No but my audiologist told me they are the same as Signia IX hearing aids which will become available to everyone at TruHearing by the middle to the end of May.
TruHearing is a resource you should check out for any hearing aid. They can tell you if there is an audiologist in your area that works with them.
I hope this helps because for the top of the line Horizon IX hearing aid you are looking at probably $7,000 plus for the pair.
I tried the Horizon hearing aid in 2022 and it just wasn’t right for me. Went on to Signia, which worked better. My audiologist also says they are identical, but for me they were not. But I don’t know if my experience is helpful to you because every ear is unique. All you can do is give them a try. If you’re going to a legit practitioner (NOT Costco, grrr) you should have several weeks to sort out how well the instrument is serving. I went back several times for adjustments to the Horizon but I was getting a ton of feedback in my ears and she just couldn’t fix it. The “identical” Signia didn’t produce such heavy feedback. Dunno why. Ultimately I wound up getting hard plastic custom ear molds instead of the soft plastic domes, which kept shifting around in my ears. The shifting of the domes wasn’t producing feedback but did distribute the sound unevenly into
my ear canals, and I was constantly fiddling with them. That upgrade to custom cost $150 more but greatly improved the function of the instrument and thus my hearing.

Any idea what TruHearing will charge for the Signia IX? Their "premium" line of aids on my Scan HMO benefits is a $750 copay. Would TruHearing actually take an audiologist's report and "program" the hearing aid set according to how the hearing test turned out? I recently got an over the ear aid made by Oticon (their Intent3R) and disliked it because it was very difficult to put on (I don't have much fine manual dexterity at age 76), my eyeglass temples rested on top of the behind the ear module, tilting my eyeglasses forward, and also my hair would brush the module and made it annoyingly sound like sandpaper scratching. So, I'm looking for an invisible in-canal aid that does a little more than just sound volume control, I'd like much better clarity of TV audio. Thanks in advance!

Depending on your hearing loss you might be stuck with behind the ear models.
Call TruHearing and find an audiologist in their network and she can let you try different models until you find one that works for you.
Maybe an in the ear model might work. You might as well try it.
I have had hearing aids for sixty years. I have always gone to the best, i.e., heads of university audiology departments, etc. I like in the ear molds, battery operated from Costco this last time. I thought the audiologist who is also hearing impaired was particularly good and took a long time to diagnose my needs. My aids 5 yrs ago were about $3000 each and I am pretty satisfied with them, I am very deaf without them. You must go back to your dispenser with ANY and ALL complaints, no matter how small and insist they correct that issue. Otherwise, you will always be dissatisfied, or even go to another location but don't give up. You have a right to decent hearing! Newer style isn't always better for you.

See my statement below, I like the ones I have but they are NOT invisible and I am a sort of vain woman. I don't care what people think, I care if I can hear accurately. Get the beige tone and it's close enough to skin if you are a white person. I have a volume control on it and little *ski things to help it stay in my ear (*for lack of another description)
I tried Horizon IX and they have one major flaw. They are dependent on your cell phone. If the volume is too low on your phone your aids can’t work and if your hearing aids stop working for any reason and you take them out of your ears, your cell phone won’t work. Nobody will hear you.
Also they stopped working and I called Hear.com and they told me I needed my charger to get them to work. I don’t carry my charger with me. Also I called Heat.com and stayed on the phone for 10 minutes and they told me they would call me back which they never did
