Conventional Hearing Aids
Conventional Electronic Hearing Aids:
Hearing aids which use conventional electronics have been the mainstay of the hearing aid industry for 35 years.
Conventional hearing aid electronics use basic analog Class A technology to provide quality, linear-type amplification
to patients with a wide range of hearing losses.
Class A amplifiers have as their defining feature the
characteristic of adding the same amount of amplification to all levels of sound intensity. Thus, low bass-type
sounds will be amplified with the same amount of volume as high treble sounds. For this reason, some patients may
find that conventional electronic hearing aids provide either too little sound or too much sound to comfortably reach a
listening level for the particular hearing loss. When this is the case, the patient should consider a prescription
circuit instrument of the advanced or digital technology type.
