Digital vs analogue hearing aids
Analogue hearing aids simply amplify the sounds around you. But digital hearing aids convert the sound waves into digital signals.
Digital hearing aids are usually fitted and fine-tuned by a hearing care expert. They can also be programmed to adjust automatically to the sound environment (unlike analogue hearing aids).
As technology advances, the capabilities of the latest digital hearing aids are becoming increasingly powerful.
Popular digital hearing aid features
360-degree sound experience
One of the latest technological advancements in digital hearing aids, this feature can give you access to the relevant sounds around you (including speech). This puts you in charge of which sounds you want to focus on.
BrainHearing™ technology
The latest digital hearing aids from Oticon support the brain’s natural process of making sense of sound. They allow the brain to hear in the most natural way possible.
Feedback reduction
Digital hearing aids can stop this annoying whistling sound before it happens so that there is no potential feedback
that can interrupt speech understanding and communication.
Tinnitus support
The tinnitus masking feature in digital hearing aids gives you access to a range of customisable tinnitus relief sounds that are dynamic, yet soothing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Many digital hearing aids can easily be connected to all your favourite devices, allowing your hearing aids to be used as wireless headphones.
Rechargeable batteries
Many digital hearing aids have built-in batteries that do not need to be replaced regularly (unlike disposable batteries). Simply charge your hearing aids in the charging station overnight.

How do digital hearing aids work?
Modern, digital hearing aids work by amplifying sound via a three-part system:
- Microphone – Receives the sound waves and converts them into electrical signals
- Amplifier – Increases the strength of the sound signals and sends them to the ear
- Receiver/speaker – Converts the amplified electrical signal into sound and delivers it into the ear canal
Digital hearing aids automatically adjust the volume and listening programs based on the environment.
