for innovative and powerful hearing instruments is growing along with these trends.
Did you know that Siemens has been a leading supplier of hearing instruments for over
130 years? The company works intensively with universities, hospitals and hearing
centers and holds a large number of patents. Many Siemens hearing instruments are
equipped with Tek Connect technology and can be connected by Bluetooth to landline
and mobile telephones, stereo systems and TVs.

individual hearing instrument entirely to his personal needs. The "Life" series of
Siemens hearing instruments can be used to treat tinnitus. "Explorer" is the first
pediatric hearing instrument that adjusts its growth to the user. Thanks to its design
