What does it mean when we say that hearing aids come in different technology levels?

All hearing aid manufacturers offer varying levels of technology.  It is a standardized system of 3 to 5 technology levels at different price points.  As you go up in technology levels, you are unlocking new features in the hearing aids that can help you in more difficult listening situations like church, restaurants and other social events.
 
Common features that are unlocked include:

  • Improved noise reduction
  • Improved directionality
  • Accelerometer integration
  • Wireless communication between hearing aids
  • AI and machine learning features
  • Improved microphone input levels
  • Wind Management
Come visit us at the Hearing Institute of Ontario to discuss which technology level is best suited to your hearing loss and lifestyle needs.

At the Hearing Institute of Ontario, your hearing health is important to us.
