Digital Hearing Aids

Digital hearing aids are revolutionising hearing aid performance. Although no hearing aid can restore normal hearing the benefits of digitaly enhanced sound can be significant. Hearing aid performance is subjective and therfore it is important to recieve a 28 day trial to assess your personal benefit.

The key features of digital hearing aids are:

• Clearer reproduction of sound
• Better prescription fitting to the individual hearing loss via computer programmed fitting
• No user controls making for simpler operation
• Automatic adjustments of loud and soft sounds
• Speech enhancement automatically in noisy environments (in certain models)
• Can be readjusted to future changes in hearing (very easily)
• Can be made to fit completely in the canal
• No interference on digital mobile telephones (now on most models)

Key Disadvantages:

• Price the cost can vary from around £995 to £2195 (Dependent on model and maufacturer)
• Over expectation (Please remember that no hearing aid can restore normal hearing)
