BestSound Technology
A new chapter in hearing instrument technology.
BestSound Technology – a new dimension in hearing instrument technology
Siemens is the industry leader not only in terms of the number of innovations, but also because these innovations have directly and effectively addressed the requirements of people with hearing loss. The number one requirement of the people who wear our products is Better Hearing. However, any means of improving hearing must come with good Sound Comfort. This is to ensure that patients effectively use the hearing instruments throughout the day to take the full advantage of them.
Unfortunately, in many cases, Hearing (maximising audibility) and Comfort are not always supportive of each other. In order to find the optimum balance between Better Hearing and Sound Comfort, one must take into account each patient’s individual preferences and needs. The new BestSound™ Technology offers — in addition to a host of proven features — three new technologies designed to meet these specific requirements: SpeechFocus, FeedbackStopper, and SoundLearning™ 2.0.
-
SpeechFocus was developed to foster Better Hearing. It continuously analyses the environment for the most favourable speech-to-noise ratio, and automatically selects the microphone configuration which has the potential to offer the best speech intelligibility for the user, regardless of whether speech is coming from the front, behind, or the side.
-
FeedbackStopper facilitates the optimum Sound Comfort. This technology achieves effective feedback suppression by combining the proven Acoustic Fingerprint Technology with a new Transient Frequency Shift, eliminating feedback before it is even noticed by the user.
-
SoundLearning 2.0 is the most sophisticated learning algorithm on the market which best adapts to the user’s Individuality. Automatically steered by an intelligent acoustic situation detector, SoundLearning 2.0 allows the user to teach preferred gain, compression, and frequency shape independently for various acoustic situations.
