Twenty-eight million Americans have hearing problems, ranging from the mild to profound. Many people who have invested in hearing aids are not happy with their solutions and have found they need to alter their lifestyles, avoiding social situations, crowded restaurants and outdoor noise.
With traditional hearing aids, wearers often experience a great degree of difficulty understanding speech with even the smallest amounts of competing noise. However, with its new technology, Siemens Hearing Instruments has developed the TRIANO Speech Comfort System to reduce the effort and strain that is sometimes accompanied with wearing hearing aids. With the Speech Comfort System, there is no need to manually adjust the hearing aid for different listening situations. It has the ability to detect the listening situation and minimize listening effort automatically as well as maximize understanding of speech with a revolutionary, automatic directional microphone system. In fact, Siemens Hearing Instruments just announced the release of published data that proves more than 95 percent of individuals with hearing loss evaluated in university studies understood speech in noisy situations within the range of normal-hearing individuals, ages 18 to 29 years old, when wearing Siemens TRIANO hearing aid.
