Welcome to a New Era of Hearing: Exploring the Signia Active Pro IX

The Signia Active Pro IX sets a new benchmark for hearing technology, combining innovative features with a sleek, earbud-style design. Building on its predecessor, the Signia Active Pro, this latest model introduces groundbreaking advancements, particularly in how it handles the complexities of real-world conversations.

In this blog, we’ll dive into the Active Pro IX’s unique features as well as examine the key differences from the previous model, highlighting why it’s a game-changer for hearing aid users.

The IX Platform

At the heart of the Active Pro IX is the Signia Integrated Xperience (IX) platform, designed to tackle one of the biggest challenges for hearing aid users, dynamic, real-world conversations.

RealTime Conversation Enhancement

• The Active Pro IX is equipped with a multi-stream architecture capable of accurately pinpointing multiple moving speakers in real time.
• This innovative feature identifies, enhances, and therefore tracks the location of multiple conversation partners, adapting fluidly as they move.
• The result? A 3.2 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) compared to its nearest competitor, ensuring unmatched clarity in group conversations, even in noisy environments.*

The Science of Dynamic Conversations

Real conversations are lively and unpredictable, making them difficult for traditional hearing aids to handle. The Active Pro IX excels in these situations thanks to a three-stage RealTime Conversation Enhancement process:

1. Analyze: Processes 192,000 data points per second to identify speakers as well as analyze the dynamics of the conversation.
2. Augment: Controls multiple focus streams to dynamically highlight each speaker’s voice while managing background sounds for a natural and immersive experience.
3. Adapt: Updates 1,000 times per second to track and enhance the voices of moving speakers, creating a seamless auditory experience.

This multi-stream approach ensures wearers stay fully engaged, even in complex group settings, therefore making the IX platform a leap forward in hearing technology.
