Signia Silk Charge&Go IX Feature Review: Is this the Best Invisible Hearing Aid 2023?

[@HearingTracker]

What do you think? Would you prefer this over a conventional CIC? Matthew

[@macigov]

I bought PURE 7IX after 7AX. It is AMAZING, just love it! Big improvement!

[@HearingTracker]

I'm delighted to hear that. I would love to know the differences that you've experienced? Matthew

[@macigov]

@@HearingTrackerfirst of all, Huge difference in “Noisy environment“ mode, I think thats the new technology they have presented. Its like really working, I was skeptical when switching, but it is truly amazing. 2. Battery life, I have T IX model with bigger battery, use it whole day with heavy streaming and at the end of the day I have 60% remaining. 3. Overall hearing and speech recognition improved as well, I can’t tell how much better, but I can tell I am not asking to repeat so often as I used to. P.S. I have absolutely the same configuration and settings as in 7AX, so i can compare side by side.

​@@macigovsome one told.me that this Pure isn't so good if you speak with more than 2 people in the same time. How do you comment? thanks

[@macigov]

⁠@@VLiviuhmm, never noticed any problem with 2 person conversation, but using it since 4th of November, trust me this is big difference after AX. The more i use the more better it gets.

[@VLiviu]

@@macigov I have an appointment with my audiologist tomorrow for REM and fitting, hopefully I will like it 🤐 I bet I need a custom mold.

I have been wearing the Signia Silk X (battery version) since June (my first hearing aid). This week, my audiologist upgraded me to the Silk IX. I have only had it for less than a week, so I don't know how much different they will perform vs the old battery version. So far, they are at least marginally better. I do like the rechargeable feature. In general, these hearing aids are virtually invisible in my ears and so comfortable that I can't feel them. I LOVE the ability to change programs and volume from my Android app. Before I got the original Signia Silk X Hearing Aids I tried the Eargo 7's which I thought were GOOD. I would consider the Signia Silk IX GREAT! So far, they are at least marginally better. UPDATE: For some reason, they made the removal string longer in this model, so they stick out of my ear and are very noticeable now. Kinda defeats the purpose of an "invisible" hearing aid! No, you can't see the hearing aid, but you have obvious alien antennas sticking out of your ears! That is disappointing.

[@HearingTracker]

Jeff this is amazing feedback have written in the comments. Thank you for sharing with everyone investigating looking into hearing tech! Matthew

[@jeffshamus1914]

@@HearingTracker Hey Matthew - see my update! Removal strings are too long now!

[@michaelduchene6656]

@@jeffshamus1914 Yep... I thought the IX removal strings looked loner than the X (and nX) removal string. It would be understandable (although equally as cosmetically unappealing) **IF** they had embedded a Bluetooth antenna in the removal string.

[@miracoli16]

Just heat them up and bend them!

[@OrapelengTawana]

Alien antennas 😅 lol but how are you going to remove the aids if they don't have the antennas? 😅

[@carlacorral5992]

Fantastic review Matthew. This technology sounds amazing😊

[@dougshepherd244]

I have the silk 5nx model currently which I'm pretty happy with generally and are definitely the most natural sounding and most comfortable aids I've worn. When the time comes to upgrade I will definitely be interested in looking at these

[@samuelchek5059]

Excited.

[@HearingTracker]

Hey Samuel, I've fitted a fair few since they were released and patients seem pretty happy so far! Thanks for watching, Matthew

[@VLiviu]

​@@HearingTrackersounds really successful. ​​some one told me that this Pure isn't so good if you speak with more than 2 people in the same time. How do you comment? thanks

[@russellscott1548]

I’m on my first pair of hearing aids - Resound One 5 with the MIRE. I would definitely consider these as I would prefer something more invisible

[@bulentosman7347]

Excellent video review Matthew. I wear Phonak RIC P90s but would like to switch to these new CIC Silk IXs, especially as the slim case holds a charge (like my Apple AirPod Pros). I like the form factor but I will miss having Bluetooth to stream calls and listen to music/podcasts. Do you think with these in my ears, there will be enough space to comfortably wear a pair of Apple AirPods Pros as well for calls and streaming? If so, would I be able to hear the AirPods' output enhanced for my ears through the hearing aids? Finally, as I have near single sided deafness, would this set up still work if I had the bi-cross version of these Silks? Thank you for everything you do, keep up the great work 🙌

[@BLUESCHAMPS]

Thanks Matthew, great video and very well weighted. Do you of any ITC/CIC that are rechargeable and have bluetooth? I've hear Signia Insio Charge&Go AX Hearing Aids are ITC but doesn't seem to be the case.

[@JonathanRyan-g4f]

Hi there, can these be used with earbuds/headphones? Thanks

[@teddzik7843]

Any idea what the captive battery lifetime is? If it fails, can it be replaced?

[@HearingTracker]

Hey Tedd, Signia are advertising 24hours per charge. Yes it can be changed but its a trip back to the manufacturer for it to be done. Great question, Matthew

[@mdavis05]

Will these work well for a very steep sloping high frequency hearing loss? Normal hearing at 2000 to 70 db at 4000 to 8000?

[@wobi_GER]

Do you already know when the firmware update for BL Audio LE is supposed to be?

[@HearingTracker]

Hey Michael, this will only be relevant to the Pure RIC models. There's no news so far, but I think we'll see some movement when Auracast starts rolling out across the globe. I'll keep you posted when I hear anything, Matthew

[@donfarrell2359]

I thought these silks have the low e hardware installed .. just will need the firmware update? Can you confirm?

[@simplytruth9729]

Have they ever tried to design an aide that is in the shape of an earring? Clip on maybe or...? It could use the same string (?) as the over the ear aide. It would be less of a vanity issue than behind the ear.

[@richdiorio3650]

How would you compare this to the Eargo 7?

[@andywilliams9240]

Great video. I’d love to try them and compare to the lumity RIC’s

[@richdiorio3650]

The Signi Charge and Go IX is a self fitting product. I heard that you can get the snap on dome custom made for your ears, do you know if that's true?

[@aaaazzzzyyyy]

How much does it cost in europe, sp3cially normally 1:29

[@tongnguyen2010]

With model Silk X , can I hear youtube music on my android smartphone , bluetooth on signia app ?

[@HearingTracker]

Hey Tongnguyen, great question. There’s no Bluetooth streaming sadly. I hope this helps, Matthew

[@tongnguyen2010]

@@HearingTracker Thank you so much, how the model insio Charge&Go AX ?

[@michaelduchene6656]

Does the wireless connectivity work any better, or any more consistently, than the 5nX (worn previously) or 5X (worn currently)?Successfully connecting to the (Android) smartphone app via inaudible high frequency signal works MAYBE a third of the time; all the other times nothing at all happens. There is no "pattern" in this success or failure and this is also the case if using the pocket remote. (Only one of these methods can be used at a time and re-pairing must be done to "switch" methods). Rebooting the phone, rebooting the hearing aids and even having the audiologist re-pair the aids doesn't help. Other than this issue I am "relatively" happy with these devices and would consider a CIC Signia IX device when the time comes. I don't need Bluetooth (it wasn't "original equipment" when I was born :-)) and I am far too active, nor am I interested in, RIC style devices.

[@miracoli16]

10:21 as far as i know custom-made tips are possible for these devices.

A Los audífonos SILK IX CHARGE AND GO si se les puede fabricar un molde a medida junto con las características acústicas que nosotros los audiólogos necesitemos, se llama EARMOLD a medida y está descrito en la guía para especialistas de audición.. Un abrazo y gracias por tu contenido.
