1. Why Do I Need To Upgrade To a Digital Hearing Device
People who still wear analog hearing devices are missing
out on the clarity and control that could come from a
digital hearing device. It’s kind of like the difference
between listening to music on a cassette tape player
compared to an mp3 player, and watching TV through an
antennae rather than an HDTV satellite connection.
Digital hearing devices are leaps and bounds above
analog hearing devices in several key areas, making them a major upgrade for people
who suffer from hearing loss.
Digital hearing devices have miniature computer processors built into them that receive
sound from the microphone and instantly digitally adjust it before sending it out of the
speaker. These digital adjustments allow the hearing aid to filter out background noise,
recognize and amplify just voices, and specifically adjust the sounds based on your
unique type of hearing loss. Analog hearing devices can’t perform these actions with the
same clarity and reliability.
Another major perk of digital hearing devices is that they control many of the factors
that bother people in analog devices. For example, they can digitally respond to
feedback and adjust before you hear any unpleasant sounds, and they have very flexible
gain processing. Digital hearing aids also interact well with directional microphones to
provide a wider range of information about the sounds occurring around you. Lastly,
they communicate wirelessly and clearly with many other digital devices you use.
Many hearing aid manufacturers do not even make analog hearing devices anymore,
which shows you how much better digital ones are. Especially if you’re having trouble
hearing with your analog device, it really may be time to make an appointment with
your hearing aid provider to learn more about the digital hearing aids available to you.
