In a March 2021 video, Eric Bernard, CEO of Sonova Holding, introduced the Signia Active X, a hearing aid designed to resemble an earbud. Bernard described the product as "a small revolution" and stated that the company was the first to bring a hearing aid to market that looks like an earbud. He noted that the device is smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than other earbuds on the market, and functions as a fully fledged hearing aid that can be adjusted via a smartphone app. Bernard, who described himself as a candidate for such a device due to difficulty hearing in background noise, demonstrated the product's features, including directional hearing and on-the-go charging. He characterized the device as "unique and different" and encouraged viewers to "make a difference with this."
