Analog and Digital Hearing Aids

Differences Between Analog and Digital Hearing Aids Differences Between Analog and Digital Hearing Aids
Hearing aids are electronic devices that pick up and amplify sound. By amplifying sound, sounds that the wearer normally would not hear are increased in volume and therefore better communicated.

The primary difference between Analog and Digital hearing aids is how the incoming sound is dealt with.

Analog hearing aids


Analog hearing aids are similar to older HIFI sound systems. The input sound was made louder by means of an amplifier and could be manually adjusted with the use of tone control (bass and treble).

Today's modern digital hearing aids offer considerably more functionality with respect to feedback control, noise reduction, automatic and adaptive features and much more for increased audibility and comfort.In general, most analog hearing technology has been discontinued or is being phased out shortly.
