The Digital Revolution

__________________________________________________________

In digital hearing instruments, the entire hearing aid circuit is a computer micro chip and all of the incoming sound waves are converted into the zeros and ones of computer language.  Sound in this format can be processed more quickly and efficiently. 

The technology in digital hearing aids enables the instrument to perform complex sound processing tasks that are not possible in conventional analog or programmable instruments. 

Digital technology provides a more efficient match to your hearing profile and hearing needs.

What's in it for me? (Benefits of digital signal processing)

• provides clean, crisp sound with less distortion which increases understanding

• suppresses (not eliminates) background noise resulting in less annoyance from undesirable environmental sounds

• measures the volume of sound that is coming into your hearing aid and knows how loud different sounds have to be therefore making soft sounds audible, speech sounds comfortable, and loud sounds tolerable

• digital hearing instruments are fully computer programmable and can be easily reprogrammed if hearing loss changes

• provides “tailor made” amplification that results in a more natural sound

• provides an overall increase in sound quality

• offers a  more desirable level of listening comfort

• enables hearing health professionals to sculpt the output of the hearing instrument to match your hearing loss more accurately

• supplies increased flexibilty for fine tuning

• have the option of additional listening programs such as programs for listening in quiet environments or for listening in crowds
