There's always a need for better microphone and speaker technology in hearing instruments. Also, any proprietary signal processing, feedback reduction, etc algorithms might have made this a perfect acquisition to further advance Sonova's two main companies, Phonak (hearing aids) and Advanced Bionics (cochlear implants). I have Advanced Bionics on both sides, and can tell you that Sonova's focus on being the leader in technology has led to amazing products.
