How do I know Signia Silk Charge&Go IX is the right hearing aid for me?
Silk is a strong option if discretion matters most to you and you’d like a rechargeable hearing aid that’s ready to wear. Whether it suits you depends on your hearing loss, the size and shape of your ear canals, and whether you need features like Bluetooth streaming. We’ll compare Silk with other devices after your hearing evaluation.
Do I need a hearing test before getting hearing aids?
Yes. Hearing aids should be selected and programmed from a comprehensive hearing evaluation. We provide testing at our NYC and Garden City offices.
How is Silk Charge&Go IX different from Insio Charge&Go IX?
Both are rechargeable completely-in-canal hearing aids on Signia’s IX platform. Silk is an instant-fit device that can be worn with ready-made EarWear sleeves (or a custom mold), so you can start wearing it right away. Insio Charge&Go IX is custom-made from an impression of your ear. Your audiologist will help you choose based on comfort, fit, and what matters most to you.
Is Signia Silk Charge&Go IX rechargeable?
Yes. Silk Charge&Go IX has a rechargeable battery for all-day hearing. Its pocket-size charging case has a built-in power bank for charging on the go, and the case can be charged wirelessly (Qi). We’ll review charging and daily care at your fitting.
Can I connect Silk Charge&Go IX to my phone?
You can adjust Silk from your phone with the Signia App, or with the small miniPocket™ remote. Signia doesn’t list Bluetooth audio streaming for Silk, so if you want phone calls or music streamed straight to your hearing aids, we’ll talk through other Signia styles that offer it.
What happens at a hearing aid fitting?
We choose the right EarWear sleeve size (or take impressions for a custom mold), program Silk to your hearing prescription, check comfort and how securely it sits, and show you how to insert, remove, clean, and charge it. Follow-up visits fine-tune the fit.
Are hearing aids covered by insurance?
Some commercial plans do cover hearing aids, but Medicare does not. We are happy to look into your insurance so you know exactly what is covered and whether anything would be out of pocket. We also offer leasing and financing with low monthly payments if that is a better fit. Book an appointment and we will get started, or upload your insurance card so we can check your benefits before you come in.
