Digital hearing aids

Digital hearing aids are essentially smart minicomputers in your ear. They offer an improved hearing experience by automatically adjusting to the sound environment around you. The settings can be personalized, and they can connect to other digital devices.

How do digital hearing aids work?

Modern, digital hearing aids work by amplifying sound via a three-component system:

  1. Microphone – Receives the sound waves and converts them into electrical signals
  2. Amplifier – Increases the strength of the sound signals and sends them to the ear 
  3. Receiver/speaker - Converts the amplified electrical signal into sound and delivers it into the ear canal

Digital hearing aids automatically adjust the volume and listening programs based on the environment.
