An Overview of the Signia Pure Charge&Go X Hearing Aid
Signia Pure Charge&Go X
In this post I’ll give you a brief overview of the new Signia Pure Charge&Go X hearing aids.
Signia (formerly Siemens/Germany) had a great success with their Charge&Go hearing aids during the last years. As a result of this success and to show their vision of future hearing aids, Signia is switching their complete hearing aid portfolio to rechargeable hearing aids.
The Pure Charge&Go is currently Signia’s best selling hearing aids.
In the video below you see a brief review of the hearing devices and the Signia App I made for you.
Overview
The Signia Pure Charge&Go X hearing aid is a Receiver-In-The-Ear (RIE) / Receiver-In-The-Canal (RIC) style hearing aid, which means that the receiver goes into the ear channel, while the other parts (microphones, amplifier, receiver and battery) are located behind the ear.
What’s really nice is, that the size of the rechargeable hearing aid is nearly the same as of the Pure 312 X – the battery-powered device.
A silicone ear piece (the dome) sits on the receiver for proper fit. There are different ear dome styles and sizes available. Your hearing professional can also provide you with a custom-made earpiece.
RIC hearing aids are very popular because they offer many advantages over traditional hearing aids:
1. they keep the ear channel open which results in a very natural sound impression.
2. the receiver cable is very thin which makes it nearly unnoticeable.
The hearing aid is powered by a rechargeable battery. It comes with an inductive charger which makes it very easy to charge. Simply put the hearing aid into the charging slot and you’re done. There are no contacts to connect – similar to an electric toothbrush.
As the hearing aid has Bluetooth it can connect to the free Signia App (for iOS and Android phones). This is very useful as you can control the volume of the hearing device, switch programs and adjust the hearing angle of the directional microphones. Direct streaming (phone calls, music…) is available for iPhones. If you’re using an Android phone you’ll need an accessory (Signia StreamLine Mic) for that. If you’re looking for improved hearing when watching TV, the Signia StreamLine TV might be a good fit. This device streams audio sound from your TV directly into your hearing aids.
Tech Specs and features
The Signia Pure Charge&Go comes in all five technology options, from basic to high-end: 7X/5X/3X/2X/1X.
It depends on your lifestyle, your hearing loss and (of course) your budget which technology fits best for you.

The direct Bluetooth streaming from iPhones is a cool feature, which let’s me hear phone calls directly in the hearing aids. However if you’re using an Android phone you need an accessory (Signia StreamLine Mic) to get your phone calls into the hearing aids.
Another very useful feature is the free Signia smartphone app. It gives you control over the volume and hearing programs without being overwhelming with features.
Charging the hearing aids is pretty easy with the inductive charger. Simply put the hearing aids into the charging slots and that’s it.

Conclusion (personal opinion)
The Signia Pure Charge&Go X is a really good rechargeable hearing aid. In my opinion it is the best rechargeable RIC hearing aid that’s currently available. It is small and can be programmed for most hearing losses. It is rechargeable and features five technology levels for nearly every budget. Bluetooth is on board, which let’s you stream phone calls and music directly into the hearing aids (iPhone only). The free smartphone app is a nice feature that gives you control over a lot of hearing features (works with all smartphones).
In a nutshell

So what's next?
If you’re interested in trying the Signia Pure Charge&Go hearing aids, contact your local hearing aid dispenser for a test drive. Wearing new hearing aids for 2-4 weeks is the best way to figure out if you like them or not.
