Alarming fact: More than 12 million South Africans hear so poorly that their quality of life significantly suffers as a result.
The problem: Most wait too long to act, hoping their hearing will improve on its own. Sadly, it never does.
But now, a game-changing device is revolutionising the hearing aid industry, and experts say it's the biggest breakthrough they've seen in over a decade.
It's hear.com's new Signia IX hearing aid.
And it’s the perfect solution at the perfect time—when more and more people are eager to maintain their quality of life and overcome these limitations.
The IX was first released in the U.S and has taken the market by storm, offering hope and unprecedented clarity to thousands across America. It’s now South Africa’s turn.
hear.com's new IX hearing aids combine powerful German technology with a tiny design. In fact, many users say that people can’t even tell they’re wearing a hearing aid.
What are the IX hearing aids?
German entrepreneurs Dr. Marco Vietor and Paul Crusius are behind this revolutionary new hearing aid. hear.com's IX device was developed in collaboration with top audio engineers from Signia (formerly Siemens).
Their goal was to combine the best possible speech clarity with a comfortable, invisible design using cutting-edge German technology. Whether you choose an in-the-ear, or behind-the-ear design, both are barely visible.
The result? A hearing aid that’s gone viral for making conversation and hearing effortless, even in background noise—something that was unthinkable with previous generations of hearing aids.
Dr. Marco Vietor explains, “It’s a hearing aid people actually want to wear. It offers amazing speech clarity and smartphone connectivity in a virtually invisible design — and all that for a reasonable price!"
Amazing speech clarity means no more mumbling or missing things, just clear, vibrant sound. With hear.com's IX hearing aids, conversation is effortless.
What makes hear.com's IX hearing aid so special?
It’s one of the world’s first hearing aids with dual processing.
This is special because it’s the first time engineers have been able to pack not one, but two state-of-the-art computer chips into a device this small.
The result? An unprecedented amount of power and clarity.
This means that hear.com’s IX hearing aids offer all of the usual benefits of modern hearing aids—from smartphone connectivity to Bluetooth streaming—with the added bonus of something completely new: they can process speech and background noise independently, then recombine them for unparalleled, crystal clear sound.
“It's not just about volume,” explains hear.com founder Paul Crusius. “It's about speech clarity. And that's precisely what IX is designed to optimise.”
In other words: with double the power comes double the clarity—and all that in a virtually invisible design!
