Signia launches hearing devices that are...dare we say, cool?

Over 1.5 million people suffer from hearing loss, but most don’t want to admit it. In a recent study among Canadian adults between the ages of 40 and 79, just 8% of men and 5% of women admitted to hearing impairment, but when experts evaluated their hearing, the results were alarming; 63% of men and 46% of women had measurable hearing loss, showcasing a deep-seated stigma around hearing loss and a subsequent aversion to hearing aids.

Signia, a global leader in hearing aids, is devoted to shattering this stigma once and for all to help improve the quality of life for hearing-impaired consumers with the launch of its newest product: Signia Active Pro IX - now available in Canada.

Apple Watch Series 10 launches with brighter wide-angle OLED screen

Apple Watch Series 10 goes bigger, brighter, and thinner. This 10th-generation smartwatch comes with a 40 percent brighter wide-angle OLED screen. It's the largest display on an Apple Watch yet, beating out even the Apple Watch Ultra. This makes it easier to read what's on the screen.

Despite that, it's also just 9.7mm thick, making it 10 percent thinner and lighter than the Apple Watch Series 9. It also features two slightly larger size options: 42mm and 46mm. The good news is you can still use the straps designed for Series 9 or older. The new straps for the Apple Watch Series 10 are also backward-compatible.

What's new with the Apple iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max

The Apple iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max get a bunch of new features as well. They get bigger displays with thinner bezels, upgraded camera features, and the new Camera Control button, to name a few.

One of the most notable additions is the new Camera Control feature. This physical button depresses slightly into the case while offering additional haptic feedback. It doesn't just work as a shutter button. It also has a capacitive touch surface you can swipe on to navigate through different camera settings. Later this year, Apple will roll out a software update that will give this button a two-stage shutter option for locking focus and exposure.
