The Signia Fun Product Line
Expert review by Crystal Hearing Solutions Clinical Team.
Not every patient wants a hearing aid connected to a smartphone, and not every patient has a mild hearing loss that can be treated with tiny, invisible devices. For many, especially senior citizens or those with significant hearing loss, the ideal hearing aid is simply one that is highly powerful, exceptionally durable, and very easy to control manually.
Today, our audiologists are reviewing the Signia Fun product line, an entry-level, Behind-The-Ear (BTE) hearing aid family designed to deliver essential 6-channel digital sound processing and massive amplification at a highly affordable price point.
What Makes the Signia Fun Stand Out?
Before we look at the two available power levels, it is important to understand the core features that make the Signia Fun such a popular choice for straightforward, reliable hearing care:
1. 6-Channel Digital Processing
Unlike basic analog amplifiers, the Fun utilizes a 6-channel digital chip to provide clearer speech and effective feedback cancellation (stopping the hearing aid from whistling).
2. Pre-Configured Sound Profiles
Instead of requiring complex clinical programming, the Fun features 4 built-in sound profiles. With the press of a button, you can easily switch to the profile that sounds best for your specific environment.
3. Tactile Rocker Switch
Designed for patients who may struggle with tiny buttons or touchscreen apps, the Fun features a large, easy-to-feel rocker switch on the back of the device for quick volume and profile adjustments.
4. Rugged & Reliable
Built to withstand the rigors of daily life, the housing is highly resistant to moisture, sweat, dust, and dirt.
5. Traditional Battery Power
It relies on standard, easy-to-find zinc-air batteries, ensuring you can simply pop in a new battery and go without waiting for a device to charge.
Choosing the Right Power Level: Fun P vs. Fun SP
Because the Signia Fun is exclusively available in a traditional Behind-The-Ear (BTE) style, the primary clinical decision is choosing the correct power level to match your audiogram.
Here is our clinical breakdown of the two models available in the Fun lineup:
1. Signia Fun P (Power)
A strong, reliable device for significant hearing loss that still maintains a relatively compact BTE footprint.
- Degree of Loss: Moderate to Severe.
- Clinical Features: The Fun P operates on a standard Size 13 zinc-air battery. It provides excellent, clear amplification for patients who are struggling to hear daily conversations but do not quite need the absolute maximum power output. It utilizes a standard ear hook and acoustic tube to deliver sound safely into the ear.
2. Signia Fun SP (Super Power)
The ultimate heavy-duty amplifier for patients with the most significant hearing challenges.
- Degree of Loss: Severe to Profound.
- Clinical Features: The Fun SP is slightly larger because it houses a massive Size 675 battery, providing long-lasting power to drive its super-power amplifier. This model is specifically engineered for patients who are entirely reliant on their hearing aids to communicate, delivering up to 140 dB of output to ensure no conversation is missed.
Who is this hearing aid lineup best for?
The Signia Fun is a fantastic, no-nonsense essential hearing aid. It is the ideal choice if you or your loved one:
- Have severe to profound hearing loss and require a high-power BTE device.
- Prefer simple manual controls (like a physical rocker switch) over using a smartphone app to adjust the volume.
- Are looking for a highly budget-friendly, 6-channel digital hearing aid.
- Have dexterity challenges and prefer handling larger devices and larger traditional batteries.
- Want a highly durable, moisture-resistant device for straightforward, everyday wear.
