Hearing aid technology

Understanding speech

If you sometimes have difficulty hearing speech, especially when there is a lot of background noise, a hearing aid that places more emphasis on speech can help you greatly.

A hearing aid with superior technology allows for better speech understanding. Indeed, the possibility of creating a contrast between speech and noise is greater.

In noisy environments this is very important! For example in a restaurant, the device will be able to detect noise, reduce it and amplify speech automatically. This characteristic is very important since the wearer's listening effort will be reduced and their concentration increased. Indeed, since the speech is clearer, the wearer will not need to concentrate as much on the person speaking.

Custom adjustments

Your hearing is unique and the level of technology affects the flexibility and precision of your adjustments.

The precision of the adjustment is directly related to the number of channels available for adjusting the device. The more channels there are available, the more precise the hearing aid fit will be for your hearing loss. We can compare the number of channels to keys on a piano. The more notes there are on a piano, the better the melody will be. For hearing aids it's the same, more channels means greater precision and flexibility of adjustment.

A higher category prosthesis has approximately 24 channels while a basic device has 3 to 6.

Automatic analysis of the sound environment

If you are someone who is active in everyday life, you will need more help from the hearing aid.

Automatic analysis of the sound environment allows the hearing aid to know what environment the wearer is in and change the adjustment in real time to the best possible program for that particular environment. Listening comfort is therefore improved.

The more efficient a hearing aid is, the more it will automatically adapt to different sound environments.

Ambient noise

If sudden noises bother you, you often go into noisy environments, or the sounds around you are tiring or distracting, higher-level hearing aids will make a big difference.
