As one of the world’s smallest hearing aids, the Signia Silk Nx is an incredibly discreet completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aid that becomes invisible when in the ear. To produce the Silk Nx, an impression is taken of your ear to create a 3D-printed or hand-made hearing aid shell. This shell houses the electronic and hearing aid components. There is no fitting process required with the Silk Nx, the soft-silicone sleeves the device uses are molded to the contours of your ear canals. This means your hearing aids can be fitted into your ear canal immediately. The Silk Nx by Signia comes in three different technology levels to suit different hearing needs, tech preferences and budgets:

• Basic: Silk Nx 3Nx
• Mid-range: Silk Nx 5Nx
• Premium: Silk Nx 7Nx

Despite it being packed with the latest hearing aid technology and innovative features, the Signia Silk is incredibly small and up to 20% smaller than its predecessor, the Signia Silk Primax. The Silk Nx has Ultra HD e2e which enables a pair of hearing aids to equally share audio and data between them while being able to fully optimize the listening experience, even in noisy settings.

The Silk Nx range is also the first hearing aids with the ability to process the wearer’s voice separately from everything else, giving a much more natural and comfortable sound. The Silk Nx is Bluetooth-enabled, allowing it to connect with smartphones and Bluetooth devices, while it’s the only CIC device that offers CROS (Contra-lateral Routing of Signal) for people with hearing loss in one ear that cannot be helped by the use of a hearing aid.

The Signia Silk Nx price varies depending on where you purchase the hearing aids. However, you can expect to pay upwards from $1,399.

• miniPocket: Keyring-sized remote control app for discreetly and conveniently controlling your hearing aids without needing to use a smartphone or large remote control
