KEY FEATURES
Microphone
The microphone captures environmental sounds and transmits them to the hearing aid for processing. While it’s generally recommended to avoid adjusting the microphone frequently, it’s essential to periodically inspect it to prevent potential blockages caused by hair care products or oils.
Silk Charge&Go IX hearing aids are powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, expected to last up to 26 hours/day. The battery takes about 4 hours to fully charge, and a 30 minute quick charge will get you about 7 hours of power. These batteries will last about 3 years, and the first battery replacement is covered under your 3 year hearing aid warranty.
Wax filter
When it comes to maintaining your hearing aids, this is where you’ll spend most of your time. The wax filter (mostly) prevents wax and oils from getting into the receiver/speaker. You can’t see it in this image, but it’s hidden underneath the black/transparent sleeve, which would be taken off to access the filter. Your hearing provider may supply you with wax guards enabling you to periodically change these on your own. Some people never have to change these wax filters, others have to change them weekly. Your purchase includes 1 pack of wax filters, and you can purchase additional wax filters directly from your Vr Speech And Hearing Clinic provider, or through a number of sites online such as shop.vrhearingclinic.com.
No, this hearing aid is simply too small to house the components required for Bluetooth connectivity.
No, this hearing aid is not compatible with Signia’s StreamLine TV accessory.
Signia expects the Silk battery to last 1100 charging cycles, or around 3 years. At that point, a considerable amount of the power cell’s capacity will be lost, and a new battery should be inserted, which is something Signia will do. Your hearing provider will ship the devices back to Signia for this service
You will hear an alert signal to indicate the battery is running low. The signal will be repeated every 20 minutes. Depending on the usage of your hearing aids, you have approximately 1.5 hours to charge your hearing aids before they stop working.
If plugged into an outlet a full charge takes about 4 hours. If using a Qi wireless charging pad, it will take 6 hours. A 30 minute quick charge will get you up to 7 hours of power.
The charger has a built-in battery that stores 4 full charges, so even without electricity, you can charge your hearing aids by pulling power from the charger battery. If you’re going to be “off the grid” for longer than that, Signia recommends buying the Tripp Lite model UPB-02K6-1U power pack, which is a power bank that you can plug your charger into when you need to charge your hearing aids and don’t have access to electricity.
It does not. If you live in a humid environment or sweat a lot, we’d recommend purchasing a hearing aid dehumidifier on shop.vrhearingclinic.com, as Signia doesn’t have one for this model.
A fully charged case can provide up to four full charges for a pair of Silk devices.
The Signia app will give you the most flexibility, allowing you to change volume, program, and base and treble. Or, you can use the miniPocket handheld remote which will let you change the volume and program.
To turn the hearing aid on, simply take the hearing aid out of the charger, it will auto-start. To turn the hearing aid off, place it in the charger.
Silk is ideal for mild to moderate hearing loss. If your loss is beyond that, Silk is not going to be powerful enough for you, and you shouldn’t buy it.
Yes, Silk Charge&Go IX can be used with the Silk CROS device (shown above).
Signia App
Take control of your hearing aids. This app allows you to control sound settings like volume, program, and microphone directionality. In some cases, your hearing provider can even make remote adjustments to your hearing aids through the app. An August 2022 has added some new functionality to the app that lets wearers track things like daily weartime, footsteps, and activity and conversations.
