The Silk X is one of the worlds smallest hearing aids.
The hearing aid sits fully in the ear with nothing going over.
It’s very small. So small that when fitted correctly it can’t be seen by the naked eye.
Ready to Wear without the inconvenience –
A big problem around wearing hearing aids that go in the ear is that they completely block your ear canal off. It’s a massive compromise that an in the ear hearing aid wearer has to make. Why is this bad?
Occlusion
Occlusion is when your ear feels blocked up. Like when you have a permanent head cold or when you have impacted ear wax.
Your voice sounds like an echo and is very dull.
It’s a real problem and is the main reason why customers tend to dislike the practical wearing of an in the ear hearing aid.
Natural Sounds
Another problem with in the ear hearing aids particularly the Completely in the Canal style is that they block you off completely from the outside world.
No natural sound can get in.
Couple this with occlusion and custom fitted small hearing aids can be a real problem. Quite simply you cant hear with them because of this.
Signia Silk X & the solution
Silk X combats this by using their brilliant click sleeve fittings.
These are little tips that fit on to the end of the hearing aids but have multiple holes in them so your ears can breathe and allow your own occluded sounds out.
This can change the sound quality dramatically and can really change a poor experience into a fabulous Xperience.
Perfect for Phone Calls
The Silk X because they sit inside the ear are perfect for calls. The speaker on your phone connects directly with the hearing aids microphone to give you clear and crisp phone calls.
Perfect for music
The Silk X works fantastic with on the ear headphones. As the headphones sit over your ear the speakers play music direct into your hearing aids allowing you to hear music clearly as it was intended.
Signia Silk X uses the same computing chip as all the Xperience products.
