ISELIN, NEW JERSEY – Signia has announced that its Insio IX ITC/ITE (In-the-Canal/In-the-Ear) custom-fit hearing aids and Motion Charge&Go IX family of rechargeable behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids are now available to audiologists within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Department of Defense (DoD), and Indian Health Service (IHS).
With this expansion, Government Services audiologists can now fit veterans, active military members, and American Indians with Integrated Xperience (IX) hearing aids across all levels of hearing loss—from mild to profound. The full IX portfolio also includes Pure Charge&Go BCT IX, Pure Charge&Go T IX, Styletto IX, and Insio IX IIC/CIC models.
“At Signia, we are deeply committed to supporting VA, DoD, and IHS audiologists with technology that empowers their patients to participate fully in life. The expanded IX portfolio now ensures that veterans – whether living with mild or profound hearing loss – have the confidence and technology to stay engaged in conversations anywhere.”
–Sheena Burks, AuD, Chief Clinical Officer at WS Audiology
Expanded Access to RealTime Conversation Enhancement
The IX portfolio is powered by RealTime Conversation Enhancement, which has been shown to deliver more than twice the speech enhancement benefit in noisy group conversations compared to other leading hearing aids.[1]
This technology enables wearers to remain confident and connected, even in the most challenging listening environments.
Custom-Fit and Rechargeable Options
The Insio IX ITC/ITE features dual microphones and proprietary split processing to continuously track and enhance multiple conversation partners in real time. With options including onboard controls, telecoil, CROS compatibility, and six discreet colors, Government Services audiologists can tailor fittings to each patient’s needs. Wireless programming via Connexx Air adds further efficiency for VA, DoD, and IHS clinics.
The Motion Charge&Go IX family extends IX performance to rechargeable BTE models suitable for all hearing loss levels. The Motion Charge&Go SP IX offers up to 65 hours of battery life, including five hours of streaming—the longest runtime among rechargeable superpower hearing aids.
Available in 14 colors, including Pearl White, Sporty Red, and Galactic Blue, the Motion Charge&Go IX line provides wearers with greater choice and personalization.
All Signia IX hearing aids are SCIF-compatible, allowing Government Services audiologists to fit patients who work in high-security environments with confidence.
Accessories and Added Convenience
The Signia TV Sound Streamer is also now available through VA, DoD, and IHS channels. The device connects directly to a television and streams Dolby-quality stereo sound to Signia hearing aids via Bluetooth Classic, providing a seamless listening experience.
“Veterans live active, connected lives, and advanced hearing solutions are essential to helping them fully engage in every moment,” Burks added. “With the addition of Insio IX ITC/ITE and Motion Charge&Go IX, the full breadth of Signia’s IX portfolio is now available through Government Services audiologists – delivering powerful, rechargeable, and discreet options that keep patients confident and connected, from conversations with loved ones to busy group settings.”
