PISCATAWAY, N.J., July 2003 - Siemens Hearing Instruments continues its commitment to develop and produce the finest hearing instruments in the world with the introduction of MUSIC® Professional. MUSIC Pro builds on the success of its predecessors, MUSIC and MUSIC Digital, two of the company's most popular hearing instrument families. MUSIC Pro was designed with Siemens proven Voice Activity Detection (VAD) system and an enhanced set of fully digital features to offer more possibilities to both hearing care professionals and those who suffer from hearing loss.

· Two channels, flexible compression kneepoints and ratios, plus additional frequency shaping tools, which allow easy fittings that precisely meet the unique needs of each patient
· Patient-friendly features, which include Power On Delay, as well as acoustic signal indicators (beeps) for program changes and low battery condition
