An Introduction to Today’s Digital Noise Reduction-Enabled Hearing Aids
Noise is a fact of contemporary life. From packed stadiums to restaurants to the train station,
noise is all around and can become overwhelming sometimes. For the hearing aid users, the
problem of background noise can be immense. It’s a big challenge to differentiate one sound from
the background noise. Digital noise reduction technology embedded inside hearing aids is one
approach to combating this problem. It allows the wearer to block unwanted noise and focus on
specific sounds.
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. However,
when conversing in a noisy environment,
your digital noise reduction equipped hearing
aid can tell that there is unwanted sound
present. Once your device picks up on
sounds that may interfere with your ability to
follow a conversation, it automatically lowers
the volume in the noisy channels.
While no hearing aid can completely eliminate unwanted noise, it can go a long way in reducing
the frustration brought about by trying to communicate in loud environments. Compared to hearing
aids that don’t have noise reduction technology embedded, user report better speech sounds and
improved comprehension.
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.
To make the most out of the digital noise reduction feature in your hearing aid, you might want to
consider taking some common sense steps to reduce the noise around you. In restaurants it is
usually possible to request a table in a quieter area or away from music speakers.
