Advanced Hearing Technology, Designed for Active Lifestyles, New Hearing Solution Brings it All Home - Affordably.
Piscataway, New Jersey, August 27, 2007 - Siemens Hearing Instruments, Inc., a leading manufacturer of hearing instruments in the United States, today announced the introduction of CIELO™ 2 Active - a new hearing solution designed for active consumers who are looking for comfort, practicality and state-of-the-art technology.
"Our goal was to create a hearing instrument that makes even the most active consumers forget that they're wearing it," said Dr. Thomas Powers, Vice President of Audiology and Professional Relations at Siemens Hearing Instruments. "CIELO 2 Active has no controls to fuss with, is small and comfortable, and stays dry and protected even during activity. And Hearing Care Professionals will appreciate how easy and fast it is to fit."
CIELO 2 Active includes Siemens proprietary AquaProtect™ technology: C-Guard™ wax protection system, GORE™ clip-on microphone cover and nanocoating - all of which allow the hearing instruments to resist perspiration, moisture, humidity and ear wax. In addition, CIELO 2 Active offers 6-channel digital signal processing, Speech and Noise Management, data logging, and an automatic and adaptive directional microphone system that improves speech understanding in noisy environments.
"CIELO 2 Active means patients can maintain their active life without worrying about their hearing instruments - whether they're working in their garden or out on the fairway," said Dr. Powers.
CIELO 2 Active is ergonomically shaped for optimum placement in the ear canal and is virtually invisible when worn. And with a wide selection of tips to fit all ear canals, fitting is fast and easy. CIELO 2 Active is also available in a range of colors to match various hair and skin tones for maximum cosmetic appeal.
CIELO 2 Active's extras include an optional ePocket™ remote control that gives access to virtually all instrument functions in a convenient, discreet, and simple manner. An additional option for CIELO 2 Active wearers is an easy-to-use charger that can charge both instruments at the same time. And after a five hour charge, the instruments are ready to wear all day and evening. Wearers don't have to worry about carrying extra batteries or instruments losing power. For even greater convenience, CIELO 2 Active also operates on regular hearing instrument batteries.
