How Digital Hearing Aids Work

The technology behind your hearing

Digital hearing aids convert sounds into a digital signal, which is then processed by a computer chip. This allows for more sophisticated sound processing with amplified clarity in one-on-one conversations, noisy group settings and public spaces.
Modern digital devices filter out background noise for clearer sound in various environments and can adapt to different settings without manual intervention.
Wireless features and Bluetooth connectivity allow users to stream audio directly from their phone, television and devices while AI helps the device learn your own personal hearing preferences over time.

Traditional Hearing Aids vs. Osseointegrated Device

Traditional hearing aids work well for many people with hearing loss. However, if you have conductive or mixed hearing loss, your provider may recommend an osseointegrated device instead.

Traditional Hearing Aids

Traditional hearing aids amplify sound and send it through the ear canal. They are best for those with sensorineural hearing loss. They come in various adjustable styles to fit individual needs.

Osseointegrated Hearing Device

An osseointegrated device sends sound vibrations through the skull bone to the inner ear, bypassing the ear canal and middle ear. This option is ideal for those with conductive or mixed hearing loss. It is also recommended for individuals who cannot wear traditional devices due to ear canal issues.
