A well presented overview covering details of the whole of signia’s new hearing aids. Thank you Matthew as always!!!

[@HearingTracker]

Thank you for your kind words! 😀Matthew

[@ErikRoseJohnsen]

Rechargeable, no question about it.

[@HearingTracker]

I am a big fan Erik! Matthew

[@vadec5909]

Rechargeable for sure

[@HearingTracker]

Thanks for sharing Vadec! Matthew

[@vadec5909]

I would love these, but sadly Costco doesn’t have them. Maybe they will in the future get something similar. Instead of having 3 the same

[@HearingTracker]

It would be great if they did, but as far as I know, there's no similar product available yet. Matthew

[@DaveHayNBPT]

I’d wear these! I have a regular set hearing aids that I don’t wear because I don’t like the look and I’m bald so they can’t be hidden with hair. And being rechargeable

[@HearingTracker]

I think that’s a great reason to look into them! Matthew

Hello - Thx for the introduction to signia active pro ix. I am a mid fourty guy - like the bud-style. And have buds/headset anway for work lots of hours a day. After testing the "best" signia in ear hearing aids - I was missing the normal integration with Teams or the Iphone/Android. Also normal airpods could not come up with x connection - I have severe hearing loss on the left. Recharging chould be normal ;) works great, makes it easier wheater proof - the case lets you put them finely away and charge in parallel. Big numbers like 192000 points - beamforming - is NOTHING new - maybe in the hearing aid tech. I worked 20years ago already with more then 70 beamformed microfones

[@HearingTracker]

Thanks for sharing Johnny. I think I follow, On this occasion I could only suggest the LE audio connection with your iPhone/iPad for teams. Matthew

[@DaveHayNBPT]

When do these come out?

[@HearingTracker]

Hey Dave they’re available now 😊 Matthew

[@weedywet]

I don't want to look lime I'm wearing earbuds out to dinner or in a meeting either. Which is why I'd still choose the CIC Silk IX or the (made by them) Sony CRE-C20 over these, even though it gives up Bluetooth

[@HearingTracker]

Totally get it! The new Active Pro line is more visible than the Silk and Sony offerings! Matthew

[@cjsmeanderings9362]

These look great, but I’m sold due to Bluetooth LE Audio and the charging case! This is a nice upgrade versus the Signia Insio 5 AX ITC I used to have but replaced with Jabra Pro 20-Costco (due to the above & $$$). I am very happy with Jabra, but I would like to get back to the ‘AirPod’ style as it better fits my active lifestyle. Could this new model be a little more discreet than my old Signia’s? Thanks

[@HearingTracker]

I think this might be a good option for you! I would say they’re more discrete yes! Let us know how you get along if you go for them! Matthew

[@JKTURBORED]

How do these physically compare to the original Active model? I tried the first model and the shape did not work comfortably in my ear canal.

[@HearingTracker]

Hey JK, I think you'll have the same issues with these then. Matthew

[@tarekkhoury5159]

In your experience which brand have airbuds style with software to do Sound calibration , please advise

[@HearingTracker]

Hey Tarek, I'm not sure I follow, could you expand? Matthew

[@DaveHayNBPT]

Can they stream music?

[@adrianzanetti9809]

Yes they do. I have had them for a few weeks. The only thing is to remember the aids are focussed on hearing rather than music streaming and I don’t find them as good as my previous bone conduction. That said there is some configurability and I am getting more used to them

[@hearshearinghearables343]

Yes. :)

[@HearingTracker]

Yes they have Bluetooth

[@dermotearls7088]

I still prefer the battery versions

[@HearingTracker]

I would love to know why demotearls? Matthew

[@dermotearls7088]

I have a Signia Insio 7AX. The charger is quite bulky and needs mains. Also with a battery, easier to carry around and easier to get batteries in lots of places on the go if necessary. Batteries last a few days usually rather than 1

[@judimaundrell6989]

Batteries!

[@HearingTracker]

Thanks for sharing Judi!

Non prescriptive (or OTC) hearing aids are meant to encourage those who never used a hearing aid before or "stepping stone" before getting a full blown $1000+ device So "OTC hearing aid" have to be: (compared to a $1000+ real hearing aid) a) reduce in cost b) only some built-in conversation enhancement features + transparency mode c) good streaming music (occlusion), if doesn't 'conversation features' work (or noticeable benefit, before thinking of forking out $1000+) d) not necessary a full day wearer e.g. who never worn glasses / familiar before e) but rechargeable for convenience
