HEARING AIDS

Digital hearing instruments are the newest technological alternative. Their complex computer chips are suitable for most hearing losses. Precision, in-office custom-fittings, and advanced problem solving flexibility are true advantages. Digital offers the newest approach to processing sound and unparalleled sound quality.

Premium digital instruments have dual microphone technology. The two microphone system offers automatic directionality for picking up the weaker sound in front of you while decreasing the side noise input. This level also has automatic volume adjustment and noise reduction. Adjustment can also be made by ear level pushbutton, pocket handheld remote, or wristwatch remote control.

Midlevel digital hearing aids are another option. They are available with a manual volume control and ear level pushbutton access to different comfort programs in their hearing aids for noise reduction and telephone programming.

Entry Level digital hearing aids are suitable for most degrees of hearing loss. Manual volume controls and a single memory are beneficial for fairly quiet areas and while watching TV.

The following models/sizes are available in all the Digital levels:
