Augmented Xperience changes the way your patients hear the world.
Experience the AX advantage compared to traditional hearing aid processing in the videos below.
Hearing isn’t always easy. A big group of people talking at the same time, softly spoken talkers, too much background noise… Sometimes sounds blend together making it impossible for patients to focus on what they want to hear.
Use the buttons below to switch between traditional hearing aid technology and Augmented Xperience (AX) with Augmented Focus ™
Experience the AX advantage compared to traditional hearing aid processing in the videos below.
AX is the popular choice: 4 times more people prefer Signia AX hearing aids to their previous hearing aid according to a recent study.³
Our new Augmented Xperience platform is even proven to perform better than normal hearing in a tested party scenario.²
3 out of 4 wearers experience less listening effort with AX than with their previous hearing aids, according to another recent study.³
85% of participants performed better in a speech test with Signia AX than with their previous hearing aids. 84% reported excellent speech loudness.²*
Focus sounds carry relevant information where every small detail is important, for example the speech of a conversation partner.
These sounds are processed in a highly linear, uncompressed way with emphasis on clarity and details.
This pulls speech closer to the listener so it sounds clearer.
Surroundings contain all sounds outside the main focus, placing the wearer in the correct acoustic atmosphere.
This is important to create both awareness and excitement, for example enjoying piano music and laughter in a cafe.
These sounds are processed with high spatial resolution, applying more compression and attenuation to keep them at a distance from the focus sounds.
Sudden loud sounds can be addressed more quickly than before to prevent them from masking focus sounds.
Two separate processors allow us to fully capture focus and surroundings independently. As a result, we can control how we recombine them. To create a greater contrast, Augmented Focus pulls focus sounds closer and places surrounding sounds a bit further away.
Signia's many innovative technologies combine to deliver this unprecedented augmented hearing experience:
Augmented Xperience offers direct streaming for both iOS and ASHA-compatible Android smartphones. It handles the signal of a streaming input independently from other signals, ensuring the sound is even clearer and easier to optimize.

HandsFree for iOS lets wearers stream calls hands-free from iPhones* and iPads*even in noisy environments while the hearing aid microphone delivers their voice to conversation partners in high quality.
*HandsFree for iOS is compatible with the following mobile devices: iPhone 11 or later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th and 4th generations), iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd and 2nd generations), iPad Air (4th generation), and iPad mini (6th generation). Mobile devices must be updated to iOS/iPadOS versions 15.2 or later.
e2e 4.0 doubles the transmission speed between the hearing aids on each ear, with transmission time between ears reduced from 5 ms to 2 ms. This allows for faster, more advanced processing. The new e2e 4.0 system can now synchronize the timing of the signal processing in each ear, preserving the timing and level differences of the sounds as they arrive at each ear and allowing the brain to make use of these natural cues to better localize sounds.
The increased speed of e2e 4.0 also ensures that feedback cancellation is better synchronized between the ears for a smoother sound experience.
