Hearing aid provider Signia, part of WS Audiology, launched a new technology called Integrated Xperience that enables hearing aid wearers to hear all speakers in noisy group conversations clearly. Even when speakers move or the wearer turns their head, the hearing aids ensure improved speech understanding.
Hearing aid wearers often have difficulty following dynamic conversations at noisy social events. Most hearing aids struggle to enhance speech in these environments and are unable to switch directional modes fast enough to effectively capture multiple speakers. Signia Integrated Xperience is introducing a hearing aid that identifies and locks on to the voice of every person in a conversation, enhancing their speech and reducing background noise.
“Integrated Xperience is about more than just hearing better. It is about giving hearing aid wearers the confidence to engage, interact, and contribute, especially in noisy group conversations. They don’t have to observe from the sidelines anymore. No other hearing aid can track and enhance multiple speakers in real-time. We are pleased to introduce this important innovation to the market from one of our flagship brands and to deliver on our purpose of making wonderful sound part of everyone’s life,” says Maarten Barmentlo, Chief Marketing Officer, WS Audiology.

In a study investigating speech performance in a group conversation scenario, Signia Integrated Xperience provided a significant improvement in speech understanding for the hearing aid wearer. Approximately 95%[1] of the participants showed better performance with Integrated Xperience RealTime Conversation Enhancement than without.
The Integrated Xperience platform makes its debut in Signia’s all-new Pure Charge&Go IX. Integrated Xperience also includes Silk Charge&Go IX – a rechargeable, ready-to-wear completely-in-the-canal hearing aids.
