Hearing aids, until recently, used analog signal processing. While these older analog instruments may still be available, nearly all hearing aids recommended today rely on digital hearing technology because of these advantages:
Lightweight and comfortable Digital electronics allow amazingly complex technologies to reside in a small, barely noticeable instrument.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Digital hearing aids can analyze an incoming sound, classify it into a category (such as speech, music, background noise, or feedback), then trigger the features that best manage that sound.
Noise Filtering Technology
Identifies background noise and reduces it in comparison to primary listening sounds, providing increased speech clarity and listening comfort.
Directional Technology
Turns down sounds coming from behind and around the sides of you. This helps direct your hearing to the sound you’re facing—like the person you’re speaking to, a television, or a live performance.
HearAid products feature the same components and digital hearing technology found in much more expensive hearing aids. It is not unusual for us to hear from our customers that a HearAid sounds as good as, if not better than, a traditional hearing aid they've tried that costs thousands more.
Many competitive digital hearing aids include complex programs that are suited for severe hearing loss—but may never be used by people with mild to moderate hearing loss. HearAid has identified the digital programs and features most needed by this type of user. We’ve pre-programmed them into our instruments and by eliminating the need for professional fitting and adjusting, we make digital hearing technology available and affordable for all.
