DIGITAL technology is the most sophisticated hearing aid technology.
Digital technology gives the audiologist maximum control
over sound quality and sound processing characteristics.
As of 2005, the OVERALL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ratings
of new hearing aids (which are essentially 90 percent
digital) is 77 percent!
There is qualitative and quantitative evidence that
digital instruments outperform analog hearing aids.
Digitals are not perfect, but they are extremely good
-- However, not all digital hearing aids are the same!
Within the "digital" world, there are better
and lesser units...speak with your audiologist to be
sure you're getting the right one for you. Digital hearing
aids are the most common recommendation, unless there
is a compelling reason to recommend a specific analog
product.
Many people ask about pricing relating to digital hearing
aids. It is important to know that thanks to the integration
of digital products across hearing healthcare, better,
faster, more reliable and less expensive digital hearing
aids are the "norm." |
