Siemens Centra Hearing Aid

Express Hearing Aids, your source for high end hearing aids at discount prices, presents CENTRA - Central to what really matters.
PLEASE NOTE: The Centra line (SP, HP, P, SVC, S) requires a custom made earmold, which is NOT INCLUDED. You must get one made at your local hearing professional BEFORE you can use these aids. The ear mold is NOT included in our price.
What really matters to wearers is enjoying the most natural, personal, and comfortable listening experience possible. That’s why Siemens developed CENTRA, the world’s most wearer-focused hearing instrument. CENTRA features breakthrough technologies like SOUNDSMOOTHING which suppresses impulsive noise such as the rustling of paper - while leaving speech signals intact. DATALEARNING, which learns the wearer’s loudness preferences and adjusts automatically. And E2E WIRELESS, for natural and precise localization.
Benefits of CENTRA technology:
–SOUNDSMOOTHING - recognizes and reduces impulsive noises.
– DATALEARNING - remembers your volume preferences for each individual listening program.
– E2E WIRELESS - keeps hearing instruments properly balanced at all times and you on the controls.
– ENHANCED FEEDBACK CANCELLATION with adaptive attack time - automatically adapts the timing of the system to act on the incoming sound. This feature reduces or eliminates feedback with virtually no artifacts in any condition.
– MAXIMUM FITTING FLEXIBILITY and ease - CENTRA’s 16/8 channel frequency shaping and compression system, along with its versatile custom and BTE portfolio, provides more fitting and customization opportunities than any product available.
– eWINDSCREEN - the best electronic wind reduction system that Siemens has ever created. It detects wind conditions and adapts the hearing instruments automatically for maximum comfort.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars A Good Starter hearing Aid
I had my hearing professionally tested and was told I needed an $1,800 aid.

I decided to try this one because of the affordable price and it seems to work well.

It fits quite comfortably in my ear using the large tip (comes with three).

It must be seated properly in your ear or there will be some whistling but after some practice and 5 days later I am quite pleased with it.

While wearing it, I have not yet had to ask anyone to repeat what they said.

Also, my biggest hearing problem is where there is ambient background noise. I tried it out yesterday on the shop floor of a noisy plant during a sales call.

Normally, I would not be able to hold a conversation there but had no problem using this hearing aid (and an earplug in my other ear.) I am very pleased about this because it had started to become an problem for me!

This is my first hearing aid so I can’t compare it to anything else other than to say it works fine and if nothing else is a good starter unit.

Oh, and the batteries are size 312 and readily available in all big-box stores and big name pharmacies. After 5 days I am still using the original battery I started off with (should last 10-14 days according to the instructions)but make sure you peel off the sticker from the battery before inserting it into the unit.

This hearing aid gets my approval, if I run into any issues, I will update this review!

Within 48 hours of receipt, the digital hearing aid was returned to sender. I did everything according to directions but it did nothing to improve my hearing problems. There was some hesitation about a refund but eventually I think I got my money back

3 Stars MaxiSound Hearing Aid
It’s OK. It amplifies. Unfortunately there is no way to filter sharp or loud sounds, i.e. no volume limiter. The earpiece is uncomfortable, even after several days trying to accustom to it; it tends to come loose and does not seal well (I have replaced it with an expanding foam item made from an airline earplug. This is much more comfortable and seals better, but is more difficult to remove and I don’t know how long it will last). For the money, I expected more.
