Siemens is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of digital hearing instruments, utilizing the latest microelectronic technology. In fact, the company founder, Werner von Siemens, pioneered hearing aids when he invented the first technical solution for hearing loss in 1878. Since then, Siemens has remained a frontrunner in the hearing aid industry, developing many innovative products, such as the world’s first pocket-size hearing instrument, first remote control for hearing technology, first trainable hearing instrument, and first waterproof digital hearing aid.
