Signia Active Mini IX: Full Signia IX Platform in the Ultra-Discreet Ready-to-Wear ITE
As a hearing care professional, you know that recommending the right technology is only part of the challenge. Client adoption can also be influenced by factors such as visibility, personal preferences, lifestyle expectations, and how a device aligns with a client's expectations of modern hearing technology.
Signia Active Mini IX expands the conversation by giving you a fully featured, ready-to-wear ITE option within the Signia IX portfolio. Combining a discreet in-ear design with advanced conversation technology, connectivity, and rechargeability, it helps address common barriers to adoption without requiring clients to compromise on performance.
For your practice, Active Mini IX represents more than an additional form factor. It creates opportunities to engage clients looking beyond traditional hearing aid styles, broaden your candidate pool, and support recommendations with the proven conversation benefits of Signia Integrated Xperience.

Support clients who want performance without compromise
Active Mini IX gives you a practical option for clients seeking a balance of discretion, convenience, and advanced technology. This may include first-time hearing aid candidates, clients with mild-to-moderate hearing loss, style-conscious individuals, socially active clients, and those who are hesitant about visible BTE or RIC styles.
It may also appeal to clients who are already comfortable with modern personal audio technology and are looking for a hearing solution that better aligns with their lifestyle and preferences.
Bring the full Signia IX platform into a discreet ITE format
Built on the Signia IX platform, Active Mini IX includes RealTime Conversation Enhancement, designed to support clients in dynamic group conversations where speakers frequently move, overlap, and change direction.
Supported by a two-microphone directional system and Dynamic Soundscape Processing 3.0, it continuously tracks and enhances multiple conversation partners in real time, helping prioritise speech information within complex listening environments.
The clinical evidence behind Signia Integrated Xperience provides a strong foundation for these discussions. In a dynamic group conversation scenario, Signia IX demonstrated an 8.1 dB improvement in conversation signal-to-noise ratio compared with unaided listening and achieved a 3.2 dB advantage over the closest competitor. This resulted in more than twice the speech enhancement benefit of competing platforms in the test environment.i
In a separate Signia IX study, participants demonstrated up to 22% better speech understanding in noisy group conversationsii, further reinforcing the platform's focus on supporting real-world communication.
For you, this means Active Mini IX can be positioned within the same evidence-based conversation performance framework as the broader Signia IX family. Rather than treating a discreet in-ear form factor as a compromise, you can recommend it with confidence as a complete Signia IX solution for clients who prefer a smaller device without giving up access to advanced conversation technology.
A fully featured ITE without the usual trade-offs
As the world's smallest ready-to-wear ITE, Active Mini IX combines a discreet form factor with the connectivity, rechargeability, and technology options many clients now expect from modern hearing solutions. This allows you to recommend an in-ear solution without stepping away from the broader Signia IX experience.

-
Bluetooth® connectivity with MFi (iOS), ASHA (Android), and LE Audio compatibility

This means greater flexibility when matching solutions to different client needs. It also gives you access to a broader range of technology levels, making it easier to align recommendations with individual hearing needs and budget considerations.
Simplify the path from recommendation to fitting
As a ready-to-wear, instant-fit ITE, Active Mini IX removes several steps traditionally associated with custom in-ear devices, helping to streamline the journey from recommendation to fitting.
Rather than requiring ear impressions, custom manufacturing, and additional waiting periods, Active Mini IX can be fitted using silicone sleeves during the appointment. This allows you to demonstrate the product and move directly into the fitting process when appropriate.
The availability of an instant-fit ITE option provides greater flexibility when discussing form-factor preferences and evaluating suitability during the appointment.

Ready-to-wear instant-fit design

Silicone sleeve fitting options
