gives you back your voice, making it sound like it should – natural. Your voice is processed separately from the rest of the sounds entering your hearing aid and gives you the natural voice quality you want.
- Directional speech enhancement – enhancing your ability to hear speech in all environments and from all directions. This feature will reduce signals not coming from in front of you, to improve your understanding of speech, even in noisy situations.
- 3D Classifier – when you move around, your listening is challenged. The 3D classifier feature takes motion information from an app on your smartphone, and adds other information about your environment and communication needs. It will work out the directional state of the speech the wearer is listening to and adjust your hearing aid to give a brilliant listening experience, even while going for a jog!
- Ultra HD e2e – will give your hearing aid sophisticated directionality for improved speech intelligibility in challenging listening situations, providing data exchange between your ears. This technology includes Spatial SpeechFocus, Narrow Directionality and Speech Quality features.
- Bluetooth connectivity – direct streaming of phone calls, TV and music can be enjoyed with this feature when connected to your smartphone
- myControl App – this App for your Smartphone will allow you to control, monitor and personalise your hearing aid experience. It will give you information about what’s happening with your hearing aid, in the moment.
- TeleCare – another application for your smartphone which will allow you to keep in contact with your hearing healthcare provider, who can give you support remotely, in real time.
