Hearing Aid Products
AHPI provides hearing aids for hearing impaired adult individuals for any activity. We are able to offer excellent digital technology at better prices today than we were able to offer analog hearing aids just a few years ago!
Analog or Digital?
All hearing aids—both analog and digital—are designed with a microphone, amplifier, and receiver (or speaker). The microphone picks up the sound which is processed, amplified, and delivered to the receiver from where it enters the ear canal...and onward to the brain.
Basically, analog hearing aids increase the volume across all frequencies, increasing noise volume as well as speech sounds. Adding potentiometers allows for limited adjustment only.
Digital hearing aids can perform much more complex functions across the various frequencies. They contain minute computer chips that convert sound into coded signals. They can reduce extraneous background noise and be programmed to your particular hearing loss at various frequencies, which customizes your aids to your hearing needs in various hearing environments. They afford clearer sound quality and listening comfort, and allow the reduction of feedback in various situations such as chewing, talking, etc.
Because the industry is moving away from analog circuitry, many manufacturers no longer supply analog hearing aids.
Digital hearing aids:
- allow you to distinguish the important sounds needed to understand speech.
- allow adjustment across all the frequencies, where needed, so that noise is not amplified over speech.
- allow for background noise reduction and wind reduction.
- can be programmed for different situations, such as listening to music, hearing in crowds, hearing in quiet, etc.
- come from ADHI with 1 channel up to 20 channels.
- that are digital power aids as well.
- range from very basic (priced similarly to analog aids) to premium digital aids.
Analog hearing devices:
- may not allow you to distinguish the important sounds needed to understand speech.
- raise the volume across all the frequencies, the lows and the highs as well.
- amplify noise as well as speech, causing distortion, making speech difficult to understand.
- result in many owners putting their aids in the drawer; they hate wearing them because they can't hear well using them.
- are being eliminated by many manufacturers
- cost as much, sometimes more, than the newer basic digital circuits.
The best of both worlds for hearing impaired folks who have worn analog aids for years:
The new digital instruments have a linear—more analog type—setting provided by the manufacturers for those who have worn analog hearing aids for several years. It's what one's brain is used to. This setting is helpful for those who are upgrading from analog to digital hearing aids. It allows for a smooth transition from one technology to the other.
