Digital technology and hearing aids

The high-end Siemens 701 hearing aid features a SpeechFocus directional microphone, which tracks down and focuses on speech, even when it comes from behind, acting like an acoustic rear view mirror.

Digital technology and hearing aidsJust imagine holding a conversation with passengers in the back of your car, and actually being able to understand them, despite the engine and wind noise! The automated directional microphone works in conjunction with the effective and vigilant noise reduction systems, which continually seek to reduce and follow the movement of distracting noises.

Digital technology and hearing aidsSoundLearning 2.0 uses a situation detector to accurately determine your specific environment, i.e. whether you are in the presence of speech, noise, music or other sounds. As such, the changes you make to the volume setting of your hearing aids via the remote or volume control are recorded and your hearing aids automatically adjust to the different listening settings, maximizing the richness of music and the clarity of speech, while ensuring optimum noise comfort. This intelligent and intuitive system follows your daily routine and learns to adjust to your individual listening preferences.
