Why should a hearing aid look like a hearing aid? That’s the question Sivantos engineers asked themselves while designing this hearing aid.

Styletto is a rechargeable SLIM RIC that features a contemporary design and breaks the mold of a traditional looking behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids.

This has a lithium- ion battery technology through which Signia Siemens is staying true to its new rechargeable hearing aid trend. By not conforming to the traditional size and shape of a button cell, Styletto has lived up to the promise of a stylish sleek modern looking hearing aid.

The new RIC hearing aid Styletto, also uses the Signia Nx platform with Own Voice Processing (OVP), which also comes with an extremely small charger that offers fast charging solutions as well as three full charges on the go. The world’s first SLIM-RIC hearwear has truly combined style with high-technology hearing performance powered by Signia Nx and has entered the global market with a Big Bang impressing even the skeptic consumers.
