smartsound When we hear, the brain processes acoustic input from both ears to interpret what we hear and where the sound is coming from. This binaural hearing helps us localize the direction and focus on what we want to hear. Inspired by natural hearing processes, Siemens smarthearing technology is the only hearing technology clinically proven to allow hearing impaired wearers to understand speech significantly better in challenging listening situations than even their normal-hearing counterparts.* * Two independent clinical studies have shown that Siemens hearing aids with binaural processing provide better than normal hearing capabilities in certain demanding listening environments. With smartsound, the hearing devices work as a pair, communicating with each other to replicate natural hearing processes. smartsound in action.
