How do digital hearing aids work?

Modern, digital hearing aids work by amplifying sound via a three-component system:

  1. Microphone – Receives the sound waves and converts them into electrical signals
  2. Amplifier – Increases the strength of the sound signals and sends them to the ear 
  3. Receiver/speaker - Converts the amplified electrical signal into sound and delivers it into the ear canal

Digital hearing aids automatically adjust the volume and listening programs based on the environment.
