Hearing Aid Technology

Hearing at home is nothing like keeping up with a full table at Baumhower’s on a Friday night, and the technology inside your hearing aids is what bridges that gap. It works quietly in the background, sorting the sounds you want to hear from the ones you don’t. At HearSouth Audiology, we’ll help you find the technology that fits the life you actually live.

How Your Hearing Aids Help You Hear

Every feature below works toward the same goal: making the voices and sounds that matter easier to catch, wherever you happen to be. Here’s a look at what’s doing that work.

Directionality

When you turn to face someone, your hearing aids follow your lead, pulling their voice forward while easing back on whatever’s behind you.

Multidirectional Listening

Lock in on one voice, or open things up to the whole room. Multidirectional listening puts that choice in your hands and shifts the way sound comes in to match whatever the moment calls for. It’s the difference between straining to catch one person and simply hearing them.

Noise Reduction

Traffic, box fans, the low roar of a crowded diner. These sounds don’t spike and fade the way a voice does, they just sit there, and over a long day that steady drone wears you out. Noise reduction keeps it from swallowing up the voices you’re actually trying to follow. During your fitting, we’ll fine-tune these settings around the places you spend the most time, because the right balance in a quiet living room isn’t the right balance at a Sunday cookout.

Wind Reduction

An afternoon on the water shouldn’t come with a constant rush drowning out everything else. Wind reduction takes the edge off.

Automatic Adjustments

Your surroundings shift all day long, but keeping up isn’t your job. Your hearing aids read each new room and adjust on their own, so the walk from a quiet kitchen into a packed restaurant never sends you reaching up to fiddle with a setting.
