Signia Assistant: Enhancing Human Performance with Artificial Intelligence (AI) 

When getting fitted with hearing aids for the first time, some wearers may feel overwhelmed because there’s a lot of information to take in. While this is a natural reaction, your instinct as a hearing care professional is to want to help your patients through the process of wearing new hearing aids for the first time. 

Imagine being able to accompany your patients during every single step of their hearing journey. Now you can – with the revolutionary Signia Assistant.

The Signia Assistant acts as an extension of yourself so you can see the challenges your patients experience in their daily life. It also supports them in optimizing their hearing experience with confidence, as 93% of users stated that Signia Assistant improved their satisfaction for listening in difficult situations.¹

By downloading and using the Signia App – available in both iOS and Android – your patients have access to the revolutionary artificial intelligence (AI) of the Signia Assistant. The Signia Assistant supports them around the clock in the form of intuitive text-based dialogue. It’s easy to use, offers small sound adjustments when needed, and provides how-to videos. All they need is their Signia Augmented Xperience (AX) or Signia Xperience (X) hearing aids² and the app.

The World’s First Live Deep Neural Network AI for Hearing Aids

The Signia Assistant is a highly intelligent system that is inspired by the way the human brain’s neural network solves challenges. It learns from every interaction, conducted completely anonymously. With its live deep neural network, the Signia Assistant ensures that your patients get the best possible solution for any given situation, consistently tailored to their specific needs and preferences.

A Game-Changing Solution!

As mentioned before, there’s a lot of information to take in during the first hearing aid fitting. Many new wearers may feel lost when it comes to handling and cleaning their devices once they are home with them. Some even stop using the hearing aids if a problem occurs. As a result, you can often find yourself repeating information and instructions during follow-up appointments.

The Signia Assistant resolves these issues. It provides your patients with easy answers to all questions on handling their hearing aids, offering helpful videos in the app that are relevant to their specific device. This way, people get the support they need during the entire onboarding process, and you can spend the time at follow-up appointments more effectively.

By providing tailored settings specific to each individual, the Signia Assistant increases the benefit of the hearing aids, according to 87% of wearers.¹ Strongly perceived as a meaningful innovation, the Signia Assistant also drives sales because an overwhelming 87% of consumers would choose hearing aids with such an assistant when buying new devices.¹
