Digital technology has changed the way we live and communicate. We can enjoy the clear sound of music recorded digitally on a compact disc (CD). We can send voice messages over the Internet to family and friends. We can even store an entire Digital hearing aids use the same technology. Digital aids do more than digitize sound: they use the power of the computer to meet your individual hearing requirements. The result? Wonderful sounds can be experienced once again.
Siemens engineers have worked to develop a hearing aid that takes full advantage of the power of digital signal processing. Signia, the result of that research, offers features previously unheard of even among other digital hearing aids.
The key component of Signia is a microchip smaller than a grain of rice. A tiny but powerful computer, the chip contains a million transistors that give Signia the power to process the most complex sound of all: speech. Digital hearing aids use the same technology. Digital aids do more than digitize sound: they use the power of the computer to meet your individual hearing requirements. The result? Wonderful sounds can be experienced once again.
Available on select Signia models, the optional TwinMic 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 from directly in front of you, such as the person speaking to you at a party. You select between the two with the touch of a button or the flip of a switch.
Multi-channel equalizer and audio compression systems in Signia shape sound to meet your individual hearing requirements precisely. The Signia chip makes soft sounds audible and keeps loud sounds at a comfortable volume. Your Hearing Health Care Professional adjusts Signia to meet your individual hearing needs using precise and convenient computer software. Because you're wearing the hearing aids while they are being programmed, you immediately hear how the settings affect the sound, and can tell your Hearing Health Care Professional which sounds best to you.
If your hearing needs change over time, your Signia hearing aids can be reprogrammed in the office, so you don't have to be without your hearing aids for even a day.
In addition to normal use, your Hearing Health Care Professional can program some Signia models with up to two listening memories that let you further adjust your hearing by touching a button. For example, one memory may suit a noisy work environment, while the other is specially tuned for watching television. A tone in your Signia hearing aid identifies which memory you've selected.
Signia automatically reacts to changes in volume, eliminating the need to manually adjust volume. But for wearers who may prefer one, a manual volume control is available on most models. If you're new to hearing aids, SIGNIA makes it easy to become accustomed to wearing them. The volume can be set to a level that you find comfortable, and then increased as you become more accustomed to wearing your hearing aids.
With its low power indicator, you can depend on SIGNIA to warn you when the battery needs replacing.
A series of fun colors, compatibility with most FM and auditory training systems, and a battery door lock, make Signia perfect for little ears, too.
Cordless and cellular phones can create problems for wearers of some hearing aids. Signia is less prone to phone-related interference.
Siemens is the world's number one provider of advanced electronic health care systems that support and enhance life. Siemens has been providing solutions for hearing loss for over 85 years. In 1913, Siemens developed in-the-ear amplification. Since then, Siemens has become the leader in the development and production of hearing aids. Siemens is the largest manufacturer of hearing aids in the United States and around the world.
In the tradition of technological leadership, Siemens continues to develop and explore new technology and apply that technology to the development of hearing aids. The innovative approach taken by Siemens has brought you Signia with ConTrast.
