Siemens Life Open Ears is a new “type” of hearing instrument called an open-ear hearing instrument. The Life instrument provides the cosmetic benefits of the hard tiny CIC or Completely-In-the-Canal ear plug hearing aids without the ear plug effects of voice-in-a-barrel, noisy chewing, plugged-up feeling or the sensation of having a hard object in your ear.
“I’ve been a hearing-aid specialist since 1988 and have never seen anything like this,” said Stephen Dawkins, board-certified hearing instrument specialist at All Florida Hearing. “This is the biggest change in hearing aids I’ve ever seen. It’s just unreal.”
Siemens didn’t invent open ears hearing aids, but Dawkins feels they perfected them. Because of feedback, most open ear hearing aids could only fit a few patients with mild hearing losses. Siemens created a new high-speed phase canceling feedback control system, which manages sound leakage from the open ear. It works by creating an out of phase replica of the feedback, which cancels out the actual feedback. This gives the Life instrument a 12dB increase in gain, allowing them to fit a much greater hearing loss than was practical before. The new Centra Life model allows a 20dB increase of gain. No other open ear instrument has this feature.
The Life hearing instrument is ideal for the hearing impaired who have lost up to an average of half their hearing.
“It’s ideal for a lot of baby boomers out there who reject wearing hearing aids because of the side effects,” Dawkins said. “With this open ear instrument there’s no look of an aid in the ear, there is no plugged up feeling, and your voice sounds normal.”
The Life hearing instrument weighs less than one-tenth of an ounce and has a very natural sound.
“When we show patients what they’ll look like wearing them and how they sound — they get very excited,” Dawkins said.
The Life hearing instrument blends amplification with natural hearing through your open ear for what you need, rather than plugging you up and attempting to replace all of your hearing.
And there’s no waiting period as there was with previous hearing instruments. After your hearing is measured, and the instrument is programmed and fit, you can immediately see how you look and how it sounds. All Florida Hearing keeps a large selection of Siemens Life models in stock so patients can try them on immediately and wear them home the same day.
