Siemens Hearing Solutions Introduces a New Generation of Advanced Digital Hearing Technology Bringing More Satisfaction to your Patients
PISCATAWAY, New Jersey - Siemens Hearing Solutions introduces TRIANO™, a new generation of advanced digital hearing instruments. Scheduled for distribution in March, TRIANO is a hearing system that focuses on patient comfort by offering a highly sophisticated algorithm that analyzes the environment and automatically makes the appropriate signal processing changes. And with a new practical user interface, TRIANO is extremely easy to fit.
The highlight of this intuitive digital technology is the Speech Comfort System. The Speech Comfort System provides increased comfort in many listening situations. All TRIANO hearing instruments feature the Speech Comfort System processing, exclusive to TRIANO. The System contains three components: Automatic Situation Detection, Signal Optimization and Automatic Directional Microphone.
1. With the Automatic Situation Detection, the system is able to decide whether the listening situation is speech, speech in noise, noise alone, or wind noise. Then it automatically applies appropriate modifications for that environment in real-time.
2. The Signal Optimization uncovers speech in background noise by employing a Fast Signal Optimizer (a high resolution, 16-channel noise reduction system) to provide even better performance in noisy situations. The Signal Optimization also consists of: Speech Sensitive Processing, Automatic Directionality, Wind Noise Reduction, Feedback Suppression, and Adaptive Telecoil (T-coil).
3. With the Automatic Directional Microphone TRIANO smoothly transitions between directional and omnidirectional modes in appropriate situations. The transition occurs smoothly and automatically without creating noise or other artifacts.
TRIANO takes directionality to a whole new level with its TriMic directional microphone system. Standard on the TRIANO 3 BTE, TriMic features three microphones working together to provide the highest degree of directional capability available in any hearing instrument.
While dual microphone systems work with a AI-DI of 4dB, TriMic is able to provide the highest level of speech intelligibility in noise available working with a AI-DI over 6dB.
Even though TRIANO offers so many advanced signal processing and directional capabilities in one product, TRIANO is so easy to fit. This is now possible with one simple interface screen for reduction of fitting complexity. The new simple interface screen clearly displays all the parameters and allows Hearing Health Care Professionals to make adjustments to TRIANO's programmable parameters and features quickly and easily.
TRIANO is available in all models from the smallest CIC (Completely-in-the-Canal) to a super power BTE (Behind-the-Ear). Appropriate for all types of hearing loss from mild to profound, there is a TRIANO solution for all ages, from infants through senior citizens.
