Siemens is the industry leader in terms of the number of innovations. Best Sound™ is designed to find the optimum balance between Better Hearing and Sound Comfort. It takes into account each patient’s individual preferences and needs. The new BestSound™ Technology offers — in addition to a host of proven features — three new technologies designed to meet these specific requirements: SpeechFocus, FeedbackStopper, and SoundLearning™ 2.0.

 

  • SpeechFocus was developed to foster Better Hearing. It continuously analyzes the environment for the most favorable speech-to-noise ratio, and automatically selects the microphone configuration which has the potential to offer the best speech intelligibility for the user, regardless of whether speech is coming from the front, behind, or the side.

     

  • FeedbackStopper facilitates the optimum Sound Comfort. This technology achieves effective feedback suppression by combining the proven Acoustic Fingerprint Technology with a new Transient Frequency Shift, eliminating feedback before it is even noticed by the user.

     

  • SoundLearning 2.0 is the most sophisticated learning algorithm on the market which best adapts to the user’s Individuality. Automatically steered by an intelligent acoustic situation detector, SoundLearning 2.0 allows the user to teach preferred gain, compression, and frequency shape independently for various acoustic situations.

     

Siemens Digital Hearing Aid Technology

 

Each level of technology will be discussed to assist in the selection of an appropriate level that ensures the hearing(s) are worn. Purchasing too little technology to meet the long term listening need can be a costly mistake. however, it is not always efficient to purchase top-of-the-line models when their effectiveness is more than is required.

Remote Control - very useful if the wearer doesn't want or is limited to reach up to the digital hearing aids to make adjustments in volume or other performance parameters.  A prospective wearer has to think about the preferred way to adjust the hearing aids. If the wearer will not use adjustments on the hearing instrument then a remote control that allows access to the adjustment will make amplification more effective.  On the other hand, if a remote control is perceived as another hassle or something more to remember, then the wearer should seriously consider open ear hearing aids that will automatically adjust to accommodate changing noise levels and changing acoustic environment or have a memory button to allow changes with just a touch of the finger.
