I Was told to update my Signia Silk C&G 7IX hearing aids this morning. It said it was for the Bluetooth. I took the update and it said no issues.
I didn’t think these silks would have Auracast update firmware in the future like the IX’s?
Anyway, I don’t see anything on my phone app or software for Bluetooth. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Yeah but your model doesn’t do Bluetooth streaming right? So the update didn’t do anything.

The Signia Silk Charge&Go IX is a groundbreaking, rechargeable completely-in-canal () hearing aid designed for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. It offers up to 28 hours of battery life, instant fit with soft silicone ear tips, and...

Well maybe it updated with what it says in the second line?
I can’t complain about these aids. Working from home and hardly ever on the phone, bluetooth is not a concern for me. Battery life is incredible!

The Silk C&G is a which doesn’t have wireless capabilities. It won’t get the update.

Bluetooth is only available for (Styletto C&G IX and Pure C&G IX).

@pmc1978, this is not true about having no wireless capabilities. While all models of Signia Silk C&G IX don’t have Bluetooth connectivity, they do have innovative wireless audio connectivity with a smartphone and online internet connectivity for making necessary internal program adjustments.

This is my understanding as well: The phone app emits a very high-frequency chirp that is captured by the hearing aids, causing the change (volume, etc). I wouldn’t call this innovative but the opposite: It is rudimentary and simple.

I once noticed that if you turn off the volume in the app, a warning message appears, stating that the volume must be kept at a minimum to make changes to the aids.
