Siemens Hearing Instruments, Inc. of Piscataway, N.J. and Erlangen, Germany has announced a new hearing aid product line based on the company’s BestSound Technology. The platform is a suite of device features which include SpeechFocus, FeedbackStopper and SoundLearning 2.0. Speechfocus uses directional microphone technology to boost the sound coming from directions where speech is detected. FeedbackStopper suppresses feedback whistling by using acoustic fingerprinting to identify feedback signal and shifting the signal frequency to break the feedback loop. SoundLearning learns the wearer’s preferences and automatically adjusts the device’s settings according to the current listening situation. The features are implemented in the Pure, Life and Motion range of products.
