Press Erlangen, 14 October, 2015 EUHA Congress, October 14-16, 2015, in Nuremberg, Germany Siemens Insio now for severe hearing loss • binax available for the first time in ITC and CIC in-the-ear hearing aids for the severely hearing impaired. • World's first Power CIC with OneMic directional microphone system. • Significant advantages for directional hearing and speech comprehension. Sivantos is presenting new Siemens Insio in-the-ear hearing aids (ITEs) for people with severe hearing loss at the 60th International Congress of Hearing Aid Acousticians EUHA in Nuremberg. In the ITC (in-the-canal) and the particularly small CIC (completely-in-canal) models, they provide the world's smallest ITE solution for this target group with all the technological advantages of the Siemens binax hearing aids. Now, for the first time in such tiny housings, the innovative binaural OneMic directional microphone system enables previously unprecedented directional hearing and speech comprehension even for people with severe hearing loss. The former hearing aid division of Siemens AG has been operating under the name Sivantos since the beginning of 2015. It develops, produces and sells Siemens brand hearing aids. With the Siemens Insio ITEs, which have been available in different models since spring 2015, the hearing aids in the left and right ears can continuously and automatically exchange and jointly process important settings and even audio signals with their partner device in the other ear. This is possible due to the Siemens e2e wireless 3.0 technology using the microphone or microphones in the left and right hearing aids, depending on the model, forming a virtual microphone network. This enables them to mimic natural hearing processes. Sivantos Group Corporate Media & Public Relations Erika Weigmann Reference number: 5/2015/tp Hearing aids with binax, binaural OneMic directionality and e2e wireless 3.0 provide their wearers with multiple advantages for hearing and comprehension. As a result, wearers can more successfully pick out their dialogue partner from the background noise and listen to them with less effort even in difficult acoustic environments. Now, with the new Insio models presented at the EUHA, this top-class technology is also available for the first time in the world in small and very discreet in-the-ear hearing aids for the severely hearing impaired. At the same time, the new Insio hearing aids can also be fitted to many of this group who were previously unable to wear ITEs because of their in-the-ear anatomy. This has become possible due to new construction methods and the extremely energy efficient binax technology. Lower energy consumption in spite of the higher amplification of 65 decibels necessary for this target group was a crucial factor for being able to manage with the smallest batteries. In addition, the new Insio models are also optimized in audiology terms to the specific requirements of the severely hearing impaired. Along with the especially important directional hearing, this also includes an innovative process aimed specifically at the speech-relevant frequencies. In situations where hearing aid wearers prefer to control certain settings themselves, such as volume or sound, they can remotely control the new Siemens Insio device conveniently and discreetly using the free touchControl app which is available for both Apple and Android smartphones. The optional easyTek streamer via which a wide variety of modern communication and consumer electronics can transmit their sound directly to the hearing aids adds a further level of convenience. There is also a free smartphone app available for easyTek. For the first time ever, the new Insio models therefore provide even people with severe hearing loss with all the advantages of Siemens top ITEs currently available in the smallest housings.

The origins of Sivantos go right back to 1878, when Werner von Siemens invented a telephone receiver which made it considerably easier for the hard of hearing to follow conversations. Today, Sivantos Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of hearing instruments. With its 5,000 employees the Group recorded revenues of € 690 million and a reported EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) of € 126 million in the 2014 business year. Sivantos’ international sales organization supplies products to hearing aid specialists and sales organizations in more than 120 countries. Particular emphasis is placed on product development. The declared goal is to make Sivantos with its brands Siemens, Audio Service, Rexton, A&M, HearUSA and audibene the market leader in the years to come. The owners of Sivantos are the anchor investors EQT together with the Strüngmann family and Siemens as co-investors. Further information can be found under www.sivantos.com
