Different Hearing Aids
What the New Hearing Aid Technology can do for You
An Entry-level digital hearing aid provides good performance in noise, soft speech sounds are more audible, loud sounds are not uncomfortable, and hearing is definitely improved.
Mid-level digital hearing aids usually have more than one microphone for better directional hearing, generally have more sophisticated noise reduction capabilities, and usually have programmable telephone settings.
Advanced-level digital hearing aids have the most flexibility in terms of addressing different listening situations. They provide exceptional performance in noise with automatic noise trackers, and they provide exceptional sound quality in almost any listening environment.
But digital technology is only the beginning of the improvements being made in the audiology industry. The ergonomics of hearing aids have also changed in many ways. New ear impression techniques and new materials make for a longer-lasting and more comfortable fit. Several manufacturers now have the ability to digitalize the impressions of your ears and can create the hearing aid shell through laser technology.
