Olivia underwater with Siemens Aquaris waterproof hearing aids.wmv

Olivia is one of the first children in Australia to receive Siemens Aquaris Hearing Aids from Australian Hearing. She loves having fun in the pool and spa, but has been unable to hear near water. It’s not a good idea to wear regular hearing aids near water. Just a few drops of water or grains of sand can ruin the expensive little things. Not being able to hear in water is not just an inconvenience, it can also lead to safety issues. She would love to go to our local beach and the pool at school, but Olivia’s fun, communication and safety have always been limited by her inability to wear hearing aids in, or close to, water. Until now. As you can see in this video clip, a whole new world has just opened up for Olivia. Have fun, Olivia!

Fully Implantable Hearing Aids

In June 2007, Dr Herzog was interviewed regarding a completely implantable hearing aid. This new device has undergone a phase 1 trial with the Food and Drug Administration. The Center for Hearing and Balance Disorders is one of a limited number of centers selected to participate in the phase 2 study. The device is intended for individuals with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss, who would otherwise be hearing aid users. The hearing aid is completely implanted behind the ear. This will allow one to maintain a very active lifestyle without sacrificing hearing.
