Signia Styletto AX

Unlike conventional behind-the-ear devices, the Signia Styletto AX hearing aid is designed with a long, slim SLIM-RIC shape. The housing sits behind the ear, and the receiver runs into the ear canal through a thin wire. This version of the Styletto family, which has won design awards, has a smaller and more refined housing than earlier Styletto models. It is made for people who care about appearance and are looking for a rechargeable device that connects to their phone.

Sound and hearing features

Styletto AX is built on Signia's Augmented Xperience (AX) audiology platform. This platform processes the speech of the person in front of you and the surrounding sounds separately. The aim is to help you hear speech more clearly in crowded and noisy places. Signia's AX devices also include sound therapy options for people with tinnitus; if needed, your hearing care specialist switches this feature on and adjusts it.

Connectivity and app

With Bluetooth connectivity, phone calls, music and TV sound can be streamed directly to the hearing aids. Styletto AX can be used with both iPhone and Android phones. You can change the volume and programs in the Signia App, and get adjustment support from Signia Assistant, the AI-based digital assistant, for situations you come across in daily use.

Charging and use

Styletto AX runs on a rechargeable battery, so you do not need to change batteries. It can be used for up to 17 hours on a full charge. Instead of plugging the devices in, you simply place them in the portable charging case. The case supports wireless charging, so you can charge your devices at home or while out and about. If you wish, alongside its own charger you can also use the Dry&Clean charger, which cleans and dries with UVC light.

Who is it for?

Styletto AX can be considered by people who want a slim, discreet device, who use Bluetooth for phone and music during the day, and who do not want to deal with changing batteries. Whether it suits you depends on the degree of your hearing loss and the shape of your ear; the decision is made together after an audiological assessment.

Maintenance

On RIC devices, the dome at the tip of the receiver and the wax filter can become blocked over time. Changing the filter regularly and wiping the device with a dry cloth every evening helps keep the sound clear. At our centre we can make these changes together and show you how to do them.

At our Pendik centre we first carry out a free hearing test, then, if suitable, you can try Styletto AX in your daily life. You can find other rechargeable models on the rechargeable hearing aids page, and all models on the Signia hearing aids page.
