Aquaris, Siemens FIRST truly waterproof* hearing instrument resists dust, sweat, and shock.

Siemens Hearing Instruments, Inc., (www.usa.siemens.com/hearing) will unveil a host of products at theAmerican Academy of Audiology AudiologyNOW! 2011 conference – including the new Aquaris™.

The world’s first, truly waterproof¹, dustproof and shock-resistant digital hearing instrument.

“Siemens Hearing is once again providing revolutionary products suited to the most demanding environments. Aquaris frees people from the limitations that up until now wearing hearing instruments imposed”

With a housing constructed from one solid piece, watertight microphone membrane and a waterproof battery compartment, Aquaris can be submerged in up to three feet of water. It features an ergonomic shape and non-slip, textured surface that holds the Aquaris behind the ear to help prevent slipping. In addition, it has an optional Sport Clip to secure the instrument during intense movement and high-impact activities and a water-resistant Aquapac to protect audio devices.

Aquaris is equipped with Siemens clinically proven BestSound™ Technology with FeedbackStopper™ and SpeechFocus™ for true sound comfort, clarity and excellent speech understanding, and the industry’s most stable feedback management system².

“Siemens Hearing is once again providing revolutionary products suited to the most demanding environments. Aquaris frees people from the limitations that up until now wearing hearing instruments imposed,” said Scott Davis, Siemens Hearing Instruments acting CEO. “Now people participating in leisure activities that involve water or dust such as sailing, swimming, kayaking or gardening need not worry. Aquaris is also ideal for people who live or work in humid or dusty environments, or for anyone who engages in sweat-inducing, physically intense activities like construction work, farming, golfing, hiking, biking or jogging.”
