A whole new way to talk to your patients.


Todays consumers are very tech savvy. Thats why smartHearing is a great way to talk about hearing instruments,
especially to baby boomers who are familiar with the many smart devices available today.

What makes Siemens hearing aids smart?


Our smartHearing aids are able to deliver better performance in noisy environments; they have connectivity with
audio devices that everyone uses like TVs, phones, computers; they enable greater discretion and control through
apps; they learn wearer preferences and adapt automatically.

Siemens smartHearing is based on e2e


wireless 3.0 which links the microphones
in both hearing aids creating a virtual
8-microphone network resulting in an
exceptional binaural listening experience
and a truly personal hearing solution.

The three elements of smartHearing:

smartSound
smartAdapt
smartConnect
binax
Essentials

smartSound

smartAdapt*

smartConnect

Replicates natural binaural hearing


processes to suppress unwanted
background sounds and improve
spatial perception for outstanding
sound quality.

Both hearing aids are synchronized to


work as a single system and
determine the listening situation you
are in, adjusting themselves for
greater personal comfort.

Provides wireless connectivity for


streaming audio directly to your ears
and controlling your hearing aids via
your smartphone.

*Not available in Sirion 2

smartSound
With smartSound, Siemens binaural hearing aids
communicate between both ears, functioning as
one system. Working the way the brain works, they
recognize the characteristics and origin of different
sound sources and environments, to focus on the
sound in front. Unwanted background noise is
suppressed and spatial perception improved giving
uncompromising sound quality and 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 perfect clarity. Thats smartSound in action.

With smartAdapt, Siemens binax hearing


instruments recognize the situation, accurately
and quickly detecting different acoustic
environments as well as the direction the
sound originates from. They then adjust and
align themselves automatically to give the
optimum hearing experience for each situation.

Youre driving to a meeting and the conversation is bouncing back

We live in a connected world. And now your hearing instruments can be a part of it, too. With easyTek,
Siemens smartHearing aids can be connected to remote devices for audio streaming and remote control.

Thanks to the unique touchControl App for iOS and


Android, you can adjust your hearing aids directly
from your smartphone. Whether you want to adjust
the volume or change the hearing program, you
can do it simply and with complete discretion. No
intermediary device is needed.

Introducing the smartHome.


The smartHome solutions by Bellman & Symfon deliver special signals to Siemens wireless hearing aids, alerting the
wearer in a number of critical situations. Through specially designed easy-to-install sensors, transmitters and monitor,
the system enhances the safety and independence of the Siemens hearing aid wearer and loved ones. The smartHome
solutions are a small footprint, and energy-efficient technology that leverage the smart connectivity of Siemens
wireless hearing instruments to transmit signals directly to the hearing aids via the easyTek wireless streamer:
When a phone is ringing
When a doorbell is chiming
When the smoke detector has triggered
When a loved one asks for assistance via a room monitor or uses a push-button transmitter.

smartHome

smartConnect

All Siemens wireless hearing aids stream signals from


smartHome components via the easyTek remote audio streamer.

smartHub

smartHome control center.

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

smartAlert Package*

smartCare Package*

Smoke alarm (option)

Push button

Phone

Doorbell

Alarm clock (option)

The smartCare package includes the


smartHub, a room monitor and 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.
Additional accessories to enhance these
packages are available and 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, highintensity flashing lights or a bed shaker.

The smartAlert package includes the


smartHub, a doorbell monitor and telephone
monitor. When activated via the smartHub,
these monitors alert the hearing aid wearer
via sound signal. 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.

With the receiver-in-canal, RIC models


have a smaller housing that sits behind
the ear. At the same time, they allow
for sound transmission directly into
the ear. This makes them ideal for
wearers who would like a powerful
and subtle solution with a high level
of technological convenience.

Behind-the-ear models offer the


optimum solution for customers who
are at ease with their hearing aids and
prefer a high level of wearing and
handling comfort. We offer a large
variety of BTEs for all levels of
hearing loss.

For users who prefer a discreet


solution, we offer a selection of tiny
in-the-ear hearing aids that fit
perfectly into the ear. These models
are almost invisible and do not give
the appearance that the customer is
wearing a hearing instrument, but
they still feature refined technology,
power and convenience.

The information in this document contains general descriptions of the


technical options available, which do not always have to be present in
individual cases and are subject to change without prior notice.
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.
Achieved IP67 rating per IEC 60529 standard. Water-resistant device
can be completely submerged in water up to 3 feet for 30 minutes
and dust will not interfere with the satisfactory operation of the
device.
