The digital age has brought huge advances in technology in so many aspects of our lives, and hearing is no different. Digital development has resulted in superior, bluetooth hearing aids being easily available that:
Each hearing aid has at least one microphone, an amplifier, a receiver and a hearing aid battery (which is either replaced or rechargeable). In digital hearing aids, the amplifier acts as a computerised brain. It processes speech and audio picked up by the microphone and sends it to the receiver and into your ears, rather than simply making sounds louder like the traditional analogue hearing aids. A digital hearing aid amplifier instead, acts smartly to bring the many sophisticated layers of natural sound to life, to suit different settings, putting you in control so you enjoy them in your own personalised, individual and comfortable way.
Before the development of digital hearing aid technology, hearing aids were based on analogue technology. But what is the difference?
Analogue hearing aids | Digital hearing aids | |
---|---|---|
Sound signals | Continuous and uniform | Sophisticated layers of sound |
Ability to adapt to different sound environments | No – can only turn up the volume | Yes – sound signals vary and are individual |
Background noise reduction | No | Yes |
Natural-sounding speech | No | Yes |
Can be customized to suit your hearing loss | No | Yes |
Can pair and stream sound with other devices | No | Yes |

“Great service from Shane. Very helpful. I would definitely recommend a visit to him if you have any hearing problems.”
“A big thank you to Katie for testing and supplying hearing aids for me. Best thing I’ve ever done! It was a great service, great after-care, and nothing was too much trouble.”
“I recently had a tricky hearing problem. Nicole quickly identified the problem and how to fix it. She was friendly and professional. A great experience and she went well over and above the call of duty.”
“I have tried 4 different types of hearing aids in the past, but none came close to the Starkey hearing aids Conor fitted for me. So many helpful features. I am able to listen to the TV, group conversations and converse on the phone with ease. Just a vast improvement to my everyday life. Thank you!”
“Huge thanks for a great experience when I had hearing aids fitted. Your patience, caring, and time taken with me was exceptional. Your lovely, cheeky personality made all the difference to me and put me at ease. Good to know that I can contact you anytime and very convenient to have your hearing aid clinic in my local opticians. Thank you.”
“Just had a wonderful customer service experience with your Audiologist, Ciara, in your Newry, Co Down clinic. A relatable, understanding and very professional audiologist. I will be recommending Ciara and her service far and wide. Thank you so much for a very positive experience.”
“Nicole is a genius. After she ‘hoovered’ my ears for wax yesterday, I came home and listened to my astonishing hi-fi, and it was like having an upgrade. And a lot cheaper than getting a new hi-fi!!”
