A portable charger is not currently available with the Insio AX so you’ll need to remember to take your charging case and power cable with you when traveling.
Smartphone compatibility
Insio Charge&Go AX offer both Apple and Android Bluetooth audio streaming. Android streaming is enabled via Android’s Audio Streaming for Hearing Aid (ASHA) protocol, while Apple streaming is enabled via Apple’s proprietary Made For iPhone (MFi) protocol. Signia hosts an up-to-date list of compatible iOS and Android devices.
Hands-free calling
Insio AX hearing aids do not support hands-free calling without an accessory. For hands-free phone conversations, you’ll need to purchase the Signia StreamLine™ Mic, which also serves as a remote microphone. For accessory free hands-free calling, check out Starkey Genesis, Resound Nexia or Phonak Lumity.
Augmented Focus™
Augmented Focus provides two separate processors that enables AX hearing aids to important speech sounds separately from distracting environmental noise. A long-time complaint of hearing aid wearers is that hearing aids amplify all sounds equally; this technology is intended to help you focus on the speech you want to hear while minimizing background noise.
This is accomplished by processing sound coming from the front of the listener separately from that of sound coming from behind the listener. The two signals are also sound treated differently with speech receiving more linear amplification while noise is compressed more aggressively. The intent is to improve your speech understanding in environments where competing noise is an issue, such as restaurants.
Extended dynamic range
The dynamic range of the input signal for the analog to digital converter can have a significant effect on sound quality, especially for loud inputs. Insio and Pure AX have a higher input limit of 117 dB which should help improve the quality of loud sounds. For those who enjoy music and/or may sing in a choir, for example, this extended dynamic range should be an improvement over previous generations of instruments. This means loud sounds should sound less muffled and distorted, and should sound clearer and more natural overall.
Acoustic motion sensors
The acoustic motion sensors onboard Insio AX recognize when you are in motion alter the function of the hearing aids accordingly. If you are walking, you may want to hear the person to your side, as opposed to listening to what’s in front of you (hearing aids typically focus to the front using directional microphone technology). For those who are active in groups this could be beneficial and allow you to stay engaged in the conversation.
Signia Assistant
Signia Assistant is part of the Signia app, which is available for both Apple and Android smartphones. Signia Assistant uses AI to help you optimize your hearing aid amplification settings for different listening environments. This allows for personalized fine tuning of the instruments without the need to return to your hearing provider.
