The Signia Silk is a fantastic choice for anyone with a mild to moderate loss and unrivalled at this price with this technological spec and size – the ergonomics of this hearing aid utilises the shape of your outer ear (otherwise know as the Pinna) to help with creating a more natural sound – this also allows you to use your phone as normal rather than angle the phone is such a way to hear well with a Behind The Ear hearing aid.

This In The Ear design is also a friendlier device to wear if you are a glasses wearer and also friendlier when it comes to mask wearing due to our current climate. A Behind The Ear device can be cumbersome when wearing with glasses and/ or face covering.
