Nearly Invisible CIC Design
The design of the Signia Silk IX sets it apart from most hearing aids. Instead of sitting behind the ear or filling the outer ear bowl, the Silk IX is a completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aid that rests deep inside the ear canal. This placement makes it nearly invisible to others, which is why it is often described as an invisible hearing aid.
Soft Textured Surface
Color Options: Mocha and Black
The Silk IX is available in Mocha and Black, both chosen to blend with the ear canal so the hearing aid stays discreet regardless of your skin tone. Your hearing care professional can help you select the color that matches best.
Ready to Wear: No Custom Molds Required
Soft Click Sleeves in Multiple Sizes
Instant Fit the Same Day
RealTime Conversation Enhancement
Speech Separation from Background Noise
Reducing Background Noise in Real Time
Once the system identifies the speakers you are engaged with, it enhances their voices while reducing competing noise. Background chatter, traffic sounds, and restaurant clatter are attenuated so speech stays clear and natural. The processing happens in real time, adapting as the noise environment changes.

Bluetooth Connectivity and the Signia App
The Signia Silk IX offers Bluetooth hearing aids connectivity, streaming phone calls, music, and media directly from your smartphone. You can take calls and listen to audio in both ears without a separate streamer.
Stream calls, music, podcasts, and video audio directly from your smartphone to both hearing aids. The Signia App, available for iOS and Android, lets you control volume, switch programs, fine-tune bass and treble, and check battery status.
The Signia Assistant
miniPocket Remote Control
For users who prefer a physical remote, the Signia miniPocket remote lets you control volume and switch programs discreetly without a phone. It is small enough to carry on a keychain and works as an alternative to the Signia App for quick adjustments.
Rechargeable Battery and Portable Charger
The Signia Silk IX is a rechargeable hearing aid, so you never need to buy or replace disposable batteries. A full charge delivers all-day listening time, so you can hear from morning to night without worrying about battery life.
Portable Charger with Three Charges on the Go
Just place the hearing aids in the case at night, and they are ready to go in the morning. With a single charge lasting all day and three backup charges, you can travel for a long weekend without a charger cable.
