Signia Active Pro IX: Redefining Hearing Aid Design
Signia is expanding the hearing aid market with the introduction of the Signia Active Pro IX, a device that reimagines hearing aids as consumer-style earbuds. This product is designed to appeal to individuals with hearing loss who may resist traditional hearing aid designs but still seek superior performance during activities such as exercising, working, or socializing.
The Signia Active Pro IX is available in various colors, features a rechargeable battery for all-day use, and includes a convenient charging case for on-the-go recharging. Similar to consumer earbuds, it supports Bluetooth connectivity for audio streaming and hands-free smartphone communication. With its IP68 rating, the Active Pro IX is resistant to dust, water, and sweat, making it ideal for active users.
Expanding Access to Innovative Hearing Technology
To further broaden its market reach, Signia is launching the Active IX earbuds, which offer the same modern earbud design as the Active Pro IX at a more affordable price. The Active IX features advanced technologies such as Signia’s Augmented Focus, automatic directionality, and audio streaming connectivity. By offering both the Active Pro IX and Active IX at different technology levels, Signia demonstrates its commitment to making cutting-edge hearing technology more accessible.
Signia is also introducing the IX Essentials line in the U.S. market, expanding the Integrated Xperience portfolio with performance levels 2IX and 1IX across select models, including Signia Pure Charge&Go IX, Styletto IX, Silk Charge&Go IX, and Insio IX hearing aids. This expansion ensures that more people can benefit from the Integrated Xperience platform, enjoying the enhanced conversational capabilities it provides.
“Signia Active Pro IX offers our HCP partners a modern, low-profile solution for people who need to boost their hearing but might not otherwise accept hearing aids right now,” said Jens Møller, Global Head of Signia Brand. “In addition to a contemporary earbud design, Signia Active Pro IX delivers the full power of Integrated Xperience technology, empowering wearers to reconnect with conversations and engage fully regardless of their environment.”
