Rexton Reach R Plus: Real User Feedback & Signia Comparison

Rexton Reach R Plus, also called Reach R-Li T BC, is a rechargeable receiver-in-canal hearing aid. This page covers the premium configuration (R Plus 80), the only option available at Costco. While we have not tested the R Plus in the lab, we believe it is technologically very similar to the Signia Pure C&G BCT IX 7, which has been tested (results below).

Premium Reach technology

The Reach R Plus uses Rexton’s Multi-Voice Focus technology to manage speech in group conversations. According to the company, it scans the surroundings 1,000 times per second and uses four independent focus beams to track speakers as the conversation shifts, without requiring manual program changes. Voice Stabilizer adjusts compression with the aim of preserving the contrast between speech and background noise.

HearAdvisor’s testing of the comparable Signia Pure Charge&Go BCT 7IX offers some context for these claims. After professional tuning, the Signia scored 3.8 for speech in quiet and 2.5 for speech in noise, both modestly above the prescription hearing aid category averages. That suggests competitive speech performance, although other tested models performed better in background noise. These are results for the Signia; direct testing would be needed to establish whether the Reach R Plus performs similarly.

Rexton’s My Voice 2.0 processes the wearer’s own voice separately from surrounding sounds to improve listening comfort. Own-voice quality was a relative strength in the Signia testing, scoring 3.8, well above the prescription category average. However, that result also reflects the vented sleeves used during testing; a more closed fitting can make the wearer’s voice sound boomier.

For professional customization, the Reach R Plus offers 48 processing channels, 20 fitting controls, and six listening programs. Its feature set also includes Speech Preservation Technology and a motion sensor. The Signia results illustrate how programming can affect performance, although the improvements were modest in this case: tuning increased speech in quiet from 3.5 to 3.8, while speech in noise remained at 2.5. The practical value of these adjustment options depends on how they are used to fit the individual wearer.

How does Reach R Plus compare with Signia 7IX?

The Reach R Plus has much in common with Signia’s premium Pure Charge&Go 7IX. Both offer 48 processing channels, 20 fitting controls, and six listening programs, and several of their sound-processing features serve similar purposes under different names.

Both brands describe conversation processing that updates 1,000 times per second. Rexton describes four focus beams, while Signia lists three dynamic focus streams plus one front-facing focus stream. These descriptions suggest closely related approaches, although they do not confirm identical processing.

Like Reach R Plus, the BCT 7IX offers Bluetooth Classic, a telecoil, and a stated battery life of up to 54 hours without streaming, or 36 hours including five hours of streaming. The similarities make Signia’s premium BCT model a useful reference point, but matching specifications alone cannot establish identical real-world performance.

Fitting and accessories

S, M, P, and HP receivers are available. Receiver power and earpiece coupling determine the fitting range. Rexton App includes Rexton Assist; live and portal-based TeleCare depend on provider availability.

Supported accessories include Smart Key, TV Sound, Charging Station, Travel Charger, Charging+ Station, Universal Cable Charger, and Reach CROS R-Li T BC. Smart Mic and Smart Transmitter 2.4 are not listed as compatible. Programming uses Noahlink Wireless.

Costco pricing

Costco lists two Reach R Plus hearing aids and a premium travel charger starting at $1,599.99, with prices varying by state. The charger provides up to three additional full charges.

What owners are reporting

The forum adds useful detail about everyday use. These accounts describe individual fittings and phone setups; they are not lab tests or a representative sample of R Plus owners.

Speech and streaming can leave different impressions. One owner who identified their hearing aids as Reach R-Li T BC, the model name on Rexton's R Plus feature sheet, liked hearing nearby voices in noisy settings and the compact size. They also reported disappointing streamed sound, Rexton App crashes with a Pixel 8, and intrusive wind noise. After trying Jabra, the same owner still preferred the Rexton's sound and group-conversation performance. That is one person's comparison, with their own fitting and phone.

Simple app controls can be useful. An owner two weeks into a Reach Plus R-Li trial initially thought the Rexton App looked basic, but came to appreciate how quickly they could adjust focus, volume, and tone (called Balance). They were still comparing custom earmolds with domes and had not reached a final verdict on the hearing aids.

Try calls after restarting the hearing aids. A Reach Plus owner using a Pixel 9 with Android 16 reported losing Phone and Media toggles after restarts, leaving call routing unpredictable. Re-pairing temporarily restored the controls; the thread had no confirmed resolution when checked on September 28, 2026.

During your trial, test incoming and outgoing calls, streaming, conversation in noise, and an outdoor walk using your own phone. Check that the app controls and earpiece fit work for you, too. Bring recurring problems to your fitter, and check that troubleshooting instructions apply to R Plus rather than the earlier Reach.
