We invite you to read on to find out more about hearing loss and the many varieties of BehindThe-Ear and Custom In-The-Ear hearing aids that Siemens offers to keep you connected to the world around you. Life sounds brilliant. Do you have hearing loss? Have you ever considered the amazing design of your ear? Want to know if you have any of the most common signs of hearing loss? Take the short quiz below: YES NO Do people comment that the volume on your TV or radio is too loud? Outer ear Middle ear Choose the right solution for you. Ear canal Do people say you speak too loudly? If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is a chance you may have hearing loss. Your Audiologist or Hearing Care Professional can conduct a short, painless test to measure your ability to hear sounds at various frequencies (pitches) and look for possible physical causes of hearing loss. Based on the test results, a specific solution best suiting your hearing loss and your lifestyle will be recommended. SMALLEST RIC BTE in the Industry Ace™ RIC BTE (Receiver-inthe-Canal) Tympanic membrane (eardrum) When hearing through two hearing aids, sounds have a fuller quality and feel more balanced. Volume levels can be set lower, minimizing the distortion. Different parts of the ear work together to pick up sound, amplify it and then convert it into electrical signals for the brain. SlimTube BTE Waterproof, Dustproof, Shock-resistant BTE Aquaris™ Improved Localization With two hearing aids, the brain receives sound from both ears. This makes it easier to tell where the sound is coming from, a skill known as localization. Localization tells you which way to turn when someone is calling your name. Custom In-the-Ear Hearing Aids Multi-purpose BTE Super Power BTE Pure® Siemens Life™ Increased Speech Clarity Enhanced Sound Quality There’s no one quite like you. The same is true of your ears – they are as unique as your finger prints. Your anatomy, level of hearing loss, and lifestyle preferences are key factors determining the right model of hearing aid for you. Behind-The-Ear Hearing Aids Behind-The-Ear hearing aids sit behind the ear, comfortably and inconspicuously. They come in two types: with a clear, slim tube that delivers sound from the hearing instrument into the ear, or as a RIC (Receiver-In-Canal) model with an external receiver that sits directly in the ear canal. Most people have hearing loss in both ears, yet some only wear one hearing aid. Amplifying only one ear when both ears need help can put you at a disadvantage. Your brain needs two ears for hearing accuracy. Here's why: Wearing two hearing aids, instead of just one, makes it easier to understand speech in both normal and noisy listening situations. Inner ear Auditory nerve Pinna Do you have trouble following conversations in crowded, noisy places? Two hearing aids beat one. Hearing instruments can help improve your hearing by making sounds louder and clearer. At the same time, they highlight speech so that you can focus on spoken words and be able to distinguish them from background noise. Simply put, it converts moving air molecules into information for your brain to translate. Have you missed visits and calls because you didn’t hear the doorbell or telephone? How hearing instruments can help. Motion® Nitro® Custom In-The-Ear hearing aids are worn directly in the ear and are custom made based on the anatomy of your ear canal. Different models are available for various degrees of hearing loss and discretion.
