ACURIS.The First Hearing System That Talks To Each Other
ith the introduction of wireless technology in hearing instruments, its finally time for the right ear to say hello to the left. Until recently, individuals wearing two hearing instruments wore instruments that did not communicate with each other. Functioning independently, wearers had no choice but to spend more time operating each separately. Recent wireless communication technology developed by Siemens Hearing Instruments now enables our newest hearing instruments to share information. The result is two hearing instruments that literally talk to each other so they function as one synchronized system. The only hearing system available on the market with e2e wireless communication i s A CU RI S f r om Siemens. ACURIS utilizes e2e wireless to control the digital sound processing between the left and right hearing instruments delivering the benefits of binaural hearing (listening with two ears). This proprietary wireless technology, developed exclusively by Siemens, enables the instruments to exchange vital information and automatically adjust themselves to the wearers listening environment. The two hearing instruments work together to make decisions regarding both speech and noise within the wearers listening environment ensuring that he or she receives the best sound from both instruments. Approximately 80% of individuals with hearing loss have a loss in both ears and binaural hearing using both earshas always held great promise for them, said Dr. Thomas Powers, Chief Research Officer for Siemens Hearing Instruments. ACURIS is the first truly binaural hearing system because the instruments in both ears work together as one system. Although ACURIS is complete-
ly automatic, if desired, individuals can manually adjust the volume or listening mode with little effort on their part. With just a touch of one control on one instrument, a wearer can instantaneously adjust either volume or listening mode for both ears. This is particularly important for individuals with dexterity problems or decreased touch sensitivity. The makers of ACURIS also developed a two-way remote control called ePocket. ePocket not only functions like a TV remote responding to commands regarding volume and listening mode, but it also reports back to the user on the status of volume level, listening mode, and battery power. Its two-way capability is also ideal for parents, teachers, or other caregivers to check the volume, program, and battery of the child or individual wearing the instruments. Clearly, wireless communication is a quantum leap forward in hearing instrument technology, but there is a lot more that ACURIS offers. Each instrument contains advanced digital sound processing with Digital Noise Suppression, Digital Speech Enhancement, and High Speed Feedback Cancellation. So if an individual chooses to wear ACURIS in only one ear, he or she will benefit from its technological foundation. Then, if at some time in the future, they should experience hearing loss in the other ear, they can request a second instrument and experience the convenience of e2e wireless. Built into every ACURIS hearing instrument, e2e wireless is available on all models from a powerful Behind-the-Ear to the almost unnoticeable Micro-Completely-in-theCanal. For more information on ACURIS with the e2e wireless or to find a Hearing Care Professional in your area, visit Siemens online at www.usa.siemens.com/hearing.
