I am very active and enjoy riding my bicycle, will Aquaris withstand my workouts?
Yes, enjoy life without limits! Aquaris’ waterproof capability protects it from sweat. Additionally, the soft-touch lacquering helps keep Aquaris securely in place and the Sport Clip can be used for even more security.
Can I wear Aquaris in the shower?
Yes, showering with Aquaris is no problem. Water will not harm Aquaris. However, you should avoid getting water in your ear canal as the only entry point for water into Aquaris is through the receiver opening. Avoid getting shampoo on Aquaris as it can impact its performance. Afterwards, dry Aquaris by gently blowing remaining water from under the microphone cover.
Will I be able to hear someone next to me while swimming?
Yes, don’t forget your earhook and special earmold for swimming.
I like to go diving. Can I hear underwater with Aquaris?
No. Even though Aquaris has been designed for continuous immersion in water, sound transmits very differently through water making it difficult to hear, therefore the instruments will not amplify when submerged. Remove your hearing instruments before diving.
I work in a very dusty and dirty environment. Can I use Aquaris while I work?
Yes, dirt and dust are not a problem for Aquaris. Be sure to clean your Aquaris after working in a dirty environment. Use a soft cloth and gently blow through the microphone cover to remove remaining dust and dirt.
Is Aquaris only for active people?
No. Aquaris is for everyone who never wants to miss a thing. There are many everyday situations that call for a robust device. Sweat and dirt while gardening, steam from boiling pasta, or sand and water while playing with a grandchild at the beach are all situations that Aquaris can handle without a problem.

Showering, gardening, mountain biking, walking in the rain or going swimming with the kids – Siemens Aquaris™ can handle it all. The housing of the Aquaris is completely protected, making the device suitable for continuous immersion in water – the first instrument of its kind to be successfully tested to the IP68 standard. And now, with 65 dB of gain and micon™, the new platform behind BestSound™ Technology, this sturdy solution offers more power than ever. Sweat, dust, dirt and sand mean nothing to the tough and durable Siemens Aquaris – perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy life without limits.
The required features should therefore be specified in each individual case at the time of conclusion of the respective contract.
miFocus This new 48-channel TwinMic System™ makes hearing effortless again. Directional microphones, improved localized noise suppression, higher frequency resolution and optional frequency compression for appropriate hearing losses offer more speech intelligibility, even in the most difficult environments. miGuide This powerful engine offers the wearer customized sound with automatic situation detection, an intelligent algorithm that learns user sound preferences, and automatic gain adjustment, which increases the gain over time to compensate for the effects of auditory deprivation. With ConnexxTM 7, frequency shaping for the detected situations can be manually adjusted.
