WHY CHOSE A DIGITAL HEARING AIDS

 

What is a digital hearing aids?

Digital hearing aids have all the features of analog programmable aids, but they convert sound waves into digital signals and produce an exact duplication of sound. Computer chips in digital hearing aids analyze speech and other environmental sounds. The digital hearing aids allow for more complex processing of sound during the amplification process which may improve their performance in certain situations (for example, background noise and whistle reduction). They also have greater flexibility in hearing aid programming so that the sound they transmit can be matched to the needs for a specific pattern of hearing loss. Digital hearing aids also provide multiple program memories.

 

The Benefits of Digital Hearing Aid

There are many options in digital hearing aids today. Performance in background noise is the number one complaint of most individuals with hearing loss and that of most previous hearing aid wearers. The following techniques can help manage background noise:

 

1.Multiple listening programs

Digital hearing aids are equipped with more than one listening program. Settings include situations where there is a lot of background noise as well as situations where there is little to no background noise. Hearing aids with multiple programs may automatically change between programs or can be manually changed by the individual. Some hearing aids may also come with remote controls.

 

2.Directional microphone technology

This is also a strategy for better hearing in background noise. Hearing aids that come with just one microphone function in an omnidirectional mode (meaning sound is picked up from all around). Hearing aids with directional microphone capabilities typically have two microphones and have the ability to focus (or direct) one microphone toward the sound source while the other attempts to decrease some of the background noise.

 

3.Customizable

Digital hearing aids can be customized to an individual’s hearing loss. After hearing testing is completed, the hearing aids are programmed to the specific degree and pattern of hearing loss observed in the test results.

 

Because people always stay at different environments, Digital hearing aids have automatic features that can adjust the volume and programming for improved hearing in different environments, that is why chose a digital hearing aids.

ADVANCES IN HEARING AID TECHNOLOGY: IMPROVING LIVES FOR THE HEARING IMPAIRED

图片
Hearing aids are becoming increasingly popular as a solution for those with hearing loss. With the aging population, the demand for hearing aids is expected to increase in the coming years. Advances in technology have made hearing aids more powerful, smaller, and easier to use. There are two main types of hearing aids: behind-the-ear ( BTE ) and in-the-ear (ITE). BTE hearing aids are worn behind the ear and have a small tube that connects to an earpiece that sits inside the ear canal. ITE hearing aids are worn inside the ear canal and are custom-made to fit the individual’s ear. Recent developments in hearing aid technology have led to the development of “smart” hearing aids. These devices are capable of connecting to smartphones and other devices, allowing the user to control the hearing aid through an app. They can also adjust to different listening environments, such as a noisy restaurant or quiet office. Another recent development in hearing aid technology is the use of artificial

Preserving Your Hearing: Essential Tips for Auditory Health

图片
hearing Loss   is a widespread issue that can greatly affect communication and overall well-being. It is essential to take proactive measures to protect our   hearing   and maintain good   auditory health . This article provides valuable tips and strategies for safeguarding our ears from noise-induced hearing loss. Limit Exposure to Loud Noises: One of the most effective ways to prevent hearing loss is by minimizing exposure to loud sounds. Encourage individuals to avoid or reduce their time in noisy environments, such as attending excessively loud concerts or sporting events. In situations where exposure to loud noises is unavoidable, it is crucial to use  earplugs  or earmuffs to reduce the intensity of sound and protect the delicate structures of the inner ear. Utilize Volume-Limiting Devices: With the prevalence of personal audio devices like smartphones and MP3 players, it is important to promote the use of devices with volume-limiting features. These features restrict the maximum

Binaural hearing brings you a better hearing experience

hearing   impairment in one ear for an extended period may lead to a gradual increase in the   hearing Loss   of the weaker ear and can impede the development of the hearing pathway. In a similar vein, hearing deprivation in one ear may compromise the ability to locate sounds accurately. When an individual cannot judge the direction of a sound source, it can lead to potentially hazardous situations. Additionally, hearing difficulties are often exacerbated in noisy environments, and individuals may struggle to discern critical information. For instance, even in quiet settings, it may be possible to miss essential sound cues. Asymmetric hearing loss during childhood can lead to developmental barriers to language acquisition, intellectual hurdles, and difficulties in communication, highlighting the importance of early intervention. Binaural hearing offers several benefits, such as eliminating hearing deprivation in the weaker ear. For children, early intervention is crucial for developing
