Signia Silk X

The Signia Silk X hearing aid is a ready-to-wear model that sits inside the ear canal (CIC) and uses the Signia Xperience platform. It can be fitted on the same day with a silicone piece of the right size, without waiting for a custom mould to be made. Silk is among the very small hearing aids and sits discreetly in the ear. It is designed for people who want to keep their hearing loss private.

Easy fitting with Click Sleeve

Silk X is used with Click Sleeves made of soft, flexible silicone. Click Sleeves come in 4 sizes to suit different ear shapes and hearing needs. Your hearing care professional chooses the size that sits comfortably in your ear. This design is meant both for wearing comfort and for keeping the device securely in the ear. Click Sleeves can be replaced over time.

Sound and hearing features

Silk X works with the Signia Xperience platform and aims to help you understand speech clearly. Unlike behind-the-ear devices, the microphones of Silk X pick up sound from inside the ear canal. This makes natural use of the way the outer ear collects sound; you can hear phone calls and the music you listen to in the way you are used to. Simply hold the phone to your ear as normal. Signia Xperience devices also include sound therapy options for tinnitus.

Control and battery

The volume and programs of Silk X can be changed from your phone with the Signia App. The device runs on a size 10 battery. Because of the small shell, the battery is small too; depending on daily use, it needs changing every few days. For spare batteries, see the size 10 hearing aid battery page.

Who is it suitable for?

Silk X can be considered for people for whom it matters that their device is not seen, who want a quick fitting, and whose ear canal is suitable for a device of this size. For people with hearing loss in one ear there is also a CROS Silk X option; details are on the Signia CROS X page.

Care

Changing the Click Sleeves and the wax guard regularly is important for the device to sit comfortably in the ear and for the sound to stay clear. Leaving the battery door open overnight helps moisture escape.

At our centre in Pendik, after a free hearing test, you can choose the right Click Sleeve size and try Silk X. For other models, see the in-the-ear hearing aids page.
