The Main Digital Hearing Aid Types

If you're the kind of person who finds it difficult to make a choice when shopping, the search for the right hearing aid might prove to be a nightmare. You'll find soon enough that there is anything but a shortage of choice out there. Manufacturers are in tight competition for your purchasing dollar and that means additional features, flashier advertisement and packaging, and differences that are not easily discernible from one model to another. If you have no idea where to even begin when buying, you can do yourself a favor by getting in touch with a friendly, helpful hearing center. The technicians there will be able to find you a product based on your needs. If you'd like an overview of what you're looking at beforehand, here's a glance at three different tiers of digital devices.

Entry

The first tier of devices falls into the entry level category. These models have been designed with the new user in mind and are often a good starting point for anyone who has never used a hearing aid before or has only used an analog device. This model may also be best for anyone who considers themselves the furthest thing from a "tech-head" and doesn't care for electronics that get too complicated. In other words, anyone who used to have a VCR that flashed 12:00 may find what they like in this category. They will still come with features such as feedback reduction and background noise minimization.

Advanced

The next tier up for the digital hearing aid could be classified as the "advanced" category. Unlike the entry-level devices, which seldom have the power capacity to help those with extreme levels of auditory loss, these models are perfectly capable of handling those with any level of loss. They are also capable of being programmed precisely to handle various needs. You'll also find better versions of the feedback reduction and background noise reduction than found in less expensive models.

Premium

Also designed for any level of auditory loss, the premium tier of digital hearing aid is available to those who enjoy more complex forms of technology and have the budget to buy something a bit more expensive. These models come with an unprecedented ability to be programmed for various situations and auditory needs. Multi channel devices are available, ensuring the highest clarity and equalizers are built in to customize one's listening experience.
