S
are all around us. Theyre intuitive to
operate, they interact with you and
adjust according to your situation. And
now theyre becoming wearable. For us,
it's nothing new. We've incorporated
advanced technology into wearable
devices since we began making hearing
aids over 100 years ago.
Today, were continuing that tradition
with a comprehensive range of smart
hearing aids.

Hearing clearly and experiencing the

true richness of the sounds around you is
one of lifes greatest pleasures. Whether
youre at a party, driving or enjoying the
sounds of nature in the park. Siemens
hearing aids replicate normal hearing
processes to deliver clear and natural
sound. They adjust automatically to your
environment and to your own
preferences for better audibility and a
truly personal hearing experience. And,
you can connect them wirelessly to
external devices for greater convenience.
With Siemens latest BestSound
Technology, our most advanced hearing
aids provide better than normal hearing
in demanding listening environments
like noisy restaurants, parties, outdoors,
and in the car.*
Now thats smartHearing.

A day in the life

of your ears.

A morning of shopping followed by

lunch with friends. In the afternoon,
playing with the kids in the park
followed by a concert in the evening.
A typical day is full of complex
hearing situations in different noise
environments that call for more than
just simple amplification.
smartHearing takes it all in stride,
automatically detecting and adjusting
your hearing aids to deliver the
sounds you want to hear, the way you
want to hear them. In every situation.

The three elements of smartHearing:

smartSound
smartAdapt
smartConnect

smartSound
Replicates natural hearing processes to suppress
unwanted background sounds and improve
spatial perception for outstanding sound quality.

smartAdapt
Both hearing aids are synchronized to work as a
single system and determine the listening
situation you are in, adapting for greater
personal comfort.

smartConnect
Provides wireless connectivity for streaming
audio directly to your ears and controlling your
hearing aids via your smartphone.

smartSound
When we hear, the brain processes
acoustic input from both ears to
interpret what we hear and where the
sound is coming from. This binaural
hearing helps us localize the direction
and focus on what we want to hear.

smartSound

Inspired by natural hearing processes,

Siemens smartHearing technology is the
only hearing technology clinically proven
to allow hearing impaired wearers to
understand speech significantly better
in challenging listening situations than
even their normal-hearing counterparts.*
* Two clinical studies have shown that binax provides better
than normal hearing in certain demanding environments
(University of Northern Colorado, 2014; Oldenburg
Hrzentrum, 2013): Speech Reception Thresholds (SRT) in
cocktail-party situations improved up to 2.9 dB for
wearers with mild to moderate hearing loss using Carat
binax or Pure binax hearing aids with narrow
directionality, compared to people with normal hearing.
The new wireless, two microphone Motion and Insio binax
models have the same directional performance as the
Pure and Carat binax.

With smartSound, the hearing devices work as

a pair, communicating with each other to
replicate natural hearing processes.

With smartSound, Siemens hearing

aids work as a pair to communicate
between both ears, functioning as one
hearing system. Working the way our
brains work, they recognize the
characteristics and origin of different
sound sources and environments,
steering their focus to concentrate on
what you want to listen to. Unwanted
background noise is suppressed and
spatial perception improved so you
experience uncompromised sound
quality and speech understanding.

Play it, Sam.

In the background, the pianist is playing As Time Goes By; all
around you, people are chatting, while, in front of you, your
partner tells you about their day. And every word comes across
with the utmost clarity. Thats smartSound in action.

smartAdapt
Everyone hears differently. What sounds
too soft for one person might be just right
for another. Depending on the listening
situation: When youre on the phone, you
might want lower volume and less bass; if
youre listening to music, you might want
more volume and the full dynamic range.

Siemens smart hearing aids learn

from the adjustments you make. Over
a short period of time, they store
your individual listening preferences
in different situations and then adjust
automatically so you dont have to
make manual adjustments.

smartAdapt in action.
With smartAdapt, your hearing aids detect different
hearing situations and adjust and synchronize to your
individual preference for each one.

With smartAdapt, Siemens premium

hearing aids can accurately and quickly
detect different acoustic environments
as well as the direction the sound
originates from. They then adjust
automatically to provide the optimum
hearing experience in each situation.

Change up a gear.
Youre driving to a meeting and the conversation is bouncing
back and forth. Your hearing aids automatically recognize the
situation and adjust themselves to your personal preference,
suppressing the background noise and focusing on the voices.
Wherever they come from. Thats smartAdapt in action.

smartConnect
We live in a connected world. With
accessories, Siemens smart hearing aids

audio streaming and remote control.

Introducing the smartHome.

smartHome control center.

The smartHome solutions are designed to

extend your safety and independence at home.
They leverage the wireless connectivity of
Siemens wireless smartHearing instruments
and easyTek, to receive special signals from
wireless sensors and transmitters that alert you
of important situations, from doorbell chiming,
to phone ringing, to smoke detectors, room
monitors and other devices. This exclusive offer,
in partnership with Bellman & Symfon, comes
in two packages smartAlert and smartCare.

easyTek

The smartHome begins with the smartHub, a

plug-in that connects Siemens smartHearing aids
to smartHome sensors, transmitters and monitors
via easyTek, so wearers can hear special signals
from phones, doors and other important alerts.
smartHub

The smartCare package includes the

smartHub, a room monitor, and a push-button
transmitter. When activated by the smartHub,
the room monitor sends a signal to the hearing
aids and can be adjusted for sensitivity and
delay. The push button transmitter, used by a
loved one, can alert the hearing aid wearer in
times of need and can be worn with a lanyard.

Room monitor

smartAlert Package
The smartAlert package includes, the smartHub, a
doorbell monitor, and a telephone monitor. When
activated via the smartHub, these monitors alert
the hearing aid wearer via sound signals. The
doorbell monitor can be programmed to recognize
virtually any doorbell sound; the telephone monitor
can be used to detect a landline and mobile phone.

Optional accessories include a smoke alarm and an alarm clock.

The smoke alarm works with the smartHub to transmit light,
sound or vibration to indicate an emergency; the alarm clock
allows the wearer to choose to wake up to an extra loud/audible
alarm, high-intensity flashing lights or a bed shaker.
