Waterproof Hearing Aids

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Siemens Aquaris Can Be Used During a Day at the Beach

— January 17, 2013 — Lifestyle
As much as a hearing aid can fill in missing parts of people's lives, it can also take away certain things, which the Siemens Aquaris hopes to compensate for. Until now, hearing aids have not been waterproof. Thus, the hearing impaired had to either sacrifice that sense when near water or simply avoided places like the beach and pool. The Siemens Aquaris hearing aid is a water-friendly alternative that allows wearer's to have their cake and eat it too.

More than that, the Siemens Aquaris hearing aid is tolerant to sand and dust, two other natural factors that can cause malfunctions in standard devices. With Watertight seals and membranes, the Siemens Aquaris hearing aid can be submerged in three feet of water for 30 minutes without damage. It can also stream audio directly from a source with VoiceLink.
Trend Themes
1. Waterproof Hearing Aids - Developing hearing aids that are waterproof and sand/dust resistant to cater to the active lifestyles of individuals with hearing impairments.
2. Enhanced Durability for Hearing Aids - Creating hearing aids with watertight seals and membranes to withstand immersion in water and resist sand and dust, providing increased durability and reliability.
3. Seamless Audio Streaming in Hearing Aids - Incorporating features like VoiceLink to enable hearing aids to directly stream audio from a source, enhancing user experience and convenience.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - Opportunity for hearing aid manufacturers to disrupt the healthcare industry by introducing waterproof and durable hearing aids that cater to the needs of active individuals with hearing impairments.
2. Consumer Electronics - Potential for disruptive innovation in the consumer electronics industry by developing hearing aids with seamless audio streaming capabilities and enhanced durability.
3. Recreation and Leisure - Opportunity to disrupt the recreation and leisure industry by providing individuals with hearing impairments the freedom to enjoy activities like swimming and beach visits without sacrificing their ability to hear.
