Introducing Digital Noise Reduction-Enabled Hearing Aids
Noise is a reality of modern life. From packed stadiums to
restaurants to the train station, noise is all around and can become
overwhelming at times. People who use hearing aids are
particularly sensitive to this problem as it becomes difficult to
differentiate between meaningless noise and important sound.
Thanks to digital noise reduction, however, many hearing aid
wearers are able to block out unwanted noise and concentrate on
the things they are most interested in hearing.
Conversational speech and meaningless noise follow different sound patterns, which digital noise
reduction technology is able to pick up on. If a person is talking to you in a quiet room, the device
knows that the signals it is picking up are speech signals. Walk into a crowded and noisy room
and the hearing aid equipped with digital noise reduction immediately knows that unwanted noise
is present. If the device picks up on noise that may impact your ability to hear someone speaking,
it automatically turns down the volume in the noisier channels.
Don’t expect that all background noise will be eliminated. No hearing aid can do that. However,
the digital noise reduction feature does help improve communications quite a lot in noisy areas.
People who use this feature tend to find that background noise becomes less overpowering while
speech patterns become easier to hear and understand.
Digital noise reduction technology works best when the background noise it is combating is fairly
constant. This means that steady sounds such as an air conditioner or engine running are more
effectively blocked than dynamic music or a nearby conversation.
Users may wish to consider utilizing other noise reduction strategies in conjunction with their
digital noise reduction capable hearing aid. If dining in a crowded restaurant, for example,
consider asking to be seated in a quieter part of the room or request that the music playing
overhead be turned down.
While no hearing aid technology can give you perfect hearing, digital noise reduction can take
much of the annoyance out of dealing with noisy situations.
