Check out our comparison of the Phonak Lyric 4 vs Signia Active Pro IX. Listen to audio samples and see how the two hearing aids differ in terms of sound performance, features, accessories, and more.
Summary
The Phonak Lyric 4 is a unique, 100% invisible hearing aid that is deeply inserted into the ear canal by a specialist and can be worn continuously for months without removal. It offers natural sound quality, comfort improvements over previous models, and is particularly effective for those with mild to moderate hearing loss, but lacks modern connectivity features like Bluetooth streaming.
The Signia Active Pro IX offers the functionality of a high-performance hearing aid in a sleek, earbud-like design, making it ideal for those who value both modern aesthetics and advanced hearing enhancement. Lab tests showed strong performance in speech clarity and music streaming, though its instant-fit design has some limitations, such as reduced feedback handling and lack of custom-fit personalization.
