PISCATAWAY, NEW JERSEY — Hearing aid maker Sivantos has announced the launch of the all new Styletto Connect from Signia. The new devices are based on the rechargeable SLIM-RIC form factor, which were first launched in August 2018.
Based on the Signia Nx technology platform, the Styletto Connect combines slim design with connectivity that allows the wearer’s smartphone to stream calls, music and TV via Bluetooth, plus fully portable rechargeability.
Styletto Connect Features & Technology
The new Styletto Connect comes with a pocket-sized portable charging case that powers a full day’s worth of wearing (based on 16 hours of wear time per day) with five hours of streaming on a single charge. With a 30-minute ‘fast charge’, users can get five hours of use, or three hours of streaming. With a full charge, the charging case itself can deliver four days of user autonomy, free from plugs or cables – ideal for a weekend getaway or a business trip.
