Case Study: WSAudiology speeds hearing aid development with Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA CST Studio Suite

WS Audiology: The Future of Hearing Care

WSAudiology (WSA), one of the world's largest hearing aid manufacturers, faced significant design challenges in creating smaller, more reliable, and discreet devices. They needed to optimize complex electromagnetic performance and ensure durability in a highly competitive market while mitigating issues like unwanted sound interference. To address this, WSA turned to vendor Dassault Systemes and implemented SIMULIA's CST Studio Suite for electromagnetic field simulation.

Using Dassault Systemes' simulation solution, WSA digitally tested designs against invisible physics, including electromagnetic compatibility, antenna performance, and drop tests, before building physical prototypes. This approach minimized the need for extensive physical testing and many iterative prototypes. The results were substantially shortened development cycles, allowing WSA to push innovation to the limits of physics and confidently bring advanced, compact, and affordable hearing aids to market faster.
