Digital: The Ultimate in Sophisticated Hearing Technology
Why does music from a CD sound more crisp, clear, and distortion free than music from a record or a tape? The answer, at least in part, is the difference between analog and digital sound processing.
Digital hearing aids have one or more micro chip processors inside them that convert analog sound waves into the zeros and ones of computer language. Sound in this format can be processed more quickly and more efficiently than analog sound waves.
Digital algorithms quickly analyze sound levels and frequencies, manipulating them to provide a more efficient match to an individual's hearing loss.
For example, a person with a hearing loss may have trouble hearing soft sounds, but when some sounds are amplified even a small amount, they become uncomfortably loud. Hearing aids with digital compression circuitry are able to stratify incoming sounds and detect those that need amplification.
Custom Hearing Instrument Styles
| In - The - Ear |
 |
instruments house componentry in a custom formed ear mold that fits in the outer portion of the ear. Its size is helpful for those with limited dexterity. |
| In - The - Canal |
 |
instruments are smaller still, with an earmold that fits down in the ear canal, and a smaller portion facing into the outer ear. |
| Completely - In - The - Canal |
 |
aids are barely visible. CICs are popular for their aesthetic appeal, but their size may be unsuitable for some individual's ears. |

What You Should Know About Hearing Loss
- Hearing loss develops latter in life, comes on slowly, is permanent, and often gets gradually worse.
- Most of these looses can be helped effectively by individually selected prescribed and fitted hearing aids.
- Some adults can have their hearing corrected by an ENT or surgeon, so it is important to have an evaluation to make this determination.
Why You May be Unaware of the Problem
It is typical for individuals with a mild to moderate hearing loss to be unaware of their problem, even though family and friends are quite aware of it.
Hearing loss is invisible and almost always painless. There are no physical warning signs, except in some cases there may be ringing in the ear(s). But, the real reason hearing loss "sneaks" up on you is that the change is so gradual. Most hearing losses develop over a period of 25-30 years. By age 50 or 60, their can be enough deterioration to interfere with conversation.
Most hearing professionals believe that hearing loss in older adults is the accumulation of two or more causes, such as exposure to loud noises and family history or simply the natural aging process.
Hearing loss can prevent the quality of life you've hoped for. It can restrict your ability to interact with others, prevent you from hearing important information, cause misunderstandings, heighten stress, cause unnecessary fatigue, and filter out the subtle sounds of nature. Don't let poor hearing make you miss out on the many good and vital messages of life.
