PISCATAWAY, NEW JERSEY — Signia announced that it has been awarded the prestigious iF Design award for Signia Active Pro hearing aids.

According to the iF Design Jury, Signia has created a compelling solution to help people with hearing loss overcome the psychological hurdle of wearing hearing aids. This is the second time that Signia has received this prestigious award; in March 2018, Signia Styletto was awarded.

“Globally 466M people suffer from hearing loss. Only 17% of those who could benefit from a hearing aid actually use one. Unaddressed hearing loss poses an annual global cost of US$ 750 billion (WHO). Interventions to help address hearing loss are cost-effective and beneficial to people’s health, wellbeing, and overall quality of life. Traditional hearing aids often carry a stigma and are perceived as old fashioned and make people feel old. This means that many people who would benefit greatly from a hearing aid, are not willing to even try one. Signia have created a compelling solution to help people overcome this psychological hurdle.”

–iF Design Award Jury comments

Signia Active Pro earbuds can be put in and taken out of the ears as easily as any earbud. Modern-looking, easy to use and fast to fit, they “mark a whole new category of hearing aids – for everyone who wants to look cool, enjoy hearing everything that’s relevant to them and fully engage with all people that matter the most to them, so they can be at their best”.

“Signia Active Pro is superior to any hearable or amplifier. It performs a complex purpose, specifically tailored to each individual wearer, whereas basic hearables boost all sound. That can mean the difference between treating mild hearing loss effectively and developing more serious hearing loss.”

Consumer testing has shown that there is a strong desire for this type of solution. Two out of three people would prefer to wear earbuds to hear better instead of the most stylish high-tech hearing aids previously available.

Signia’s Global Chief Marketing Officer Maarten Barmentlo commented: “Signia Active Pro is the third unique solution that Signia has launched in the past few years to help drive adoption and acceptance of hearing care solutions, the invisible Signia Silk, the award-winning Signia Styletto and now the award-winning Signia Active Pro.”
