How digital and Bluetooth hearing aids work

Each hearing aid has at least one microphone, an amplifier, a receiver and a hearing aid battery (which is either replaced or rechargeable). In digital hearing aids, the amplifier acts as a computerised brain. It processes speech and audio picked up by the microphone and sends it to the receiver and into your ears, rather than simply making sounds louder like the traditional analogue hearing aids. A digital hearing aid amplifier instead, acts smartly to bring the many sophisticated layers of natural sound to life, to suit different settings, putting you in control so you enjoy them in your own personalised, individual and comfortable way.

Digital vs Analogue hearing aids

Before the development of digital hearing aid technology, hearing aids were based on analogue technology. But what is the difference?

	Analogue hearing aids	Digital hearing aids
Sound signals	Continuous and uniform	Sophisticated layers of sound
Ability to adapt to different sound environments	No – can only turn up the volume	Yes – sound signals vary and are individual
Background noise reduction	No	Yes
Natural-sounding speech	No	Yes
Can be customized to suit your hearing loss	No	Yes
Can pair and stream sound with other devices	No	Yes

The benefits of digital hearing aids

You can customise your hearing experience to suit your hearing loss, which in turn enhances your comfort level – no more screeching in certain settings!
You can play with the tone and volume of the sounds you hear, so it sounds natural and feels completely right.
You can fully connect with your world by pairing up with other digital devices you own, like your smartphone or your entertainment system, and sound will reach your ears without anyone knowing what or who you’re listening to!
Digital hearing aids are discreet and usually small so they blend in when you wear them, and are virtually invisible in use!
