Siemens will be introducing the next generation of its Motion, Life, and Pure hearing systems for the first time at the annual conference of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), which takes place from April 14 to 17 in San Diego. These products now come with BestSound Technology, which once again noticeably improves hearing comfort. Key features include the three-dimensional speech recognition technology SpeechFocus, intelligent SoundLearning 2.0 and FeedbackStopper, which eliminates feedback just as it is starting. Additional colors and a new charger with an automatic drying function round out these products' wide range of design and functional innovations.

Siemens Pure hearing instruments are not only exceptionally small, but thanks to the new BestSound Technology they also adjust automatically to various listening situations to provide optimal sound quality and focus speech, no matter which direction it originates.

Siemens first began industrial production of hearing instruments one hundred years ago and has set the standard for technological innovation ever since. Siemens has once again demonstrated its role as an innovation leader with the next generation of its Motion, Life and Pure hearing systems. They are equipped with cutting-edge BestSound Technology, which essentially combines three functions to provide wearers with much greater hearing comfort.

SpeechFocus improves upon existing directional microphone technology to provide three-dimensional hearing. While earlier directional microphones can only focus on speech which comes from in front of the wearer, the direction where speech originates is no longer a limitation. For example, SpeechFocus makes it possible for hearing instrument wearers to better follow a conversation with someone walking beside them or to understand the grandchildren when they call out from the back seat of the car.

SoundLearning 2.0 brings the idea of intelligent hearing instrument to a whole new level. For the first time, the hearing systems learn and adapt instrument settings for sound and volume - and it does so for different listening situations. As a result, the hearing instruments switch automatically - and depending on the situation the wearer is in - to the appropriate mode for conversation, music, or noise.

Furthermore, the FeedbackStopper also has been improved. It works even more quickly now, and eliminates annoying feedback before the wearer can even hear it. It also distinguishes between feedback and tonal sounds in the environment, thanks to the Acoustic Fingerprint Technology patented by Siemens. So, a signal from a microwave oven is not distorted, but similar sounding feedback is reliably eliminated.

Thanks to the new BestSound Technology, wearing Motion, Life, and Pure hearing systems has never been more comfortable. In addition, many of these new models have rechargeable batteries so they can be charged overnight in the newly improved eCharger, without having to take out the batteries. At the same time they are electronically dried, protecting the hearing instrument from damaging moisture and extending the life of the product. Drying capsules are no longer needed. To round off our innovations, these products now come in additional housing colors. And for the Motion hearing systems, the housing can even be easily exchanged by a hearing care professional if color preferences change.

The market launch for the new Motion, Life, and Pure hearing systems will take place in May.
