Signia · Active IX · earbud-style instant fit
Signia Active hearing aid
The Signia Active is a rechargeable, earbud-style hearing aid that fits instantly without a custom ear-mould. It looks like a modern wireless earbud rather than a hearing aid, and it is built for active adults with mild to moderately-severe hearing loss who want help that does not announce itself.
What the Signia Active is
The current Signia Active runs on Signia's latest Integrated Xperience (IX) platform. It is an instant-fit, in-the-ear device that sits like an earbud, and it is fitted by our audiologists to your own hearing test. Here are the facts that matter.
- Form factor
Earbud-style, instant fit
It sits in your ear like a true-wireless earbud, held by soft silicone Click Sleeves in a few sizes. No ear impression and no custom shell, so it can often be fitted the same day you decide.
- Hearing loss
Mild to moderately-severe
The Active is fitted across roughly a 10-80 dB range, covering mild through moderately-severe loss. For severe or profound loss you need a more powerful behind-the-ear model instead.
- Power tier
16-channel Signia IX
The standard Active uses Signia's Integrated Xperience platform with 16 processing channels, including RealTime Conversation Enhancement to keep speech clearer when several people are talking at once.
- Battery
Rechargeable, all day
A built-in lithium-ion battery gives a full day on one charge, including some streaming. It drops into a pocket-sized charging case overnight, with no tiny disposable cells to fiddle with.
- Connectivity
Bluetooth + Signia app
Stream calls, music and podcasts from your iPhone and compatible Android phones, and adjust volume and programs quietly from the Signia app. The aids double as discreet earphones.
- Standout feature
Own Voice Processing
Signia's OVP handles your own voice separately from everything else, so you sound natural to yourself rather than boomy or 'in a barrel': the complaint that puts many first-time users off hearing aids.
Who the Signia Active suits (and who should look elsewhere)
The Active is a genuinely good aid for the right ear, but it is not for everyone. The honest test is your audiogram, not the look. Here is where it shines and where another model will serve you better.
- Good fit
Younger, first-time users
If a visible hearing aid has put you off, the Active looks like a hearable, not a medical device. It suits tech-comfortable adults picking up their first pair.
- Good fit
You stream from your phone a lot
If you are on calls, podcasts and music through your phone all day, direct Bluetooth streaming into both ears is a real everyday upgrade over ordinary earbuds you keep swapping in and out.
- Good fit
You want a same-day fit
Because it uses instant Click Sleeves rather than a moulded shell, you can usually walk out wearing it the same day, correctly programmed to your hearing test.
- Look elsewhere
Severe or profound loss
The Active tops out around moderately-severe. For stronger loss a behind-the-ear model such as the Signia Motion range delivers more clean power. We will tell you honestly at your test.
- Look elsewhere
You want it near-invisible
The Active is discreet, but it sits in the outer ear. If being nearly invisible matters most, an in-canal option like the Signia Silk or a custom Insio hides deeper in the canal.
- Look elsewhere
Toughest noise, all day
For constant restaurant, meeting and crowd listening, the 48-channel Signia Active Pro or a top-level Pure IX handles noise better. That is a step up in price, not a different shape.
Signia Active price and value in India
The Signia Active is sold as a kit, meaning a pair of aids with a charging case. We never invent a single headline price, because your figure depends on the model tier and any running offer. Here is honest MRP context, and what actually changes it.
- MRP
Signia Active (Active IX)
The standard Active is listed at about Rs 1,59,990 for a pair, with its charging case. This is the model most people mean by 'the Signia Active'.
- MRP
Signia Active Pro (Active IX)
The premium Active Pro, with 48 channels and a longer 4-year warranty, is listed at about Rs 3,24,990 for a pair. It shares the same earbud shape as the standard Active.
- Your price
Up to 20-30% below MRP
Prudent sells genuine Signia up to 20-30% under these MRPs, so your real figure lands well below the list. Hearing aids are GST-exempt in India, and 0% EMI is available. We confirm the exact price at your appointment.
How we fit the Signia Active at Prudent
A hearing aid manages hearing loss, it does not cure it, so the fitting behind the device decides how well you actually hear. Every Signia Active we sell is fitted this way by an RCI-registered audiologist.
- Step 1
Free 45-minute hearing test
An RCI-registered audiologist maps your hearing on an audiogram. That is what decides whether the Active is right for you, or whether another shape or power level will serve you better.
- Step 2
Verified fitting
We program the Active to your exact loss and check it on your ears, so you get the amplification your test calls for, not a factory default guess.
- Step 3
Instant fit and a real trial
With Click Sleeves the Active can be worn the same day. You trial the recommended settings, in and outside the clinic, before you pay a rupee.
- Step 4
Free lifetime aftercare
Hearing changes over time. We re-tune, clean and service your Active for the life of the device at our Pune, Delhi and Bengaluru clinics, plus home visits around those cities.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Signia Active look like a hearing aid?
Not really. It is built to look like a true-wireless earbud that sits in your ear, which is exactly why younger and first-time users pick it. It is discreet, though it sits in the outer ear rather than deep in the canal. If you want near-invisible, ask us about the in-canal Signia Silk instead.
Is the Signia Active good for severe hearing loss?
No. The Active is designed for mild to moderately-severe loss, roughly up to 80 dB. For severe or profound loss you will hear better with a more powerful behind-the-ear model such as the Signia Motion range. Your free hearing test tells us which power level you actually need.
What is the difference between the Signia Active and the Active Pro?
They share the same earbud shape and rechargeable design. The Active Pro steps up to 48 processing channels, against 16 on the standard Active, with stronger noise and streaming performance and a longer 4-year warranty. The Pro costs more; whether it is worth it depends on how demanding your day-to-day listening is, which we talk through at your test.
Is the Signia Active rechargeable, and how long does a charge last?
Yes. It has a built-in lithium-ion battery that lasts a full day on one charge, including some streaming, and it comes with a pocket-sized charging case. You just drop it in overnight, so there are no tiny disposable batteries to change.
How much does the Signia Active cost in India?
The standard Signia Active (Active IX) is listed at about Rs 1,59,990 for a pair, and the premium Active Pro at about Rs 3,24,990 for a pair. At Prudent you pay up to 20-30% below MRP, hearing aids are GST-exempt, and 0% EMI is available. We confirm your exact price at your appointment.
Do I need an ear-mould, and can I try it before I buy?
No mould is needed for the standard fit. The Active uses instant Click Sleeves, so it can often be fitted the same day. After a free hearing test we let you trial the recommended Active, in and outside our clinic, before you decide. A hearing aid manages hearing loss rather than curing it, so hearing the difference yourself first matters more than any spec sheet.
Try the Signia Active before you pay for it
Book a free 45-minute hearing test at our Pune, Delhi or Bengaluru clinic, or ask for a home visit, and trial the Signia Active for yourself. Genuine units with full manufacturer warranty, up to 20-30% off MRP, GST-exempt pricing and 0% EMI. Call +91 9429690093.
