Siemens or Signia Hearing Aids: Which One To Choose?
Siemens is one of the most famous brands in the electronics industry. This familiarity and brand trust make it a desirable option for many people, including those opting for a hearing aid for the first time.
However, in 2014, Siemens’ hearing aids division sold off its hearing aids division, Siemens Hearing Instruments, to a German investor. The new company was named Sivantos Hearing Instruments.
Sivantos later rebranded its products to ‘Signia’.
In short, Siemens hearing aids and Signia are one and the same.
Signia operates through the same R&D team, manufacturing units, and distribution networks in Germany today.
Siemens branded hearing aids were discontinued in the market approximately in the year 2019/20.
Why Go For Signia Hearing Aids?
Signia, apart from being the new-age hearing aids maker, has introduced a plethora of new products bundled with technologies exclusive to them.
Following are some of the newer products from their extensive catalogue:
Augmented Xperience of Signia Hearing Aids
These hearing aids use augmented reality, which is understandable from their branding. Thus, sounds you are focused on appear slightly closer than in reality and crisp and clear with full dynamics, while background noises are weakened.
Signia Styletto Series
This series is the world’s 1st slim RIC (Receiver In Canal) hearing aid with a sophisticated and thin profile. This adds comfort to your ear and is loaded with Android/iPhone connectivity and a long battery life running up to 3 days on a single charge!
Signia Active Pro
This series features an award-winning earbud design to bridge the gap between hearing aids and consumer electronics. The adoption rate of the Active Pro series is high since it resembles Apple’s uber-popular earbuds called Airpods in terms of features. This makes it easier to convince your loved ones to use hearing aids.
Insio Charge&Go AX
Insio Charge&Go AX is the first custom hearing aid with lithium-ion contactless charging. Hence the name ‘Charge & Go’. This series can be customised to fit your ear, and combined with Bluetooth connectivity, you can stream phone calls, music, and TV sounds straight to the device.
All the Signia products come with an AI Digital Assistant and provide seamless connectivity via the Signia App. This app also helps you connect with hearing care professionals via your smartphone whenever you need remote support.
