What’s
in the technology?
Many people believe that all digital hearing systems are the same...nothing
could be further from the truth!
Listed below are some of the available features that modern digital
hearing systems can have. There is also an explanation how they could
help you in different listening situations.
Multi-channel
This allows the hearing instrument to be adjusted to perfectly
fit your hearing loss. This gives a crisp, clear sound.
Automatic volume control
A system that always keeps the sound at a comfortable level - never
too loud; never too soft. What’s more there is no need for
any fiddly controls.
Background noise reduction
This is the most popular feature on all modern digital hearing
systems. It stops background noise becoming annoying and will
help improve speech understanding when in a noisy environment.
Feedback management
Whistling is prevented without any loss of speech clarity.
Open ear acoustics
Prevents a ‘clogged-up’ feeling by mixing both natural
and amplified sounds.
Speech detection
Using the very latest in micro-processor technology, the
instrument can actually detect when speech is present.
Thus, allowing the instrument to make thousands of tiny,
but vital automatic adjustments per second, so as to focus
on speech...rather than noise.
Directional microphones
One of the most effective ways to be able to hear in all
situations, all of the time. Adding a second or third
microphone allows the device to analyse sound from all
directions, and make small but significant changes to the
sound that’s amplified.
Laser shells
Lasers form the acrylic shell of the device to ensure
that there will be a precise fit for the individual,
giving optimum comfort...and very often, much
smaller hearing aids.
