An FDA registered company in 2016, Signia, is comparatively new to the field of hearing aids but has paced up with the speed of established brands. Offering reliable technology, with the objective to provide realistic sound quality, the brand deals explicitly only in hearing aids and related accessories like Chargers, StreamLive Tv, mini pocket, and StreamLive Mic, etc.
Reluctant to the style of traditional hearing aids, the brand focuses only on developing devices that are easy to wear and can stay in the ear for a more extended time without any pain. They are specially designed to keep the pain a tinnitus patient undergoes. Plus, covering all the levels of hearing loss (mild to severe), the brand allows you both online and offline purchases with a FREE hearing loss online test to evaluate your hearing profile.
However, the offline purchasing of the brand is extremely expensive as it undergoes various hidden charges. Plus, the use of advanced technology sometimes might make this brand unfit for the seniors. The rest depends upon the specification of the model and the type of hearing aid you choose.
