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.

Step 1 of 5

How do digital hearing aids work?

Modern, digital hearing aids work by amplifying sound via a three-part system:

  1. Microphone – Receives the sound waves and converts them into electrical signals
  2. Amplifier – Increases the strength of the sound signals and sends them to the ear 
  3. 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.
