The Latest in Hearing Technology: You Wont Believe Your Ears

Wearing a hearing aid is as much fun as a root canal or at least thats what most people think. Big, clunky things with lots of wires, howling feedback and constant complaints from granddad, right? Sure, you remember. But, right along with other forms of digital technology, hearing aids have gotten smaller, more comfortable, more intuitive and produce a more natural sound. These mighty, little machines have changed the way we hear and you heard it here, first.

The Latest Technology Simply Simple

Lets look at a couple of examples of this leading edge technology and how its improved hearing quality (not to mention quality of life) for millions of people.

Siemens makes some of the best hearing devices in the world and two in particular are going to make you smile if youre in the market for a better hearing experience, i.e. youre tired of asking people Whatd ya say?

Check out Siemens Artis 2 helping people with hearing loss fully appreciate all that life has to offer according to the product literature. The Artis 2 is actually one smart machine. Tiny, but smart.

First, like several other premium-grade hearing devices, the Artis 2 learns the wearers volume preferences. (Thats you.) The longer its worn, the smarter it gets and will adjust automatically. That is less that you have to do. Thats cool. Even better, the Artis 2 actually records and stores hearing aid use data so your hearing health professional can access the data for quick adjustments as needed and theyre not needed often.

Another feature a necessity in todays go-go, stay-connected world is e2e wireless' connectivity. Huh? This technology creates natural, transparent binaural hearing by synchronizing the settings between the left and right hearing aids. Directional microphone systems are synchronized to ensure optimal localization and listening in background noise. e2e also allows for one touch control you make an adjustment on one hearing aid and the other changes too. Effortlessly.

Feedback the awful, painful whistling sound is reduced digitally with feedback cancellation, meaning you can talk on the telephone with ease, usually a common cause of feedback, without having an eardrum blown out just saying Hello. Again, its all done automatically so you can focus on the world around you, not some screeching in your ear.

The Artis 2 can also differentiate between sound and just plain noise. Say youre at a noisy conference. Lots of chatter, lots of give-and-take. The Artis 2 manages speech and noise by upping the volume on speech while reducing background din. So you can hear the speaker even when some guy at your table is telling the same old joke again. The adaptive microphone used in the Artis 2 optimizes hearing settings even when youre surrounded by multiple sources of noise including the stale joke guy.

Finally, the Artis 2 comes with an optional pocket remote so you can make manual setting adjustments without making a big deal about it. You don't have to remove the device and ask your buddy to say Test. Test. while you fiddle with tiny knobs and scrolling wheels. All handled discreetly from your coat pocket no fuss, no bother, and no worries.

Siemens, one of the leaders in hearing technology, introduced one of their most advanced hearing devices.
