Accurate Hearing Aid Center

What are digital hearing aids? If you’re in the market for a hearing aid - whether for the first time or a replacement model - it helps to know your product before purchasing. There are two different types of hearing aids - digital and analog. Analog hearing aids used to be the only type available. They work by altering sound waves electronically through miniature microphones, amplifiers and resistors. The altered signal is then converted back to a sound wave and sent to the... ear canal, according to TechTarget. A digital hearing aid, also called DSP, or digital signal processor, also uses a microphone, but unlike an analog hearing aid, it functions through a microprocessor that transmits sound to a computer chip that alters the signal more quickly and accurately, producing an exact duplication of sounds instead of just amplifying them, says TechTarget. Digital hearing aids can be programmed to filter out wind and other background noises. Some models some can sync to your smartphone so you can get hear calls through the hearing aid, according to Consumer Reports. They also allow you to use your phone to adjust the settings on your hearing aid. Digital hearing aids have opened up a whole new world for the hearing impaired. Accessories are available that allow you to stream audio from an MP3 player, your laptop, or TV into your hearing aid, adds Consumer Reports. The most sophisticated digital hearing aids have built-in intelligence that can differentiate between soft sounds and louder, annoying noise, amplifying the sounds you want to hear and neutralizing the latter, says TechTarget, which notes that digital hearing aids can also be programmed to self-adjust to their environment millions of times each second. Technology has also makes it possible for the hearing impaired to have their digital hearing aids customized for their own individual hearing issues.
