Shared software platform
All our
fully digital hearing instruments share the same, patented software-based technology, with its unprecedented
versatility and sound processing power. And both the Danavox and ReSound lines include the most sophisticated
digitally programmable technology available in non-digital hearing instruments: multi-band, full dynamic
range compression.
The advantages of digital technology are well accepted. Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Jürgen Kiessling, of the HNO Clinic at the Justus-Liebig University in Giessen, Germany comments that:
"The biggest advantage of digital technology in hearing instruments compared with analog technology is that digital technology allows more sophisticated signal processing strategies in the hearing instrument. The most common complaint of the hard-of-hearing population is that they don't have good communication ability in noisy environments or in group conversations. It's particularly in those situations that digital technology will be able, and is already able to provide better benefits to people. One of the major advantages of digital technology is the use of a digital feedback suppression system which can not be realized with analog technology."
