Discover the world of Siemens Explorer
Little ears need small hearing instruments, but also lots of power. Siemens Explorer 500 M and 500 P are designed to optimize the balance between size and power, and are versatile enough to fit kids of all ages. Moreover, in cases where hearing loss might increase, you don't have to worry about finding a new device every time a change is detected. Siemens Explorer's amplification can be easily adjusted to suit changing hearing needs.
High-frequency speech sounds are important for speech understanding and clarity. Clinical studies indicate that hearing instruments with extended frequency range may improve speech understanding and language acquisition of hearing impaired children1. So we designed Siemens Explorer with an extended frequency range, which supports language acquisition by allowing children to hear words more distinctly.
Direct Audio Input (DAI) is made for connecting kids to school. This empowering technology literally brings a teacher's or your voice directly into your child's little ears. Fully compatible with virtually all FM transmitters used in schools, the Direct Audio Input feature lets kids of all ages establish dedicated audio connections with parents, teachers, and other carers.
In addition, Siemens Explorer's “Speech activated FM” feature allows fully automatic operation of the DAI. When no FM signal is received, Siemens Explorer automatically activates the microphone. But as soon as speech is detected coming from the FM system, it quickly and automatically switches to the FM setting.
