Signia Active - Rechargeable in-the-ear hearing aid
Overview
Don't want hearing aids that look like hearing aids?
The Signia Active is the perfect choice for anyone tempted to look at less conventional devices to improve their hearing. With their earbud appearance other people won’t even recognise them as hearing aids!
The Signia Active combines a user-friendly and comfortable design (similar to premium consumer audio products) with audiological high-tech. The Li-ion rechargeability in the pocket-sized Signia Active charger is environmentally friendly and the case can also charge whilst on the go. A fully charged Signia Active aid will keep going for 24 hours.
The Signia Active incorporates the 'Made for iPhone' feature - allowing for direct audio streaming from iPhones. The Actives become your hands-free listening solution with tailored amplification that's just right for you.
The Signia Active can be paired to both the Streamline Mic and Streamline TV accessories. The Streamline Mic allows for Android mobile phone users to stream audio to the Actives but also operates as a handy remote microphone - sending sound from the person wearing the Streamline Mic from up to 20 metres away directly to your Actives. The Streamline TV connects up to your television and sends TV sound wirelessly to your Actives.
Modern-looking, easy to use and fast to fit, these handy devices mark a whole new category of hearing solutions – for those with mild to moderate hearing loss who don’t want to wear traditional hearing aids, but want to enjoy hearing everything that’s important to them.

How to buy
Not sure about buying a hearing aid online? We keep the process straight-forward, and here's what happens:
Select which ear you wish to wear the hearing aid on (left / right / both); and the colour and add to basket. Check-out and purchase with Visa / Mastercard or PayPal (where there is a 'Pay-in-3' option for an interest-free 3 month split payment plan)
Your order will be posted directly to you for a 30 day home trial. Everything you need to try the aid for this period is included.
Many customers have a copy of their audiogram (hearing test result on a graph) and will email us a copy before ordering - audiology@hearingdirect.com.
If the hearing aid is appropriate for the hearing loss, we use the audiogram results to program the initial settings of the hearing aid.
Dont worry if an audiogram is not available; you can begin with our standard setting – geared to suit a mild to moderate, mainly high frequency hearing loss. This is the type of hearing loss we commonly see in those with age-related or noise-induced hearing losses.
Another option is to complete the online hearing check, which, if completed as instructed, gives a reasonable estimate of someone’s middle and high frequency hearing: https://www.hearingdirect.com/pages/hearing-test.
If you wish for your online hearing check result to be used with your order you will need to let us know before or just after your order is placed.
Please talk to us if you need anything else regarding the set up further customised. We are real people, and would love to help provide the best possible starting point for you.
Once you've received the hearing aid it's a case of trying out the physical fit and the sound. If you need any adjustments, some can be done remotely if you've downloaded the Signia App – or we can reprogramme in house if the aid is posted back. Email or call us and we will help immediately or set up a time to discuss your requirements in more detail. If you choose to send the hearing aid back to us in the post for reprogramming we will extend your 30 day trial by a week to account for postage times.
If the sound or physical fit of the product is not to your satisfaction, our 30 day money back guarantee is a no quibble policy.
