Some Rexton hearing aids will be ‘better’ on paper, than some Siemens hearing aids. There is some overlap in performance between the Signia and Rexton brands. Now that we know Specsavers 816/616 are really Rexton HAs we have more information so can do a better comparison. I am primarily interested in comparing the Primax Pure against the SpecSavers 816/616. Regarding the Primax there are some sub-categories: Siemens branded hearing aids, have a different Audio Exchange technology called SmartHearing.

For example SpecSavers Advance 816/616 have Rexton QuadCore technology (you can see the logo in the scans above), this is just a generic marketing term for certain features primarily Audio Exchange. They do have same or similar hardware but the programming(software) is different. The Specsavers Advanced line manufactured by Siemens is bases on Rexton technology NOT Siemens technology. NO! In the UK, SpecSavers order their hearing aids from Siemens UK, so my experience is that some audiologists will swear blind that the Advance line are identical in programming to Siemens HA but with a few external differences. Do Specsavers Advance have the same technology as Siemens Branded Hearing Aids ? Also Rexton hearing aids are manufactured by Siemens. In fact in the UK – the Siemens Primax 7 is also called the Signia Primax 7.

The specifications are below in the 1st and 3rd columns. The Siemens models I was considering are: The middle digit indicates the Manufacurer.

Note that SpecSavers have 3 different models they call Elite. The SpecSavers Model Numbers are 3 digits. If you have trouble reading the scans below – I also have the specs of the of the hearing aids they are based on.

I want to upgrade from my NHS BTE (Siemens Octiv M) to RIC. I have moderate bilateral high frequency hearing loss, and use open domes. The information below focuses on my requirements. However as soon as finally I saw the spec sheet of the next model up, I realised the advanced Wind Cancellation could be quite important to me.

Wireless/Bluetooth Streaming option? directional microphones?, I want to know as much as possible.įor example, I neglected to mention that I am a keen cyclist, so my audiologist recommended the best HA based on the needs that I communicated at the time. But being a fairly reflective person I tend to think of them as soon as I’ve walked out of the session. While this is approach is ideal for some, for me I still had more questions. Also the audiologist will understandably use the simplest broadest terms describing features in a fairly generic way. I’ve never spent so much money on something (£2,000) and been told so little about it. If you want any more details you have to discuss with the audiologist. At the moment SpecSavers go for a simple option. As technology changes and we become more technology literate, I think there will be increasing demand from some customers to know more about the technical features and capabilities of their hearing aids.
