Signia: Innovating Hearing Technology for Enhanced Human Performance
In a world where communication is key, the ability to hear clearly can significantly impact one’s quality of life. Recognizing this need, Signia, a global leader in hearing aid technology, has made it its mission to enhance human performance through innovative solutions. Since its inception in 2016, Signia has consistently pushed the boundaries of hearing technology, introducing groundbreaking products that cater to diverse consumer needs. The latest addition to their impressive lineup is the Signia Active Pro IX, a revolutionary category of consumer earbuds that double as prescription-grade hearing aids.
The Integrated Xperience Platform
At the heart of Signia’s innovation is the Integrated Xperience (IX) hearing aid platform, which stands out as the world’s only hearing aid system equipped with RealTime Conversation Enhancement Technology. This cutting-edge feature utilizes split processing to independently enhance multiple conversation partners while simultaneously reducing distracting background noise. This means that wearers can engage in conversations without the interference of surrounding sounds, making social interactions more immersive and enjoyable.
RealTime Conversation Enhancement Technology
One of the most remarkable aspects of Signia’s offerings is the RealTime Conversation Enhancement technology. This advanced system employs a multi-stream architecture that can track and process up to four conversation partners in real-time. By analyzing and augmenting these interactions, the technology adapts to the dynamic nature of conversations, ensuring clarity and focus. Research has shown that 95% of participants using the Integrated Xperience platform reported improved speech clarity, with an impressive +12dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in noisy group settings. Furthermore, 80% of participants in a peer-reviewed study preferred using this technology in real-world environments, highlighting its effectiveness.
Introducing Signia Active Pro IX
Signia is redefining the hearing aid market with the introduction of the Signia Active Pro IX. This innovative device reimagines traditional hearing aids as stylish consumer earbuds, appealing to individuals who may be hesitant to wear conventional hearing aids. The Active Pro IX is designed for those who want superior auditory performance while engaging in everyday activities such as exercising, working, or socializing.
Available in a variety of colors, the Signia Active Pro IX features a rechargeable battery that ensures all-day use, complemented by a convenient charging case for on-the-go recharging. In addition to its hearing aid capabilities, it supports Bluetooth connectivity for seamless audio streaming and hands-free smartphone communication. With an IP68 rating, the Active Pro IX is resistant to dust, water, and sweat, making it an ideal choice for active users.
Expanding Access to Hearing Technology
To broaden its market reach, Signia is also launching the Active IX earbuds, which maintain the modern earbud design of the Active Pro IX but at a more accessible price point. The Active IX incorporates 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 to a wider audience.
In addition to these new products, Signia is introducing the IX Essentials line in the U.S. market, expanding the Integrated Xperience portfolio with performance levels 2IX and 1IX across select models. This includes the Signia Pure Charge&Go IX, Styletto IX, Silk Charge&Go IX, and Insio IX hearing aids. This expansion ensures that more individuals can benefit from the Integrated Xperience platform, enjoying enhanced conversational capabilities.
Empowering Hearing Care Professionals
Signia’s commitment to innovation goes hand in hand with its dedication to empowering hearing care professionals (HCPs). By providing HCPs with state-of-the-art tools and technologies, Signia enables them to offer their clients the best possible solutions for hearing loss. Jens Møller, Global Head of Signia Brand, emphasizes this commitment: “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. 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.”

With the launch of the Signia Active Pro IX and its commitment to accessibility through the Active IX and IX Essentials lines, Signia is not only redefining the hearing aid market but also ensuring that more people can experience the joy of clear communication.
