ISELIN, NEW JERSEY – The new Signia Pure Charge&Go BCT IX hearing aids are now available to audiologists within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), and Indian Health Service (IHS), expanding access to hearing technology for military veterans, active service members, and American Indians.

“Our veterans deserve the highest standard of care – and with this technology, that’s exactly what they’re getting. For too long, Government Services audiologists have had to ask, ‘What kind of phone do you use?’ before even talking about hearing needs. Pure Charge&Go BCT IX puts audiology – not device compatibility – back at the center of the fitting conversation. It’s performance without compromise.”

–Sheena Oliver, AuD, Chief Clinical Officer at WS Audiology

Originally introduced in February, the Pure Charge&Go BCT IX hearing aids are designed to offer broad compatibility with mobile devices, pairing with an estimated 99% of phones through Bluetooth® Classic. The device also features a battery runtime of up to 36 hours—including approximately five hours of streaming—on a single charge.

Veterans using the device have access to the Signia Integrated Xperience (IX) platform, which includes RealTime Conversation Enhancement, a feature designed to detect and enhance multiple conversation partners in real time, even in complex listening environments. The company reports that the combination of Bluetooth Classic connectivity and speech enhancement is intended to support patient engagement in group conversations and noisy settings.

The Pure Charge&Go BCT IX is also one of the smallest Bluetooth Classic-compatible hearing aids currently available and includes features such as a visible serial number and onboard LED light indicator to assist with clinic-level troubleshooting and device management.

The device uses a proprietary high-density battery and a full-featured Bluetooth Classic microchip to support long battery life while maintaining a compact form factor and performance standards.

“At Signia, we’re committed to equipping Government Services audiologists with cutting-edge technology for veterans to make it as easy as possible to provide premier patient care. With Pure Charge&Go BCT IX, veterans and military members can fully participate in every conversation, turning everyday interactions into empowering, positive experiences.”

All Signia Integrated Xperience hearing aids are SCIF-compatible, supporting audiologists who serve individuals working in high-security environments.
