Unprecedented breakthroughs have been made in the field of\u00a0hearing aids in the past 10 years, particularly in technology. Among the major improvements made are those\u00a0concerning the sound quality and performance of hearing aids in noisy\u00a0situations. Here is a summary of the main technologies available from\u00a0most hearing aid manufacturers.<\/p>\n
Noise reducers
\n<\/b>This technology reduces discomfort from ambient sounds\u00a0without affecting\u00a0your ability to understand.<\/p>\n
Directional microphones (automatic or not)<\/b><\/p>\n
These microphones filter out sounds from the side or behind\u00a0the user so that he or she can better understand the person\u00a0speaking in front of him or her. Some models feature directional\u00a0microphones that can automatically\u00a0move from one speaker\u00a0to another in a 360\u00b0 circle (in front, behind, beside).<\/p>\n
Frequency compression
\n<\/b>This development makes it possible to hear high sounds like\u00a0birdsong, children\u2019s voices or the doorbell.<\/p>\n
Anti-feedback (anti-whistling)
\n<\/b>This feature eliminates whistling, which makes wearing\u00a0hearing\u00a0aids more enjoyable.<\/p>\n
Suppression of reverberation
\n<\/b>This addition reduces the echo effect present in some\u00a0environments\u00a0like reception halls and places of worship.<\/p>\n
Water resistant
\n<\/b>Some hearing aids are designed to provide superior water\u00a0resistance. However, it is never recommended to wear your\u00a0hearing aids while taking a shower or when swimming underwater.\u00a0Water resistance is mainly to protect the aids from\u00a0splashing water like rain or perspiration.<\/p>\n
Hearing aid synchronization
\n<\/b>When a sound is detected by one hearing aid, from a telephone\u00a0for example,\u00a0the signal is automatically sent to the other ear,\u00a0greatly improving\u00a0the sound quality of your hearing.<\/p>\n
Relieving tinnitus
\n<\/b>Certain instruments were specially designed for people\u00a0suffering from tinnitus. These devices can help relax and\u00a0reduce the effects of tinnitus, making it less bothersome.<\/p>\n
Sound quality
\n<\/b>Music lovers have not been left out! There are several highly\u00a0developed systems that provide a pleasing listening experience.\u00a0In all cases, an assessment by an audioprosthetist is strongly\u00a0recommended, to determine which technologies fit your\u00a0needs best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
