Siemens Website:

I recommend bypassing www.siemens.com and going directly to www.hearing-siemens.com to learn about Siemens hearing aid products. The USA site is at usa.siemens.com. The USA site has a sister site, www.siemens-hearing.com.

Siemens Hearing Aid History:

Siemens' involvement in hearing aids seems to have begun in 1878, when Werner von Siemens developed a telephone receiver for people with hearing loss. This receiver amplified sound. More Siemens hearing aid history can be found on the hearing-siemens.com website under About Us..Our History.

Siemens Hearing Aids :

At the time I visited the site, ten different hearing aid models were listed under "products."

Siemens' hearing aid product line includes wireles hearing aids that "communicate" with each other, soft tip hearing aids (alternative to ear molds), multiple color choices, technologies such as directional microphone technology, a range of styles from CIC to BTE.

Siemens Hearing Aid Technology :

Under "Products," there is a subcategory, "Technology," that goes into more detail on the key technologies used in the hearing aids, including automatic situation detection, and noise suppression.

Siemens Hearing Aids for Kids:

Siemens has a separate product line for children, including specialized ear hooks. Colorful and cartoon-decorated hearing aids are available. There is an infant hearing aid designed for use by infants.

Siemens Office Locations:

Siemens is based in Germany (Berlin, Munich) but has offices and websites worldwide. In the United States, the Siemens headquarters is in Piscataway, New Jersey.

Buying Siemens Hearing Aids:

Siemens offers a locator service at www.siemens-hearing.com/locator/search.asp for finding hearing professionals that sell Siemens hearing aids.
