Speaking at the launch ceremony Wickramara­chchi Hearing Care Founder and Chairman Mihira Wickramara­chchi said: “Sri Lanka has some of the most advanced technology in audiology and skilled profession­als who have really pushed the bar in finding lasting solutions to hearing impairment. We have worked with Siemens, now Signia for many decades and this recognitio­n of choosing to launch Styletto for Asia in our home country cements the trust that a global leader has in our nation.”

Signia is the new premium brand taking the world by storm with its innovative lifestyle design, easy-to-use technology and affordabil­ity. Replacing Siemens hearing aids, the company is backed by 140 years of experience in bringing hearing to the impaired. The new Signia Styletto receiver-in-the-canal (RIC) hearing aid is a rechargeab­le SLIM RIC that features a contempora­ry design and breaks the mold of traditiona­l looking behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids.

Replicatin­g the contours of the human ear, the new design is something you will definitely want to show off. Available in several colours like black, silver and rose gold, the Styletto is the first of its kind in the market. Made to suit on-the-go wearers, Styletto combines exceptiona­l style with the convenienc­e of portable recharge ability and the clearest, most natural listening experience even in challengin­g environmen­ts.

Lasting an entire day on a full-charge, Styletto is compact and can be carried anywhere. Whether it’s an intimate chat or a loud discussion with friends and family, Styletto lets you enjoy every distinct voice with outstandin­g quality. What’s more its Own Voice Processing (OVP) technology also lets users hear themselves loud and clear.

Helping those who are hearing impaired to live a stylish and independen­t life, Styletto will be available exclusivel­y at Wickramara­chchi Hearing Care Centres islandwide.
