Signia Silk Nx

The Signia Silk Nx hearing aid is a model that sits inside the ear canal (CIC) and comes ready to wear. Conventional in-the-ear devices are made to the measurements of the ear, which means waiting a few days. Silk Nx, by contrast, is fitted with flexible silicone Click Sleeves in different sizes; the right size is chosen and the device can be used the same day. With its small shell it is almost invisible in the ear.

Sound and hearing features

Silk Nx uses Ultra HD e2e technology for wireless binaural (bilateral) processing. The devices in both ears communicate with each other and assess sounds together. This aims to help with understanding speech and telling which direction a sound is coming from.

The device has single-microphone directionality across both ears (bilateral OneMic). Although each device has only one microphone, the two devices working together provide directionality that focuses on speech in front of you.

App and control

Silk Nx is compatible with the touchControl app for remote control. You can change the volume and programs from your smartphone. The device is also compatible with TeleCare; with this system your hearing care professional can, where appropriate, monitor the device settings remotely and provide support.

Size and battery

Silk Nx has a smaller shell than the earlier Silk primax model. It runs on a size 10 battery; for spare batteries, see the size 10 hearing aid battery page.

CROS Silk Nx for hearing loss in one ear

For users with hearing loss in one ear, there is also a CROS Silk Nx option. An in-canal transmitter worn in the non-hearing ear sends sounds from that side to the device in the other ear. For current CROS options, see the Signia CROS X page.

Who is it suitable for?

Silk Nx can be considered for people who want their device not to be seen, who do not want to wait for a mould, and whose ear canal is suitable for a device of this size. Suitability is determined by an ear examination and a hearing test.

Note: the manufacturer has since replaced Silk Nx with later Silk models. For the Xperience platform version of the Silk family, see the Signia Silk X page. If you use a Silk Nx, you can get technical service support for its maintenance and repair.

At our centre in Pendik, after a free hearing test, you can choose the right Click Sleeve size and try Silk Nx on the same day.
