Key Features and Benefits
The Signia IX series introduces several technological advancements that can improve your hearing experience:
- Augmented Xperience: Uses two separate processors to handle speech and background noise independently, providing clearer speech understanding.
- Own Voice Processing (OVP): Processes your own voice separately from other sounds, creating a more natural hearing experience.
- Acoustic-Motion Sensors: Optimize your hearing based on your movement and the acoustic environment.
- Signia Assistant: An AI-powered digital assistant available through the Signia app, offering 24/7 support and personalized sound adjustments.
- Face Mask Mode: Improves speech understanding when talking to someone wearing a face mask.
Potential Limitations
The IX series boasts advanced features, but you should be aware of possible drawbacks:
- Adjustment Period: The dual processing technology may require time to adapt to, especially for first-time hearing aid users.
- Cost: As premium devices, IX models may be pricier than basic hearing aids. We discuss various options to find a solution that fits your needs and budget.
- Smartphone Compatibility: Some advanced features work best with smartphone connectivity, which might not suit all users.
- Size Variations: While generally discreet, the size of the devices may vary based on the model and power level needed.
Proper Fitting Matters
The effectiveness of any IX model relies heavily on correct fitting and programming. At The Audiology METHOD, we use Real Ear Measurements (REM) for every fitting. This process fine-tunes your hearing aids to your specific needs and ear canal characteristics.
REM verifies that the IX provides appropriate amplification across all frequencies, optimizing benefits and reducing issues such as feedback or discomfort.
Is a Signia IX Model Right for You?
Selecting the most suitable Signia IX model depends on several factors:
- Your degree and type of hearing loss
- Your lifestyle and common listening environments
- Your comfort with technology and smartphone use
- Your preference for rechargeable or disposable batteries
- Your budget constraints
During your consultation, we'll explore these factors, conduct a comprehensive hearing assessment, and consider your preferences to determine if an IX model best meets your needs, and which one.
Our Professional Recommendation
The Signia IX series offers impressive technology, but it may not be the ideal choice for everyone. As audiologists, we aim to identify the most appropriate solution for each patient. Sometimes this might be an IX model, but other times, a different model or brand could work better.
For those who value clear speech understanding in complex listening environments, the IX could be an excellent fit. Here's how we might recommend different IX models:
- The Pure Charge&Go IX offers a discreet, rechargeable option suitable for most hearing losses. It's ideal for those who prefer convenience and minimal maintenance.
- The Pure 312 IX provides a similar discreet option with the flexibility of disposable batteries, which some users prefer.
- The Motion Charge&Go IX is a good choice for those with more severe hearing loss or who prefer a slightly larger device for easier handling.
- The Insio Charge&Go IX is perfect for those prioritizing discretion with the convenience of rechargeability.
The performance level (7X, 5X, or 3X) we recommend will depend on your lifestyle, listening environments, and specific hearing needs.
We suggest scheduling a consultation to discuss your specific requirements, try different options, and decide together on the best hearing solution for you.
