Digital Hearing Aid BD
A digital hearing aid is a hearing aid device that receives sound and digitizes it (breaks sound waves up into very small, discrete units) prior to amplification. A traditional analog hearing aid simply makes the sound wave larger to amplify sounds.
What is the difference between a regular hearing aid and a digital hearing aid?
Analog hearing aids use a standard microphone to amplify sounds, before sending them to speakers in your ear. On the other hand, digital hearing aids take sound waves that are picked up by the microphone. Digital hearing aids then translate the waves into a computer code.
How does a digital hearing aid work?
A hearing aid is a small electronic device that you wear in or behind your ear. The hearing aid receives sound through a microphone, which converts the sound waves to electrical signals and sends them to an amplifier. The amplifier increases the power of the signals and then sends them to the ear through a speaker
How many channels do you need on a hearing aid?
For example, a hearing aid with three channels treats all sounds under 1,000 Hz as low frequency, all sound between 1,000 and 3,000 Hz as mid-frequency and all sounds over 3,000 Hz as high frequency. Your doctor determines whether you need a multi-channel or single-channel hearing aid based on your hearing test.
