No longer willing to just focus on ears, Siemens Hearing Instruments starts focusing on who they're attached to
Piscataway, NJ, April 2, 2008 - In an effort to better serve the hearing-impaired community, Siemens Hearing Instruments has taken on a whole new outlook. No longer content to simply design the best hearing instruments for ears, Siemens is designing the best hearing instruments for the whole person.
Being in the business of hearing means focusing on ears and perhaps losing sight of the fact that those ears are attached to people;different people, with different needs, lifestyles and requirements in their hearing instruments.
Siemens has come to realize that not all hearing instruments fit all people and it's important to take the whole person into account and not just their ears. That's why they've developed a wide array of new products, designed with people in mind. There's Pure® for the person looking for something discreet;Vibe® for those who want their hearing instrument to make a statement;Active for those who lead an active lifestyle;Explorer™ is designed with children in mind and technology such as Tek™ wirelessly connects hearing instruments directly to today's latest technology, such as cell phones and MP3 players.
For over 100 years Siemens Hearing instruments has dedicated itself to helping people hear better and now they're taking it one step further by offering hearing instruments that not only help people hear better, but live better.
