Audiology support:
You may already have a hearing test audiogram, or you may need some support to understand the extent of your hearing loss, or which hearing aid to choose. Whatever your situation, talk to us about how we can help and book a free consultation with one of our audiologists through this link: audiology consultation
Remote Adjustments:
This hearing aid comes with access to the free Signia App, meaning the audiologist can make adjustments where needed, all from the comfort of your home. You can also update the aids yourself, using your Smartphone and the Bluetooth assistant, where you can adjust not only the volume but also the listening programme.
The Signia MiniPocket remote control is also available to purchase and use instead of the App to adjust the volume and help you change between programmes.
Available in 5 colours, (silver, rose gold, beige, dark champagne and graphite), with a tangible rocker switch for easier adjustments and a Pure Portable Charger included, (video available here), the Signia Pure Charge&Go 1AX hearing aid tackles all of the real life acoustic challenges.
N.B. This model requires programming and configuration. Delivery can take between 5 and 7 working days.

Looks
The Signia Pure Charge&Go 1AX can be ordered in the following colours: beige, dark champagne, silver, rose gold and graphite. Its ergonomic and rounded shape sits snugly and discreetly behind your ear, with a thin silicon-plastic tubing directing the amplified sound into the ear canal. A dome is attached to the end of the thin tubing, helping the thin tubing to sit comfortably in the ear canal. The thin tubing should sit close to the side of the head, and when in place correctly, offers a discreet fitting. The tubes have coloured numbers printed onto them – designating red for the right-sided tubing and ear and blue for left sided tubing.

How to buy
Select which ear you wish to wear the hearing aid on (left / right / both); select the colour then add to basket. Check-out and purchase with Visa / Mastercard or PayPal (where there is a 'Pay-in-3' option for an interest-free 3 month split payment plan)
Your order will be posted directly to you via Royal Mail for a 30 day home trial. Everything you need to try the aid for this period is included.
Many customers have a copy of their audiogram (hearing test result on a graph) from an NHS appointment or from one of the high street stores and will email us a copy before ordering - If you can, please send yours to audiology@hearingdirect.com.
If the hearing aid is appropriate for the hearing loss, we use the audiogram results to program the initial settings of the hearing aid.
Dont worry if an audiogram is not available; you can begin with our standard setting – geared to suit a mild to moderate, mainly high frequency hearing loss. This is the type of hearing loss we commonly see in those with age-related or noise-induced hearing losses.
Another option is to complete the online hearing check, which, if completed as instructed, gives a reasonable estimate of someone’s middle and high frequency hearing: https://www.hearingdirect.com/pages/hearing-test. If you wish for your online hearing check result to be used with your order you will need to let us know before or just after your order is placed.
Please talk to us if you need anything else regarding the set up further customised. We are real people, and would love to help provide the best possible starting point for you.
Once you've received the hearing aid it's a case of trying out the physical fit and the sound. If you need any adjustments, some can be done remotely if you've downloaded the Signia App – or we can reprogramme in house if the aid is posted back. Email or call us and we will help immediately or set up a time to discuss your requirements in more detail. If you choose to send the hearing aid back to us in the post for reprogramming we will extend your 30 day trial by a week to account for postage times.
If the sound or physical fit of the product is not to your satisfaction, our 30 day money back guarantee is a no quibble policy.
Maintenance
How much will it cost to run the Signia Pure Charge&Go 1AX? The following items will need to be replaced:
- Signia Sleeves Domes:change the dome every month on average (10 domes in a pack)
- Signia MiniReceiver 3.0 Standard Power:change the tubing every 3-4 months
- Signia MiniReceiver Wax Guards: change the wax guards as needed
How do I turn the Signia Pure Charge&Go 1AX On/off? Just press the switch button for 3 seconds. You can watch this video to help you with this.
How do I work the controls? There is a rocker switch to change between settings. A short press up or down will change volume, a 1-2 second longer press will change programme. The settings can also be changed via the Signia App so you don’t have to touch the hearing aid at all; or via the Signia miniPocket remote control if you don’t wish to use a smartphone App. If you have two hearing aids, one will be dedicated to volume changes and the other to the programs changes.
How do I clean the hearing aid? The most important part of maintenance involves cleaning the tubing and dome. These have a very narrow and small opening where the amplified sound comes out, and it is very easy for this to become blocked with wax, even after first use. The domes and tubings are not included in the hearing aid warranty as they are considered replaceable accessories. Domes can be removed from the tubings (pull off) and cleaned separately – taking extreme care to push back onto the tubing securely. The cleaning wire is a useful tool to use to thread all the way through the tubing (once removed by twisting it off the top of the hearing aid) to ensure no moisture / wax build up.
Signia has put together a lot of videos to help their customers with their hearing aids. They are all available through this link
