Imagine looking like a viking, carrying around a hearing trumpet, the horn of a goat? Gone are the days. Digital hearing aids are your secret weapon. They make you feel the room and keep you safe from cars (and monsters) coming from behind you. With advances in technology, you feel the surround sound, life in 3D, like you’ve always known it.

FAQ
Digital hearing aids: FAQ
What is a digital hearing aid?
Digital hearing aids convert sound waves into digital signals to produce an exact duplication of sound. Computer chips in digital hearing aids analyze speech and other environmental sounds. They give context to any situation. They can also be used to take phone calls and listen to books or music.
Are digital hearing aids better?
Unlike analogue (old) hearing aids, which merely make everything louder, digital hearing aids are able to distinguish between speech and background noise. They're smarter.
How do digital hearing aids work?
They perform at lightning speed and are more sensitive to a change in environment. They can also be programmed according to your specific hearing loss. In a nutshell: 1) A microphone receives sound and converts it into a digital signal. 2) An amplifier increases the strength of the digital signal. 3)The speaker releases the amplified sound into the ear canal.
How long do digital hearing aids last?
A lot of that depends on who you are: a fireman, boxer, arctic explorer or a blogger/sofa-hugger/home office hero. Most modern hearing aids will last on average between three and seven years.
Which is better, analog or digital hearing aids?
Analog hearing aids merely make everything louder, meaning they amplify sound. Digital hearing aids distinguish between background noise and speech. They also double as streaming devices so that you can take phone calls and listen to music or the TV through them too.
Are digital hearing aids expensive?
Digital hearing aids can seem prohibitively expensive, but it’s important to know that you are paying for far more than just the devices themselves. When you acquire hearing aids, the price includes follow-up adjustments, routine cleanings and a warranty that can range from one to three years.
