When selecting a hearing aid, you will find you have a choice between analogue and digital. While the former may be cheaper, the latter is undoubtedly the superior technology and will bring you higher quality sound.

You may like to compare it to the sound you get on an old-style analogue tape and the one you would get on a CD.

Digital hearing aids are so named because of their use of digital signals. They can be programmed to tune sounds to suit your ears and particular form of hearing impairment.

For example, you may have it set to improve voices over sounds in the background.

Digital hearing aids are also better for getting rid of problems such as "whistling" and most of them have feedback management systems to reduce problems like this.
