Say Goodbye to The Brand of Siemens Hearing Aids in China From 2020 January

In January 2020, the bell of the New Year just sounded, and many hearing aids fitting centers received notices that they have required all hearing aid stores to clear all the Siemens logo of all fittings tools, fitting equipment, fitting materials and other items from their centers and stores before January 14 of 2020.

This means that the brand name and logo of Siemens really need to completely withdraw from the stage of hearing aid history in China, as well as in the world market. In the streets and shopping mall, the advertising and sellings of Siemens hearing aids can no longer be seen from now on,it must be fake siemens hearing aids if you see in market.

About Siemens hearing aids

In 1913, Siemens began the first serial production of hearing aids in Berlin with the Esha-Phonophor. Esha (pronounced “es-ha”) mirrored the German pronunciation of S&H, the common abbreviation of the two founders of Siemens, Siemens & Halske.

At the end of World War II almost all of the plants in Berlin had been destroyed. Siemens-Reiniger-Werke, based in Erlangen, was the branch of the company specializing in medical technology, so it took over the audiological business in 1945 and had to restart from nearly nothing. The first hearing aids developed and produced in Erlangen were launched in 1951: the Phonophor Alpha. From then on, the number of hearing aids produced by Erlangen climbed steeply.

In January 2015, Siemens AG closed the sale of Siemens Audiology Solutions to EQT. Siemens Audiology Solutions was renamed Sivantos Group.

Last but not least, audibene joined Sivantos Group as our online hearing care company. The company was founded in early 2012 by Marco Vietor and Paul Crusius to harness the power of the internet to deliver high-quality hearing care to first-time customers.

On December 31, 2017, the Sivantos released the "Siemens Hearing Aid Product withdraw Notice", announcing that a number of Siemens hearing aid products withdrew from the Chinese market officially.

From then on, you may still see some advertises for Siemens hearing aids, but the actual situation is "there is currently a limited number of products in stock, while stocks last."

At the same time, the Siemens logo of the former Siemens hearing aid factory in Suzhou, China has been removed.
