Audiological Innovation: Revolutionary Platforms

Signia's commitment to world-class audiology is evident in its revolutionary hearing aid platforms.

Signia Augmented Xperience (AX)

The AX platform is a groundbreaking audiological advancement, featuring Augmented Focus™. This technology uses two separate processors that work together to focus on speech sounds while placing ambient sounds in the background, delivering outstanding comfort and clarity.

94% of wearers report excellent speech understanding with Signia AX.
90% satisfaction in background noise for Xperience hearing aids.

Augmented Focus™: This core technology separates speech from background noise using two processors. Speech is processed linearly and uncompressed for clarity, bringing it closer to the wearer. Ambient sounds are processed with higher spatial resolution and compression, keeping them at a distance. This split processing allows for optimization of different sounds without compromise, enabling wearers to focus on conversations while remaining engaged with their environment.

Key Audiological Features:

Auto EchoShield™: Minimizes reverberation and echoes in any room for better conversation understanding.
Own Voice Processing 2.0 (OVP 2.0): Processes the wearer's own voice separately for natural comfort and confidence, combined with optimized processing of ambient sounds.
HandsFree with CallControl (iOS): Allows AX hearing aids to function as a headset for hands-free calls on iPhones.
Upgraded eWindScreen™: Reduces wind noise for clearer outdoor communication.
e2e Wireless 4.0: Enhances binaural hearing with faster data transmission and reduced latency for precise directional awareness and clearer speech processing.
Direct Streaming: For iPhone (iOS) and Android™ devices, enabling seamless audio streaming.
Enhanced Feedback Cancellation: Synchronizes feedback cancellation between ears for a smoother sound experience.
Increased Input Dynamic Range: Handles signals up to 117dB for excellent sound quality, ideal for scenarios like concerts.
TruEar 360™: Mimics the natural pinna effect for improved sound localization.
Automatic Situation Detection: Adapts to acoustic and motion changes in the environment for optimized audibility and speech understanding.

Statistics:

Wearers report more than 25% better speech understanding in noise compared to their own previous hearing aids.
3 out of 4 wearers experience less listening effort with AX.

Visual Description of Augmented Focus: A diagram illustrates how Signia AX's two separate processors capture speech and environmental noise independently. Augmented Focus then combines these, bringing speech forward for better understanding and managing environmental sounds for a quality described as better than normal hearing. A graph shows improved Speech Reception Thresholds (SRTs) with Signia AX compared to conventional hearing aids, indicating better performance in noise.

Signia leads with innovative designs that appeal to a broader audience and drive patient conversions. Products range from performance-driven standard designs to discreet options for fighting stigma.
