A game-changing solution
When getting fitted with hearing aids for the first time, there’s a lot of information to take in. Many new wearers feel insecure in handling and cleaning their devices when they get home. Some even stop using the hearing aids if a problem occurs. As a result, you can often find yourself repeating information and instructions during follow-up appointments.
The Signia Assistant resolves these issues brilliantly. It provides your clients with easy answers to all questions on handling, including showing them helpful videos in the app that are relevant to their specific device. In this way, people get the support they need during the entire onboarding process and you can spend the time at follow-up appointments more effectively.
By providing tailored settings specific to each individual, Signia Assistant increases the benefit of the hearing aids, according to 87% of wearers.¹ Strongly perceived as a meaningful innovation, the Signia Assistant also drives sales because an overwhelming 87% of consumers would choose hearing aids with such an assistant when buying new devices.¹
After using the Signia Assistant and experiencing its benefits, 8 out of 10 people would recommend trying hearing aids with the Signia Assistant to a friend. Only Signia offers such a comprehensive and convincing solution, making Signia Assistant a great differentiator for your business.¹
