We physically review the leading hearing aids on the market for sound quality, comfort, durability, and more. Our review process starts with hands-on unboxing and days, weeks, or months of wear. We also record live sound demos using a calibrated binaural microphone (read more here). We experiment with backend fitting software for prescription products and use test box measures to measure prescriptive accuracy and flexibility. Our work is funded through reader support.

Fast Facts About Signia BCT IX

  • Signia Pure Charge&Go BCT IX is the brand’s new flagship model.
  • Available exclusively in a receiver-in-canal (RIC) form factor, though Signia offers other styles.
  • Uses Bluetooth Classic for seamless streaming with both Android and iPhone devices.
  • Impressive 36+ hour battery life on a single charge, with a sleek recharge case.
  • Prescription-only product, requiring professional programming and typically a visit to a local audiologist.

Why We Rate Signia BCT IX as a Top Prescription Hearing Aid in 2025


Exceptional Sound Processing

We've tested every leading prescription hearing aid brand, and Signia consistently ranks among the best for handling background noise and clarifying speech.

While Phonak and ReSound often get more attention for AI-driven features, Signia's dual-chip technology takes a different approach. Instead of dedicating a second chip to AI, Signia uses one chip for noise reduction and another for voice management—based on our tests, that strategy is be working. We find that Signia IX does as well as anyone when managing background noise and outperforms the field with soft talkers.

One standout feature is Own Voice Processing (OVP), which records the wearer’s voice and actively reduces its amplification. This small but crucial adjustment significantly improves comfort, preventing the sensation of hearing your own voice too loudly.

Overall we are big fans of the Signia sound profile and recommend this product to a lot of the folks we work with here at Soundly.


Compact and Comfortable Design

The Pure Charge&Go BCT IX is one of the smallest behind-the-ear hearing aids available, rivaled only by the ReSound Viva. It fits discreetly behind the ear, with a nearly invisible receiver wire.

The latest version also includes minor but meaningful improvements to the pushbuttons for easier usability.


Industry-Leading Battery Life

Battery performance is another standout feature. The Signia Pure Charge&Go BCT IX lasts up to 36 hours on a single charge.

For ease of use, Signia offers multiple dexterity-friendly charging options, including:

  • A compact travel charger
  • A charger with a built-in dehumidifier
  • A UV-light disinfecting charger


Improved Bluetooth Connectivity

Signia’s 2025 decision to use Bluetooth Classic surprised some tech enthusiasts but is a win for consumers. Unlike other hearing aids that rely on Apple’s and Google’s accessibility settings—sometimes leading to connectivity frustrations—Bluetooth Classic allows easy pairing with nearly any device (just like headphones and speakers).

This means simpler, more reliable streaming across iPhone, Android, tablets, and more.


Signia App With Assistant

The Signia app serves as a remote control and customization tool for BCT IX users. Available on both iOS and Android, the app allows wearers to:

  • Adjust volume and sound balance in real-time.
  • Switch between listening programs based on their environment.
  • Enable Own Voice Processing (OVP) adjustments for better comfort.
  • Use AI-powered "Signia Assistant" for automatic fine-tuning based on usage patterns and natural language feedback.
  • Access remote support from an audiologist for fine-tuning without an in-person visit.


Our Overall Thoughts

Signia might not be the most talked-about hearing aid brand—perhaps because it’s newer than some competitors—but it delivers a strong blend of innovation, functionality, and reliability.

With exceptional sound processing, strong Bluetooth connectivity, long battery life, and an intuitive design, the BCT IX is among our top-rated prescription hearing aid for 2025.

We’re excited to see how Signia continues pushing the industry forward.
