Hearing Aid Technology

Hearing aids contain digital circuits that allow the audiologist to program the hearing aid based on the hearing loss, and the patient's perception of sound, and make modifications based on the environments the patient encounters.

Digital circuitry allows the hearing aid to amplify soft sounds more than loud sounds while filtering out background noise in noisy environments. Digital noise reduction technology allows the hearing aid to monitor your listening environments and reduce background noise while focusing in on speech.

Our ENT clinic in Medford offers four levels of hearing aid technology which include a basic technology level, standard level technology, mid-level technology, and premium technology.

Three Levels of Hearing Aids

  • Basic technology level hearing aids assist in common listening environments such as one-on-one conversations and watching television.

 

  • Standard technology level hearing aids assist in reducing some background noise to better focus on listening environments such as in restaurants or movie theaters.

 

  • Mid-level technology provides advanced technology for hearing assistance in more diverse and challenging listening environments such as meetings, church services, and social environments.

 

  • Premium technology level provides the ultimate technology to provide hearing assistance in complex listening environments such as social gatherings, the mall, hearing conversations taking place in the backseat of cars, and in crowds.
