With divisions around the globe, Siemens Hearing Instruments, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. in Iselin, NJ, one of the nation's largest and most diversified suppliers of medical electronic systems and products. Siemens Medical Solutions is a division of Siemens AG, Munich, Germany, a leader in the fields of communications, automation & transportation, electronic components, energy power, lighting, as well as medical electronics.

Siemens Triano

Siemens TrianoSiemens Triano

TRIANO was designed to reduce hearing effort and maximize speech understanding in a noisy environments, two of the most important challenges hearing aid users face.

Triano's 'Hearing Comfort System' promises optimum speech intelligibility and outstanding sound quality. Its ability to adapt automatically to various hearing situations makes hearing easier and more natural than ever.

Suitable for all levels of hearing loss, Triano is available in the tiny Micro-CIC, the sleek Triano S and the unique Triano 3 with TriMicTM, and the Triano SP. The revolutionary TriMicTM system of the Triano 3 offers improved directional microphone technology and a soft fading function for comfortable, effortless hearing.

TriMicTM uses three precisely tuned individual microphones to switch automatically between directional and omni-directional modes allowing you to hear sounds directly in front of you and those all around you while suppressing background noise. Up to now, wearers had to assess the prevailing situation in order to select the programme required. Using “situation detection”, Triano is able to optimise settings automatically.

Feedback, a nuisance for many hearing aid wearers, is virtually a thing of the past with Triano's quick and effective detection system. Apart from being a technical marvel, Triano has sense of fashion. All Triano Behind-the-Ear instruments are available in tobacco, grey, granite or beige.

Triano Sand Triano SP come in fun colours for children (blue, green, yellow and red), or a delightful 'mouse' motif.

For those wanting something really unique, there is a multicoloured Harlequin design. Triano S is also available in a more subtle, transparent model. Triano's In-the-Ear aids are offered in a range of natural colours.

MUSIC® Digital

Siemens Music Digital

MUSIC® Digital opens the door to fully digital performance

MUSIC Digital not only benefits from digital programming by your dispenser; it carries a tiny computer within the hearing aid itself.

This digital processor, which processes millions of calculations per second, gives MUSIC Digital great speed and capacity in processing complex sounds like the human voice.

A design for every lifestyle

MUSIC Digital is available in a full family of styles including the practically invisible Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) model. In-the-Canal (ITC), In-the-Ear (ITE) and Behind-the-Ear (BTE) models are also available.

Respond to changing environments with the touch of a button

In addition to normal use, you dispenser can set up two preset memories that let you further adjust your hearing with the touch of a button. For example, one memory may favour a noisy work environment, while the other is specially tuned for watching television.

Automatic or manual volume control

Normal hearing automatically adjusts to changes in volume. So does MUSIC Digital. There’s no need to manually tinker with volume. But for users who may prefer one, a manual volume control is available on most models.

Powerful and efficient

Digital processor in MUSIC Digital actually uses less battery power than some conventional non-digital hearing aids, for longer battery life. What’s more, the processor, battery and all other components easily fit into the smallest MUSIC Digital models.

Cellular advantages

Cordless and cellular phones can create problems for wearers of some hearing aids. MUSIC Digital is less prone to phone-related interference.

With MUSIC Digital, life can be music to your ears.

Prisma

Siemens Prisma

A sophisticated computer - in a hearing aid

The secret to the outstanding performance of PRISMA is a computer so tiny it fits inside the hearing aid. Called a digital signal processor, this computer carries out millions of calculations per second, just like a desktop computer. PRISMA actually recognizes and adjusts for different types of sounds, including the unique patterns of the human voice.

Your hearing loss is unique, and so is PRISMA. Your dispenser selects from over 18 quintillion possible configurations quickly and accurately, using advanced Siemens computer software.

Four channels of precision

Blended together, the four channels provide an extraordinarily precise and personal approach to your hearing loss.

Directional Microphone system

Directional microphones means you can undestand people speaking far more clearly in noisy situations, resulting in increased satisfaction. Available on select PRISMA models, the optional Directional Microphone system allows you to choose whether the hearing aid picks up sound coming from all directions, such as traffic noise when crossing the street, or focuses on sounds coming directly in front of you, such as the person speaking to you in a restaurant.

Automatic or manual volume control

PRISMA includes automatic volume control. It is a hands-free operation so all you have to do is listen. But for patients who may prefer more control, there is a manual volume adjustment on most models.

Investment protection

If your hearing needs or preferences ever change, your dispenser can easily reprogramme PRISMA.

The large and small of it

Although PRISMA delivers big performance, it's available in even the tiniest, Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) model that's practically invisible. In-the-Canal (ITC), In-the-Ear (ITE) and Behind-the-Ear (BTE) models are also available. And, PRISMA features better battery-efficiency than many conventional hearing aids.

PRISMA. It's what the future sounds like.

Siemens Signia Select

Significantly Different. Significantly Better.

At the heart of every SIGNIA Select hearing aid are one million transistors on a computer chip smaller than a grain of rice.This processing power is just the beginning of the SIGNIA Select difference. SIGNIA Select helps the hearing impaired as no hearing aid has ever done before.

SIGNIA Select with ConTrast™

SIGNIA Select is the only hearing aid with ConTrast, an artificial intelligence system that distinguishes people speaking from background noise. SIGNIA Select analyzes sound for information content, like speech, and instantly accentuates the frequency ranges of these sounds. At the same time, it reduces the volume of frequency ranges that contain noise.

Directional microphone system

Research has shown that directional microphones improve speech in noisy situations, making life better. Available on some SIGNIA Select models, the optional directional microphone system allows you to choose whether the hearing aid picks up sound coming from all directions, such as oncoming traffic when crossing the street, or focuses on sounds coming directly in front of you, such as the person speaking to you at a party.

Respond to changing environments with the touch of a button

In addition to normal use, your dispenser can program some SIGNIA Select models with up to two listening memories that let you further adjust your hearing with the touch of a button. For example, one memory may favor a noisy work environment, while the other is specially tuned for watching television. A tone in your SIGNIA Select hearing aid identifies which memory you've selected. Of course if your hearing needs or preferences ever change, your dispenser can reprogramme your SIGNIA Select.

Because no two hearing losses are exactly alike

A multi-channel equalizer in SIGNIA Select shapes sound to meet your individual hearing requirements precisely.The SIGNIA Select chip operates continuously to make soft sounds audible and to keep loud sounds at a comfortable volume. But for users who may prefer one, a manual volume control is available on most models.

More reasons to try SIGNIA Select

Cordless and cellular phones can create problems but SIGNIA Select is less prone to phone-related interference. And, the two-stage anti-feedback feature effectively suppresses feedback. SIGNIA Select even warns you when it's time to change the battery.

A Design for Every Lifestyle

SIGNIA Select is available in a full family of styles including the practically invisible Completely-in-the- Canal (CIC) model. In-the-Canal (ITC), In-the-Ear (ITE) and Behind-the-Ear (BTE) models are also available.
