Siemens Hearing Aids
Founding:
In 1913, by German inventor Werner von Siemens
Technology Roots:
Siemens was a prolific industrialist who made a wide range of engineering innovations—one of his earlier achievements was a new type of telephone that used horseshoe magnets for amplification.
Historical Highlights:
Began making hearing aids in the 1910s, called the Esha-Phonofor
Production of the first BTE (behind-the-ear) instrument in 1959
In 1966, the first in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid was made available
By 2000, the Siemens brand was a global leader in the hearing aid industry
Siemens was purchased by EQT, a leading private equity group in Northern Europe, in 2015, creating Sivantos and the production of Signia brand hearing aids using Siemens technology
Sivantos and Widex merged in 2019, creating WS Audiology
Other Brand Names in the WS Audiology Group: Rexton, Signia, and Widex Manufacturer's Warranty: Up to three years Most Recent Innovations: Binax processing platform
Processing Technology and Features
Binax technology helps to simulate binaural hearing using an eight-microphone network (four per hearing aid) that connects the devices with wireless E2E technology to share and balance incoming sound signals.
In independent testing by the University of Northern Colorado and the Centre of Excellence for Hearing Research of the University of Oldenburg, Binax technology demonstrated the capacity to produce a level of sound clarity that provides wearers an advantage over those with normal hearing in a noisy environment.
Additional Key Features:
Narrow directionality
Spatial speech focus
Wind noise reduction with eWindScreen binaural
High-definition sound resolution
