Of equal importance
to the choice of hearing aid style, is the choice
of hearing aid technology. Generally, advanced
technology has been designed for greater speech
clarity, improved hearing in the presence of
background noise and flexibility of use in a
variety of different listening situations. More
advanced hearing aids also allows for greater
flexibility when fitting a hearing loss, by
providing for more frequency channels or bands.
These bands segment the frequency range of sound
into smaller units allowing for greater precision
and accuracy when fitting a hearing loss. These
channels are similar to the graphic equalizers
of your stereo systems.
