Digital hearing aids

With Bluetooth to pair to your devices

Advanced hearing aid technology

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:

Produce a richer, more natural sound
Have more functionality to sync with other devices that make your life easier and more enjoyable, like your phone, TV and computer
Are easier to use
Are smaller and more discreet
Can be programmed and maintained remotely
Can be easily adjusted to suit any change in hearing loss
Are more reliable and last for longer
Are rechargeable and don’t need batteries

How digital and Bluetooth hearing aids work

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.

Digital vs Analogue hearing aids

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

The benefits of digital hearing aids

You can customise your hearing experience to suit your hearing loss, which in turn enhances your comfort level – no more screeching in certain settings!
You can play with the tone and volume of the sounds you hear, so it sounds natural and feels completely right
You can fully connect with your world by pairing up with other digital devices you own, like your smartphone or your entertainment system, and sound will reach your ears without anyone knowing what or who you’re listening to!
Digital hearing aids are discreet and usually small so they blend in when you wear them, and are virtually invisible in use!

What our patients say

Geoff Hill

“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!!”

Alan McNiece

“Was very impressed by Ciara, her knowledge, wisdom and understanding of hearing issues was first class, put me through a full range of tests, and explained everything with thoughtfulness and kindness. Highly recommended,”

CM

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.”

RW

“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.”

Paddy Miskelly

“Myself and my wife go to see Katie most helpful explained everything in simple terms would highly recommend to anyone”

N Scott

“The advice offered by True Tone was excellent. They explained everything brilliantly and put me at my ease. Importantly, they did not make me feel self-conscious about seeking advice about my hearing and convinced me. of the benefits of exploring acquiring hearing aids. I realise that there is a link to developing dementia if a person feels cut off from conversations and social interactions if they cannot hear properly. I witnessed this in my own family and wish I could have persuaded my father to explore hearing aids. Thank you True Tone and Katie and her colleagues for their great service.”

Peter Simpson

“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.”

Stuart Dobson

“Blown away by the technology and also the knowledge of the technician. I was made to feel very important and relaxed throughout the appointment. Highly recommended”

Harry Childs

“Before meeting Shane Thompson at True Tone, I spent around £5,000 over 5 years with two leading audiologists, without any real improvement in my hearing. Shane gave me an extensive hearing test and helped cure an ongoing ear infection for me. His extreme care and attention, with my new True Tone hearing aids, has given me back a level of hearing I thought I wouldn’t have again.”
