In this episode of YourTechReport, Marc Aflalo and Mitchell Whitfield sit down with audiologist and WS Audiology product manager Michèle Dostaler to dive into the cutting-edge technology behind Signia’s newest hearing solutions. The discussion centers around the newly announced Signia Pure Charge&Go BCT IX, a breakthrough device that redefines what hearing aids can be—with no compromises on sound quality, battery life, or connectivity.

Signia’s BCT IX delivers up to 36 hours of battery life with 5 hours of streaming, thanks to an innovative Bluetooth® Classic implementation and ultra-efficient battery design. Dostaler explains how this long-anticipated feat bridges a critical gap in the industry: offering universal device compatibility and extended runtime without sacrificing size or performance.

But the real star is RealTime Conversation Enhancement (RTCE)—Signia’s proprietary feature that intelligently enhances speech from multiple speakers in real time, even as they move. This addresses one of the most common complaints from hearing aid users: difficulty understanding speech in noisy group environments.

The episode also explores the deeper impact of hearing health—from how untreated hearing loss contributes to cognitive decline, to the social isolation and anxiety many users face. Dostaler emphasizes how modern hearing aids—especially when properly fitted and personalized—can help people reclaim not just their hearing, but their quality of life.

The conversation wraps with a look at Widex Allure, another WS Audiology product praised for delivering natural sound through ultra-low-latency processing, along with the future of cloud-based fitting, making it easier than ever for users to receive updates and fine-tuning remotely.
