If you're going to buy a hearing aid, you need to understand “the clarity of the signal compared to background noise (Signal-to-Noise Ratio = SNR).”

When you were choosing a hearing aid, did you ever consider something called “signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)”?
This is a key indicator that tells you how clear the sound from the hearing aid will be.

If you want to hear clearly in noisy environments, this is the feature you need to pay attention to!
Signal-to-Noise Ratio, or simply SNR, acts as a “sound focus assistant.”

To better understand SNR, imagine the focus function on a camera.
With a basic camera, the photo might come out cluttered and unclear, without a specific subject standing out.
But with a DSLR camera that has focus capabilities, the image becomes sharp exactly where you want it to be.

That’s what SNR does — it helps your hearing aid focus on the sounds you want to hear, cutting through the noise around you.

A hearing aid with high SNR is like a DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) camera that can beautifully blur the background—making background noise fade away while bringing important sounds into sharp focus, almost as if they “pop out” from the surrounding noise.

A high-SNR hearing aid gives you freedom in hearing.

With a high signal-to-noise ratio, you can choose what you want to hear in complex environments. The hearing aid reduces background noise and amplifies important speech, shifting the experience from “adapting to the environment” to “focusing on what you want.”

To put it simply, imagine having dinner with your family at a restaurant filled with clinking dishes and conversations from nearby tables.
A high-SNR hearing aid helps filter out all that background noise, allowing you to focus effortlessly on your family’s voices—without struggling, and without asking anyone to repeat themselves!

The SoundScape platform enhances speech understanding by up to 22%. According to trials conducted by Signia, hearing aids powered by the IX SoundScape platform demonstrated an SNR improvement of 1.4 dB over other brands. This improvement is equivalent to a 22% increase in speech comprehension compared to other hearing aids.

SRT50 Testing: In noisy environments, this test measures the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at which a person can understand 50% of spoken sentences. The lower the SNR value, the better—the listener can comprehend speech even when the signal is weak compared to background noise. This indicates higher performance of the hearing aid.

In other words, in the same noisy environment, a hearing aid like the IX SoundScape, with a higher SNR, helps shift your experience from
“barely catching the words” to “clearly understanding them.”

It turns disruptive noise—like the sound of a lawnmower—into something as soft and unobtrusive as a gentle fan.

When choosing a hearing aid, don’t settle for just “being able to hear.” Aim for “hearing with clarity and understanding.”
A high-SNR hearing aid works like a directional antenna for sound, pulling meaningful conversations out of the noise and bringing them back within reach.

If you’re looking for a hearing aid with exceptional SNR performance and advanced noise reduction technology,
the Signia Silk Charge&Go IX is a choice you shouldn’t overlook.
