Signia Pure 312 AX

No. Streaming audio from the TV requires the StreamLine TV accessory.

Signia hearing aids are Made for iPhone, which means they can directly stream audio like phone calls and music. You can now also stream directly to many Android devices running on Android 11 and higher. If you don't have a compatible iPhone or Android phone, you can still stream audio to your hearing aids, but it requires buying the StreamLine Mic accessory, which creates a Bluetooth connection between your hearing aids and phone.

If you have an iPhone 11 or newer, running on iOS 15.1 or newer, and the 3, 5, or 7 AX model, you're able to talk on the phone hands-free. With all other phones, hands-free phone calls will only work via the StreamLine Mic accessory. When talking on the phone, you'll hear the caller through the hearing aids, but in order for them to hear you (and for you to use the phone truly hands-free), you'd need to use the StreamLine Mic accessory, which has a microphone on it that will pack up your voice so the caller can hear you.

About 20 minutes to an hour before your battery quits, the hearing aid will play a low battery notification of steady beeps or a melodic tune. Your hearing provider can demonstrate this sound for you in the fitting software so you know what to expect.

Battery life varies depending on numerous factors, but you should expect 4-6 days from a battery.

For most people, no, the 312 battery is not hard to change. If you're concerned about this, you may want to check out one of Signia's rechargeable models, so you don't have to change the battery.

Using the onboard pushbutton, or the miniPocket remote, you can control the volume and program. Using the Signia app, you can control volume, program, base and treble, and on 5 and 7 models, you can control the directionality of the microphones, helping to reduce background noise in a challenging listening environment.

To turn the hearing aid on, simply close the battery door. Opening the battery door will turn the hearing aid off.
