The Signia Shape-Shifter Show: One Tech, Many Faces
Imagine if a Broadway actor performed in different cities under different names, but always delivered the same amazing performance. That’s exactly how Sivantos (now part of WS Audiology) markets its Signia hearing aids. Like Phonak’s parent company Sonova, Sivontos also has many vertical brands. In this blog we will discuss all the different hearing aids in the vertical chain compatible with Signia brand chargers.
Sivantos produces some of the most advanced hearing aid technology, but instead of only selling it under the Signia name, they offer it under different brand names through exclusive partnerships with:
- Retail chains (like Horizon by HearUSA)
- In-house clinic brands (like Miracle-Ear and Costco/Rexton)
- Co-branded for a third party offering (like TruHearing aids)
Vertical integration means that a company controls not just the manufacturing of hearing aids but also their distribution and retail sale. Sivantos (now part of WS Audiology) is very active in this strategy as other hearing aid manufacturers do.
Sivontos owns:
- Signia (premium brand)
- HearUSA (U.S. national retail chain)
- Hear.com (online-first retail)
- TruHearing (partner-based network that offers rebranded Signia tech)
- Audibene (European online retail)
- Rexton and Audio Service (more brands that fit certain market niches)
Sivantos/Signia owns or controls a sizable chunk of the hearing aid market from top to bottom. They’re arguably the most vertically integrated player alongside Demant and Sonova.
The tech stays the same among all these rebranded hearing aids, IX, AX, and X platforms; however, the names, looks, and logos may change. Find out which Signia brand chargers might also be compatible with your hearing aids.
