You have purchased – or plan to purchase – a modern hearing aid from Signia, and now, of course, you want to get the most out of your new hearing aid. Thanks to the new Signia Pure Charge&Go BCT IX, pairing with your mobile is easier than ever. But how exactly does it work? And what can you do with it?
In this blog, we will explain it to you step by step. We will show you how to pair the hearing aid with an iPhone, an Android phone, a laptop or PC, and how to use multiple devices at the same time. We’ll also tell you why this new technology makes a real difference in your everyday life.
Why pair your Signia hearing aid with your cell phone?
It’s almost a given these days that devices talk to each other wirelessly. But with hearing aids, that’s not always user-friendly – until now.
With the latest technology in the Signia Pure Charge&Go BCT IX, pairing becomes as easy as Bluetooth headphones. And the great thing is: it doesn’t matter if you have an iPhone or Android phone. That means you:
- Hands-free calling without taking your phone out of your pocket
- Hear audio directly from your phone (music, podcasts, videos) through your hearing aids
- You can adjust the settings of your hearing aids yourself via an app
This is not only convenient, but it also increases your independence. And that’s what we think is important at Horend Goed.
What’s new about the Signia Pure Charge&Go BCT IX?
The BCT IX is a special model within the Signia family. “BCT” stands for Bluetooth Classic Technology, and that means specifically that these hearing aids can pair with more devices than previous Signia models. Consider:
- Smartphones
- Tablets
- Laptops
- Desktop Computers
- And even multiple devices at the same time!
The new pairing method works stably, quickly and is widely compatible. Whether you have an iPhone or a Samsung phone – this Signia works with both.
