Just the ticket if you dont like the idea of hearing aids!!!
So without giving too much away, I’m in my early 40’s and I have a mild high pitch hearing loss from playing guitar in bands and gigs, etc early in my youth without ear protection… of course, I luckily at the minute do not have tinnitus but I do notice from time to time the TV has to be up a little, etc but overall I do ok. I am only talking about 15bdhl at 4khz but it does give me an advantage when testing and making judgments on hearing products, I can tell a difference when I have in some demo aids…but would I wear a hearing aid daily…well I’m not quite ready even if I provide this service to other people.
However…would I wear the active pro’s from Signia…Well I already am.
If you have looked at my previous posts you will see what the Xperience chip does and the same chip is firmly cemented in these beauties! It’s a great processor and has become my go-to technology for many clients as it’s easy to wear, it’s got great sound as well as the own voice features, etc.
The Active pro just screams cool, it has the same colour schemes as the brilliant Signia Styletto X and delivers in a similar way…unique and different to the competition.
Many manufacturers claim to have better signal processing, machine learning, best in class this and that, but, time and time again I come back to the X chip and for me, it’s astonishingly satisfied customers.
The main difference here is younger folks like me (cough) might just talk an earlier step on the ladder to improving hearing earlier - let’s keep it simple, these can be fitted with open domes that really do work so you can feel lightweight (admittedly a closed dome does improve music reproduction) but I found a great balance between with a semi-open tulip style dome.
The App and the Signia assistant are easy on the iPhone (android no call streaming or music hear sorry to say, but still there is an app for volume and just hearing aid).
I love mine…they are great and when I need a lift in hearing it’s there!
Teenagers, Millenials, and anyone young at heart will just prefer these to the traditional hearing aids, and when things get a bit needier for hearing there’s always the styletto X!
Review:
