Signia Assistant is the smart new way to better address your patients' needs
Imagine being able to accompany your patient every single step of their hearing journey outside your office?
Signia Assistant is the smart new way to better address your patients’ needs. It acts as an extension of yourself so you can see the challenges they experience in their daily life. It also supports them in optimizing their hearing experience with confidence, as 93% of hearing aid wearers say the Signia Assistant boosts their confidence to rely on their hearing aids and lets them feel more in control of their hearing success.¹
Via the Signia app on your patients’ smartphone – available for both iOS and Android – the advanced artificial intelligence of Signia Assistant supports them 24/7 in the form of intuitive text-based dialogue. Easy to learn, it offers small sound adjustments when needed and how-to videos to answer handling questions. All they need is their Signia Xperience hearing aids² and the app.
The world’s first deep neural network 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 artificial intelligence deep neural network, the Assistant ensures that the end-user always gets the best possible solution for any given situation, always tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
This marks a revolution in hearing care, moving from assumptions to data-driven knowledge and away from a one-size-fits-all approach to precisely tuned hearing for every individual.
As a result, 93% of Signia Assistant users regard it as a meaningful innovation that raises their satisfaction with their hearing aids in difficult listening situations.¹ In this way, the Signia Assistant delivers the next level in modern optimized care.

Soon you will also be able to see details about each specific interaction: the situation your patient was in at a particular date and time, the issue that required assistance, and the solution implemented by the Assistant.

Face Mask Mode is designed to compensate for the effects that face masks have on speech clarity. Face masks dampen some of the important speech sounds, and Face Mask Mode boosts those sounds and increases overall focus on speech to help Xperience users more easily understand speech coming through a face mask. It is easily activated and deactivated by tapping a button next to the volume control slider.
