Hearing aid technology has advanced over the past several years in
part due to increased comprehensive research
and development by large manufacturers.

Probably the most significant improvement is digital signal
processing (DSP). DSP has become standard since its
introduction in the 1990s. DSP allows for smaller devices,
automatic adjustments, and increased features.

Most people with hearing loss could get along fine without hearing aids if they lived in a quiet environment. However,
most of us live in constant background noise including
television, kitchen noise, fans, appliances, and others when
others are talking.

Directional microphones
Another way of eliminating unwanted background
noise. This is done with two microphones working
together to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Feedback managementGone are the squealing
hearing aids of the past. By making a stable gain
measurement in your ears, devices are programmed to automatically detect when
feedback (squealing) is going to occur.

The use of multiple programs allows the
listener to hear better in a variety of settings such as quiet, noise,
telephone, and music.

These options are available on most new
devices; however, not all of these options are
available on every model. Talk to an audiologist to
see which of these hearing aid options are
best for you.
