Digital hearing aids differ from traditional analog devices in that they digitize sound instead of merely amplifying it. Sound frequencies are transformed into digital information, which helps with distinguishing between different types of sounds such as speech and unwanted noise.
The ability to make this distinction not only helps your ability to hear, but it also improves speech intelligibility. This means you can hear and understand your conversation partner better while the device simultaneously cancels unwanted background noise.
Another benefit of digital hearing aids is that they can be programmed to adapt to your current listening environment automatically and in real time. Digital technology also allows for the creation of different customized programs to address your personal hearing needs.
Additional features of digital hearing aids include Bluetooth technology and feedback reduction. Digital hearing aids can detect feedback before you hear it and immediately cancel or reduce it.
