Siemens Hearing Instruments, Inc., (www.usa.siemens.com/hearing) one of the largest manufacturers of hearing instruments in the world, today announced several new product models and enhancements at SPLASH: The Academy of Doctors of Audiology's (ADA) 2009 Convention held October 29-31, 2009, in Clearwater, Florida.
New product models in the Motion, Explorer and Nitro lines support Siemens commitment to treating individual needs and providing customized hearing solutions. Technology enhancements in all the product lines will give wearers more flexibility and solutions to meet a range of hearing loss types for adults and children. In addition, these new products feature compatibility with Siemens innovative accessories, such as the Tek® wireless enhancement system and the Pro Pocket(TM) and ePen® remote controls.
Siemens also offers new tools in the Siemens CONNEXX fitting software for hearing care professionals to demonstrate the audio and visual effects of hearing loss to patients and their families. The Hearing Loss Simulator module in the Siemens CONNEXX fitting software allows a normal hearing person to experience the impact or severity of hearing loss of their loved one. The Real-Time Display graphically demonstrates amplification and signal processing features like SoundSmoothing®, which, for example, softens startling impulse sounds such as rustling paper or breaking glass for more comfortable listening. With Real Time Display, patients can see and understand the benefit of having a specific technology feature in a certain hearing aid model versus not having the feature in another. These tools help the hearing care professional, the patient and their families make better decisions in the selection of the right hearing instrument for the patient's preferences and lifestyle.
