Basic analog: This conventional technology amplifies all sounds equally. Your audiologist sets the amplification level, though it can be adjusted later. Loud sounds might require you to manually turn down the volume on your hearing aid. Basic analog is the least expensive technology. Analog hearing aids are slowly being phased out.
Programmable analog: The programmability of this technology means that your audiologist can adjust these sounds to amplify sounds differently. Some of the programmable analog hearing aids allow you to have multiple settings. These aids are being replaced by more flexible digital instruments.
Digital hearing aids: With this type of technology, a computer chip converts the incoming sound into a digital code, then analyzes and adjusts the sound based on your hearing loss and listening needs. The signals are converted back into sound waves and delivered to your ears. The result is sound that's more finely tuned to your hearing loss.
