Silk 5AX (with CROS)

Signia CROS is a specialized hearing aid designed for individuals with single-sided deafness (SSD), a condition where one ear has hearing loss while the other functions normally. These devices function by wirelessly transferring sound from the impaired ear to the better-hearing ear, enabling users to perceive sounds from both sides. This enhances overall hearing and communication abilities. The CROS unit is a transmitter-only device and requires pairing with another compatible Signia hearing aid model, which needs to be purchased separately.

The main differences between the Silk AX 7, 5, and 3 series typically revolve around the level of technology and features offered.

Yes, you can! Despite their small size, the Silk 5AX hearing aids can be controlled remotely for maximum convenience. Using the Signia app on your smartphone, you can adjust settings and change programs.

Twin Phone feature, accessible through the Signia app or the miniPocket accessory, allows you to experience phone calls in both hearing aids when you hold your phone close to one of them. Streaming music and TV audio directly are not supported.

Yes, the Silk 5AX can be an excellent solution for single-sided hearing loss. Its nearly invisible design makes it a discreet choice for enhancing hearing in just one ear. It can be seamlessly integrated with the CROS Silk X accessory. This compatibility ensures optimal hearing quality, while also maintaining the highest level of discretion for you.
