Siemens Hearing Instruments researchers were recently awarded the prestigious German Future Prize, for developing a binaural hearing system, enabling users to follow conversations even in noisy situations. The innovative system enables hearing devices in both ears to communicate with one another, a significant and evolutionary step towards spatial hearing.
