Popular features in digital hearing aids
360-degree sound experience
One of the latest technological advancements in digital hearing aids, this feature can give you access to the relevant sounds around you (including speech). This benefit puts you in charge of which sounds you want to focus on.
Brainhearing technology
The latest digital hearing aids from Oticon support the brain’s natural process of making sense of sound by allowing the brain to hear in the most natural way possible.
Feedback reduction
Digital hearing aids can stop this annoying whistling sound before it occurs so that there is no potential feedback that can interrupt speech understanding and communication.

The tinnitus masking feature in digital hearing aids offers a wide range of customizable tinnitus relief sounds that are dynamic, yet soothing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Many digital hearing aids can easily be connected to all your favorite devices, allowing your hearing aids to be used as wireless headphones.

How do digital hearing aids work?
Modern, digital hearing aids work by amplifying sound via a three-component system:
- Microphone – Receives the sound waves and converts them into electrical signals
- Amplifier – Increases the strength of the sound signals and sends them to the ear
- Receiver/speaker - Converts the amplified electrical signal into sound and delivers it into the ear canal
Digital hearing aids automatically adjust the volume and listening programs based on the environment.
