Frequently Asked Questions about Augmented Xperience (AX)
Augmented Xperience
What is Augmented Focus?
Augmented Focus is a revolutionary processing strategy that separates incoming signals such as speech and background noise into two categories - Focus Area and Ambient Sound - and processes them independently. The processing of Focus Area sound is designed to make speech crisp and clear with full dynamics, bringing it even closer to the listener than in real life. The Ambient Sound category is processed to attenuate background noise so that it is not intrusive, while keeping the acoustic environment intact and preserving important cues to help the wearer identify and locate sound sources.
Can Signia AX connect to both iPhones and Android smartphones?
Yes. Signia AX can connect to the Signia app which is available for both iOS and Android. Signia AX can also stream audio from iPhones, as well as from compatible Android devices via ASHA.
What is Auto EchoShield?
Auto EchoShield works within the Universal program to automatically analyze the acoustic characteristics of every room and adapt the signal processing to optimize clear speech and good sound quality in both high and low reverberation environments.
What is Own Voice Processing 2.0?
Signia's unique Own Voice Processing technology recognizes the hearing aid wearer's own voice and dynamically adjusts to always keep it comfortable. Own Voice Processing 2.0 builds upon this by harnessing the split processing technology of the AX platform for even more processing precision and an even better own voice experience.
