About Signia
Signia is a German hearing aid brand born from the legacy of Siemens, one of the most trusted names in hearing technology for over a century. Now part of WS Audiology, Signia continues to push the boundaries of what hearing aids can do with innovations like dual-processor technology and Own Voice Processing (OVP). Their approach: process speech and environmental sounds separately, then recombine them for the clearest, most natural listening experience possible.
Dr. Penaroza recommends Signia for patients who are particularly bothered by how their own voice sounds through hearing aids or who need superior speech clarity in complex listening situations.
Current Signia Models
Signia IX (Integrated Xperience)
Signia's newest platform represents a major leap forward. The IX features an enhanced dual-processor architecture that now handles conversations with multiple speakers, not just one-on-one situations. It can identify and follow different voices in a group conversation, making social gatherings significantly easier. Includes OVP 2.0, Bluetooth streaming, and rechargeable convenience.
Signia AX (Augmented Xperience)
The model that introduced Signia's revolutionary split-processing technology. Two independent processors handle speech and environment separately, creating an "augmented" sound experience where speech stands out clearly while environmental sounds remain natural and comfortable. Available in receiver-in-canal and custom styles with Own Voice Processing.
Why Dr. Penaroza Recommends Signia
- Dual-Processor Technology: The only hearing aid that processes speech and environment on separate processors, then intelligently recombines them for unmatched clarity.
- Own Voice Processing (OVP): Eliminates the "boomy" or hollow sound of your own voice that causes many people to reject hearing aids, a common reason first-time users stop wearing them.
- Multi-Speaker Focus: The IX platform can track and enhance multiple speakers in a group conversation, making social situations and family gatherings easier.
- Siemens Heritage: Over 100 years of German engineering excellence in hearing technology, now enhanced with modern AI and connectivity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Signia hearing aids different from other brands?
Signia is the only hearing aid brand that uses dual-processor technology to separately process speech and environmental sounds, then recombine them for a clear, natural listening experience. They also offer Own Voice Processing (OVP), which makes your own voice sound natural rather than boomy or hollow.
What is Own Voice Processing (OVP)?
OVP is a Signia-exclusive feature that recognizes and processes your own voice separately from external sounds. Many hearing aid wearers complain that their own voice sounds too loud or unnatural. OVP solves this by applying different processing to your voice versus surrounding sounds.
Is Signia related to Siemens hearing aids?
Yes. Signia is the successor brand to Siemens hearing aids. The Siemens hearing aid division became Signia under the WS Audiology umbrella, continuing the legacy of German engineering excellence with modern digital technology.
Do Signia hearing aids have Bluetooth connectivity?
Yes. Signia hearing aids support Bluetooth streaming for phone calls, music, and media from both iPhone and Android devices. The Signia app also allows remote fine-tuning with your audiologist.
