ISELIN, NEW JERSEY — Signia, a part of WSA, today announced U.S. market availability of Insio Charge&Go CIC IX, described by the company as the world’s first rechargeable, custom-made completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aid with directional microphone technology. The device is designed for wearers seeking a discreet form factor while maintaining speech understanding and all-day performance.
According to Signia, Insio Charge&Go CIC IX delivers up to 35 hours of battery life and five times greater speech enhancement in noise compared to single-microphone CIC hearing aids.1
The device incorporates Binaural OneMic Directionality 2.0 technology, which enables both hearing aids to wirelessly share information and create a directional beam. This allows wearers to access the benefits of the Integrated Xperience (IX) platform and advanced directionality within a small, custom-fit design.
“For many Americans with hearing loss, discretion and performance have historically been mutually exclusive. By making Insio Charge&Go CIC IX available in the U.S., we’re providing hearing care professionals (HCPs) with access to a rechargeable, custom CIC solution that delivers meaningful speech understanding in noise – without asking patients to compromise on design or convenience.”
–Kerrie Coughlin, Vice President Brand Marketing at WSAudiology
Signia says the device is designed to support communication in everyday listening environments, including restaurants, group conversations, and one-on-one interactions in noisy settings, helping wearers remain focused and engaged.
A recent study reported a 7 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio compared to competitor CIC devices, corresponding to five times greater speech enhancement in noise. A second study indicated this level of enhancement significantly improved speech understanding in noisy conversations.1
Insio Charge&Go CIC IX is custom-molded for comfort and discretion and is available in three color options and multiple performance levels. With up to 35 hours of battery life on a single charge, the rechargeable design eliminates the need for disposable batteries and expands accessibility for CIC users, according to the company.
“Hearing care is never one-size-fits-all,” concluded Coughlin. “Different patients need different solutions to fit into their lives. Expanding the Integrated Xperience portfolio allows hearing care professionals to meet those needs while maintaining performance where it matters most – in real-world conversations.”
