The Signia Insio 7 AX Charge&Go in review
Diese Technik ist bereits etwas veraltet und erhält daher einen Abzug in der Gesamtbewertung. Neuer und besser ist der aktuelle Signia IX-Chip.
Here we take a look at a hearing aid at the highest quality level that is worn in the ear. It is called Insio 7 AX Charge&Go and is made by the manufacturer Signia. It can be used by all people with moderate, severe, and changing hearing losses who desire a small hearing aid. Due to its direct placement in the ear canal, it has very good sound properties.
With this model from the latest Signia AX family, the traditional company is taking new directions and impressing us with the modern design.
Hearing comfort
The comfort features determine how enjoyable listening is in everyday life. We were impressed by the excellent sound management of this hearing aid. A classic noise suppression is intended to reduce annoying background noise to a tolerable level. In the Insio 7 AX Charge&Go, the manufacturer has made an effort and included efficient noise reduction. This device features excellent wind management, making outdoor stays enjoyable.
The suppression of short, loud sound events has convinced us here; it is indeed powerful. Spatial hearing is reliably supported by multifunctional microphones and is definitely practical. A brilliant listening experience is based, among other things, on the number of frequency bands. The more bands there are and the narrower the individual frequency channels, the better the hearing aid can be adjusted to individual preferences. Here we have 20 bands. This not only allows for an outstanding sound impression but also enables very precise speech and noise suppression.
Despite modern comfort features, tricky hearing situations can still arise. For this, the Insio 7 AX Charge&Go has an assistance mode in its app. Behind it is an artificial intelligence that analyzes the current environment and calculates a noticeably better setting.
With an excellent input dynamic of the microphones over 117dB and a transmission up to 12kHz, you won't miss any details. Even in speech comprehension, sound variety plays a significant role in clarity.

Operation & connectivity
The operation options for hearing aids today are as simple or as complex as anyone would like. The basic functions operate fully automatically, of course. We wanted to know how users can additionally access the Insio 7 AX Charge&Go. The simplest control option is always a button directly on the hearing aid. This one has that too. It can be programmed according to your wishes. Do you desire a manual volume control? No problem, the button allows for a stepwise adjustment of the volume. Or do you need different special programs for your professional everyday life or your hobbies? These can also be activated via the button. Anyone who wants to keep everything in automatic mode can simply ignore the button or even have it deactivated. A discreet way to change the hearing aid is the remote control. It fits in any pocket. When the person across from you is speaking too quietly again, one or two clicks are enough to adjust the volume. Additional hearing programs for listening to music or for driving can also be activated with the remote control.
Some hearing aids can already be controlled by voice, but this one from Signia unfortunately cannot yet. It would be practical when fingers are not as mobile anymore, or when you simply like smart gadgets. In addition to buttons or remote controls, some hearing aids also have tap control. This means you can simply tap your ear briefly, and then the device switches. However, we do not have that here at Signia, as it would have required specific sensors.
Setting loudness or special functions via an app is already widespread today, and the Insio 7 AX Charge&Go also goes this route and provides us with an app. This app offers far more than just hearing aid functions and hints at what hearing aids could be used for in the future – besides good listening. You no longer need headphones here because it has a wireless option and can transmit sounds from the smartphone directly to the ears – if the smartphone is equipped with 2.4 GHz LE technology.
A hearing aid that not only looks like modern earbuds but can also do everything. Hands-free is currently only possible with iOS smartphones. On this manufacturer's page Signia, you can find out if your smartphone is compatible.

Simplicity & security
User-friendliness is the next aspect we want to focus on. This is about everyday usability and the question of how easy and safe it is to go through life with the hearing aid. With top-notch situation recognition, the Insio 7 AX Charge&Go has completely convinced us. The hearing aid seamlessly adapts to the acoustical environment and rarely requires our intervention. Listening feels completely natural. The adjustment to the new hearing experience is supported by a fully automatic acclimatization manager. It adjusts the amplification in barely noticeable steps until my hearing loss is completely compensated. All I have to do is wear my hearing aids regularly.
Easy handling in everyday life definitely includes the power supply. The Insio 7 AX Charge&Go has a built-in rechargeable battery and can be recharged multiple times. Since a single charge lasts for the entire day, we don't have to worry about the battery dying in the middle of a conversation.
A solid protection against dust and moisture is also important for a secure everyday feeling. However, there is no IP certification. Presumably, this model is not really well-equipped against penetrating dust or moisture. This is not up-to-date and results in a deduction of points.

Extras
Everyone appreciates a few extra features, so let's see if we can find something here: The tinnitus program is definitely worth mentioning. Those who are troubled by annoying ear noises will benefit from it. Pleasant, quiet sounds are set to gently surround the tinnitus. In the end, the tinnitus fades into the background noise and is no longer distracting.
A real added value is the remote maintenance service. To change the hearing aid settings, you no longer have to go to the specialist store, but can contact the acoustician directly via the app. Through a cloud service, you can then upload the new data package to the hearing aids. This is exactly what we expect from a modern hearing aid.
With hearing aids, you can do much more than just hear. Here in the Insio 7 AX Charge&Go, for example, there is the option to analyze your movement data. Then you can check in the evening how far you have walked. This kind of health tracking is interesting for many customers, so that additional functions could be added through future updates. The hearing aid does not include extra features such as special assistance systems, a fall alert, or speech translators. However, this is not a big deal, as it does not affect the important hearing functions.
