Digital Hearing Aids

You have probably heard something about digital hearing aids. Digital hearing aid instruments are the best technology offered by the hearing aid industry today...the top of the pyramid...state of the art. They are now available from virtually every hearing aid manufacturer in all sizes and in various levels of sophistication.


These modern day hearing aids have a lot of advanced features. There is a hearing aid suitable for everyone, regardless of your budget and hearing requirement.Digital hearing aids offer more advantages over the older, analog version. Many hearing aid manufacturers no longer produce analog models and focus all of their attention on producing newer digital models.
Prices of digital hearing aids have fallen, which is another reason why analog hearing aids are dying out.


Analogue Hearing Aids-Do not distinguish different sounds and therefore amplify all sounds equally, which means some sounds, are too loud while others may be difficult to hear. This is rectified when the hearing aid user adjusts the volume
Programmable analogue hearing aids are equipped with different programs that are saved in the aid. The programs are then switched depending on the listening environment. As an example, one program will work during a conversation, while the other may work best while in the theatre.


Digital Hearing Aids-Translate sound to digital code, change it and re-transmit it back by using mathematical calculations.Duplicates sound transmission.Produces a high quality sound that is extremely accurate.
