A prescription hearing aid that delivers superior performance, professional fitting, and a dramatically better listening experience, all for the same price as the OTC option.
Here’s the story: The Sony CRE-E10 is actually a rebranded Signia/Rexton hearing aid – a product originally designed and manufactured within the WS Audiology (WSA) family of brands, made available OTC at an affordable price point. As Sony OTC inventory becomes limited and availability uncertain, we’re offering you direct access to the same trusted technology in its prescription form – professionally fitted to your unique hearing needs.
**Please note, this is NOT the Sony CRE-E10, but a prescription hearing aid alternative. It looks the same as the Sony but is professionally fit rather than self-fit in an app.
| What You Get | Why It Matters |
| Prescription-Fitted to Your Hearing Loss | A licensed professional programs the device precisely to your audiogram – not a one-size-fits-all algorithm. You hear better, right from day one. |
| Same Trusted WSA Technology | Signia and Rexton are sister brands under WS Audiology — the same platform as the Sony CRE-E10. You’re getting the real thing, not a compromise. |
| No DIY Setup Headaches | OTC hearing aids require you to configure and fine-tune them yourself via a smartphone app. Many users struggle with this. With Signia Active Pro IX, a professional handles everything. |
| One-Time Professional Fitting Fee | There is a single, one-time fitting fee – no recurring costs, no subscriptions. That’s it. Same total investment, dramatically better outcome. |
| Sleek, Discreet Design | The Active Pro IX features an ultra-modern, nearly invisible form factor with a sporty aesthetic – designed to be worn proudly, not hidden. |
| Premium Sound Quality | With IX (Integrated Xperience) technology, enjoy natural, immersive sound, reduced background noise, and excellent speech clarity in even challenging environments. |
| Bluetooth Audio Streaming | Stream music, calls, and media directly from your iPhone or Android device. The hearing aids double as high-quality wireless earbuds. |
| Rechargeable — No Batteries Needed | Simply place in the charging case overnight. Full-day power, zero hassle with disposable batteries. |
| Ongoing Professional Support | Unlike an OTC product you manage alone, you have access to a hearing care professional for adjustments, follow-ups, and troubleshooting. |
