Can they all be made using digital circuits?
All of theses styles of hearing aids can be made using technology such as digital, programmable circuits. Digital instruments have many advantages to both the audiologist and the user, but often increase the cost of the instrument. For this reason, the audiologist and the patient should reach this decision together. Hearing loss and lifestyles are as unique as individuals. One style and/or technology may work for one person but not for the next. It is important that you know enough about your hearing loss and the hearing aid options available to participate in the decision-making process. By working in partnership with your audiologist, you will increase your chances that the hearing aid you select will match your individual needs and will fit comfortably into your life.
