Preferred Hearing Solutions

If you or anyone close to you is considering a hearing aid, your timing couldn't be better.  The digital revolution has vastly improved hearing aid features and sound quality, without increasing their size. Digital technology - the driving force behind computers, fax machines and satellite communications - has transformed our lives in ways no one could have imagined.  It's all based on the same principles that make music or videos on a compact disc (CD), digital video disc (DVD) or from an mp3 file sound so sharp, clear and distortion-free. Hearing aid manufacturers have made amazing breakthroughs in miniaturization and manufacturing that bring better-than-CD digital sound processing and advanced computerized features to even the tiniest hearing aids. This combination of technology and cosmetic appeal opens whole new worlds of hearing possibilities - whatever your age or lifestyle. Never before have digital hearing devices provided users as much comfort, speech enhancement and satisfaction as they do today.

Analog vs. Digital: Adding up the differences
Consider the capabilities of an adding machine: add, subtract, balance your checkbook.  It's useful, helpful tool.  Now imagine what you can do with a desktop computer: create documents, explore the Internet, handle accounting for an entire corporation.  Like a computer versus an adding machine, the digital hearing aid gives you complex, sophisticated processing capabilities no analog design can match.

Why do you need all this processing power in a hearing aid?  Because the sound most people want to hear better is the human voice - and the human voice is one of the most complex sounds in the world.  Digital hearing aids give you unsurpassed power to handle the qualities of the human voice.  Digital hearing instruments give you more of this processing power than any analog hearing aid on the market today.

Satisfaction
Precise control of sophisticated sound processing means your hearing healthcare professional at Preferred Hearing Solutions can do more to satisfy your needs. A digital hearing instrument should improve the hearing and understanding of human speech while preventing loud sounds from exceeding your level of tolerance.

Investment Protection
Most digital hearing instruments can be readjusted at any time, in case your hearing needs change. The digital hearing aid can be reprogrammed right in your hearing healthcare professional's office at Preferred Hearing Solutions.

Comfortable Listening
A digital hearing aid helps you hear quiet sounds - and responds instantly to protect you from the discomfort of overly loud sounds. This eliminates the need for annoying controls on the hearing aid. Some digital hearing aids continuously monitor for "steady state" noise, and when detected, automatically reduce those noises for enhanced comfort for the wearer.

Eliminate or Reduce Whistling
Since the "whistling" in hearing aids is caused by acoustic feedback, some of the newer digital hearing aids have feedback cancellation circuits that eliminate or reduce the "whistling" without sacrificing the ability to hear speech and other sounds. Some of the new feedback cancellation systems are delivering significantly more amplification without "whistling" than ever before.

Better-than-Audio-CD Digital Processing
A digital hearing instrument delivers exceptional sound quality.

Hear What You Want to Hear
Some digital hearing aids continuously monitor for speech-like sounds, and enhance those sounds above other sounds. This type of processing increases the ability to understand speech in a noisy environment.

5th and 6th Generations Now Available!
The 5th and 6th generations of digital hearing aids are now available and have even more capability in improving hearing or understanding than their predecessors. The noise suppression is better, frequency shaping for individual hearing losses is more finite and other advanced capabilities, such as conducting hearing tests through the hearing aids, and other tools for a better electronic fit, have been added. One manufacturer has even developed a hearing instrument that can automatically adjust for quiet and noisy situations and can identify human speech and optimize that speech in the existing situation.
