What Type of Hearing Aids are Available?
Hearing Aids are available in a variety of different shapes, sizes & types:
Digital hearing aids are the latest in hearing aid technology and have a small computer inside them. This computer will process the sounds the hearing aid receives. Having a small computer in them allows your hearing aid audiologist to customise the hearing aid to suit your hearing loss perfectly! A digital hearing device can also be cleverly programmed with preset settings. These presets are for different sound environments, for example a quiet room, an auditorium or a busy shop. If you require it, these presets can often be turned on or off using a small remote control (for example a special watch) so that the mode can be changed very discretely. The benefits of digital hearing aids can be:
- customized to suit your hearing;
- clearer listening in different environments;
- your hearing aid is less likely to give feedback (ie whistle);
- some digital hearing aids can identify noise and reduce the amplification required (providing more comfortable usage)
