Are Digital Hearing Aids better than Analogue Hearing Aids?

How do they differ?

Analogue hearing aids use a amplifier to raise all sounds by a certain amount, which can be adjusted by a simple volume control. The problem with this is that hearing loss is rarely equal over the range of pitches and by raising the volume to hear speech, we will be raising the level of background noise as well. Difficult!

In fact many of us have been put off wearing a hearing device for just that reason. The latest Digital Hearing instruments from manufacturers like Phonak, Oticon and Resound can be set not to enhance background noise, and to just concentrate on hearing speech, which is what hearing aids are designed to do. This means that Digital Hearing Aids are much better for more difficult types of hearing loss, and for hearing in background noise.

The newest digital hearing aids are also great at suppressing those unwanted sounds, incorporating features such as wind suppression and feedback cancellation. These two features can alone substantially improve one’s listening experience. Really for anyone wearing an analogue Hearing Aid they should try and listen to the benefits of these latest devices because the benefits really are incredible and must be experienced.

Its sometimes considered a cliché to hear customers who are wearing the latest devices, comment that "it really has changed my life", or "i can hear birdsong again". But its really anything but a cliché and it is only when we are able to experience these amazing new advances in hearing health that we can truly see at the benefits they deliver.

If you've got an analogue hearing device, or even if you just think you've got a hearing loss, look for free hearing tests from a local hearing audiologist and ask for a demonstration of digital hearing aids. It really is as simple as that, and anyone who is concerned about their hearing or currently wearing the older analogue style should go and have a look for themselves.

This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for orthopedic appliances, crutches, surgical belts, fracture appliances, artificial body parts, hearing aids, and pacemakers. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for orthopedic appliances, crutches, surgical belts, fracture appliances, artificial body parts, hearing aids, and pacemakers for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
