The binax platform outperforms normal hearing in challenging sound environments and created the foundation for Signia’s first model, the primax. On the back of the primax platform, Signia has developed several hearing aids, including Signa’s Silk Nx hearing aid range.

The Signia Silk hearing aids are not only one of the smallest hearing aids available they are also one of the world’s first ready to wear custom-made hearing aids. While the process of being fitted for hearing aids was can prove time-consuming, the Signia Silk Nx has been a game-changer for the hearing aid market, providing a ready to wear, completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aid that becomes invisible when in the ear.

Instead of the traditional custom-fitting process, click sleeves, made out of soft-silicon are moulded to your ear canals for instant fitting. Alongside the small sleek design, the Silk Nx by Signia is available in three models and technology levels to suit different hearing needs, tech preferences and budgets:

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

The Signia Silk Nx is 20% smaller than the Signia Silk primax, providing users with ultimate discretion. It features Ultra HD e2e, enabling the hearing aids to communicate audio and other data across both hearing aids to fully optimise the user’s listening experience, even in the noisiest of environments. Signia Silk Nx hearing aids are the world’s first to be able to process the user’s voice separately from all other sounds to make hearing your voice much more comfortable and natural.

The only completely-in-canal (CIC) CROS (Contra-lateral Routing of Signal) device for people with hearing loss in one ear that cannot be assisted by a device, the Silk Nx can be used with smartphones thanks to their Bluetooth streaming capability.

The Signia Silk Nx price varies depending on where you purchase the hearing aids. However, you can expect to pay around $3,840 per pair.

Signia has a range of accessories and apps to enhance its Signia Nx range, for example:

• easyPocket: Hearing aid remote control with large buttons and an easy-to-read display
• miniPocket: A small remote control that fits on a keyring for discreetly adjusting hearing aids
• Click Sleeves: Flexible silicone sleeves are attached to the Signia Silk Nx hearing aids to provide instant wear without the time-consuming fitting process. Available in three sizes the Click Sleeves provide a comfortable fit for most ear canals
• touchControl: A phone app that works on iPhone or Android devices and works just like a hearing aid remote control by allowing users to change volume, programme features and settings

• Uses size 10 hearing aid batteries
