Hearing Aids: An Explanation. |
 The
term DIGITAL is used so often today, it can be confusing. When
the term "digital" is used while referring to hearing
aids, it generally means the hearing aid is 100% digital. In
other words, the hearing aid is indeed a "complete computer."
100% digital hearing aids have been commercially available since
1996 and are really wonders of modern technology. They can process
sound using incredibly fast speeds such as 100 to 200 million
calculations per second. Interestingly, most 100% digital hearing
aids have analog components, such as the microphone and the
receiver. 100% digital's transform analog information into a
digital signal and process the sound to maximize the speech
information you want to hear, while minimizing the amplification
of sounds you do not want to hear. |
 Today's
digital technology has evolved from first generation (early
models) to fourth generation (state of the art) which allows
the audiologist maximal control over the sound quality and the
loudness of the hearing aid. More importantly, all of this happens
"automatically" and allows the audiologist to tailor
or customize your hearing aids to what you want and need to
hear. In summary, if you want unsurpassed technology, GO DIGITAL
- get 100% digital hearing aids. |
