LYNGE, DENMARK — Signia, a leading hearing aid brand known for advancing speech understanding in group conversations and part of WS Audiology (WSA), has announced the limited global launch of Insio Charge&Go CIC IX, the world’s first rechargeable, custom-made completely-in-canal (CIC) hearing aid with directional microphone technology. While the new device is not yet available in the United States, it is being introduced in select international markets, offering wearers a discreet design that delivers up to 35 hours of battery life and 5X the speech enhancement in noise compared to other single-microphone CIC hearing aids.¹
Yesterday, Signia announced the U.S. rollout of its Insio IX in-the-canal (ITC) and in-the-ear (ITE) custom and Motion Charge&Go IX behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids.
Insio Charge&Go CIC IX leverages Binaural OneMic Directionality 2.0 technology—a proprietary breakthrough that enables both hearing aids to work in sync, wirelessly sharing information to create a directional beam. This ensures wearers get all the benefits of the Integrated Xperience (IX) platform and advanced directionality without sacrificing the tiny, comfortable, and discreet fit they want.
Maarten Barmentlo, WSA Chief Marketing OfficerDiscreet hearing aids have long meant performance trade-offs especially in complex listening environments. With Insio Charge&Go CIC IX, we’ve overcome what was once thought impossible. It’s the first hearing aid of its kind to combine rechargeability, a truly invisible custom fit, and directional speech enhancement in noise.
With Insio Charge&Go CIC IX, wearers no longer have to choose between discretion and performance. Whether navigating a crowded restaurant, attending a family gathering, or having a one-on-one conversation in a noisy bar, this custom CIC helps wearers stay focused, confident, and fully engaged.
A recent study showed the technology provides a 7 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio over competitor CICs, which corresponds to 5X greater speech enhancement in noise. A second study confirmed that this level of speech enhancement provides a significant boost in speech understanding in a noisy conversation.¹
Beyond audiological performance, Insio Charge&Go CIC IX is built for everyday ease. The device is custom-molded for all-day comfort and discretion, available in three color options and multiple performance levels to suit diverse hearing needs. With a rechargeable battery and up to 35 hours on a single charge, it eliminates the need for battery changes, making CICs accessible to more wearers than ever before.
In addition to Insio Charge&Go CIC IX, Signia is further expanding its Integrated Xperience portfolio to include Motion Charge&Go IX—a full lineup of rechargeable behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids for all levels of hearing loss, offering up to 82 dB gain and 61 hours of runtime.
Motion Charge&Go IX empowers wearers to participate more fully in daily life, combining ultra-long battery life with advanced speech processing that excels in noisy group conversation settings. It’s a powerful solution for wearers experiencing mild to profound hearing loss – without compromising comfort, convenience, or performance.
Although the Insio Charge&Go CIC IX is being launched only in select international markets and is currently not available in the United States at this writing, you can learn more about it at the Signia Insio C&G CIC IX webpage.
