Signia was an<\/span> early mover in the in-ear hearing aid<\/a> world when it released its Active Pro<\/a> line two years ago, and the industry has continued to evolve dramatically since. While there are plenty more in-ear aids<\/a> on the market today, Signia\u2019s bread and butter is found in the more traditional side of the hearing aid world, with new behind-the-ear models launching regularly.<\/p>\n

The latest of these is the Pure Charge&Go IX<\/a>. The IX in the name isn\u2019t a Roman number nine but rather shorthand for Integrated Xperience, which Signia claims is \u201cthe world\u2019s first hearing tech platform capable of pinpointing multiple conversation partners in real time, providing unprecedented sound clarity and definition for wearers in multi-speaker scenarios.\u201d The company says the IX is built around a wholly new platform focused on optimizing multiparty conversations in noisy environments. The ability to \u201cprocess speech separate from background sounds,\u201d the company says, means you can still inhabit your environment without overpowering dialog\u2014tracking multiple speakers without the wearer even having to turn their head.<\/p>\n

Signia says the hearing aids are so good they improve the listening experience even if you don\u2019t have a hearing impairment<\/em>. My hearing loss is mild but measurable\u2014and holding steady, based on a new audiogram that was created in the process of writing this review\u2014so I had high hopes that the days of asking for people to repeat themselves, then nodding and smiling when I didn\u2019t catch it the second time, were soon going away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But first, the fitting. Signia\u2019s Pure Charge&Go IX are not over-the-counter aids and rather require a professional fitting by an audiologist; this can be done online or in person, depending on the physician. I visited a local doctor who took me through a full hearing test to create a fresh audiogram and then fitted me with the aids and adjusted their programming onsite. The entire visit took about 45 minutes.<\/p>\n
