Signia Styletto 7 X - Rechargeable

Super device !

After trying several models - namely Phonak Paradise, Starkey Livio and Signia Styletto 7X - I chose the latter. Not because of the sound quality, because there did not seem to be much difference between the three models. But because the Styletto's slim model sat very well behind the ears - it's a lot slimmer and more elongated than the other devices.



My previous device was a Resound Lynx, first model from 2014, which you could control with an iPhone app. What I immediately noticed was that the sound quality of all three devices I tried was much higher, so it was worth upgrading. Technology has apparently made great strides in a short time.



What I appreciated was the simplicity of the Styletto. While Phonak Paradise and Starkey Livio have a number of additional features that the Stylettos don't, some of them either work poorly (e.g., the tap on the ear to answer a phone with Phonak Paradise) or are useless (e.g., Starkey Livio's translation feature, which is quite time-consuming, or doesn't provide an accurate translation). These functions seem more like gadgets and do not contribute to the purpose for which you wear a hearing aid, namely better hearing.



Compared to these other devices, the Styletto's are simpler in terms of available features, but they all work perfectly.



I also really appreciated the patience with which Mrs. L. Lambrecht kindly helped me during several home visits.
