What are the functions of hearing aids?

When you are in the market for hearing aids, style and price are among the factors to consider. The main core features of the hearing aid are also factors that you need to focus on. For example, if you have tinnitus, you must choose a hearing aid that has tinnitus adaptation features. The following is a list of key features you should consider when purchasing a hearing aid.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)	Machine learning and neural networks help hearing aids learn how to understand sound and process it in a beneficial way. Many digital hearing aids include processors that can take advantage of this technology and automatically adapt sound processing and amplification to environmental sounds.	Anyone
Noise reduction function	Program noise reduction to eliminate reverberation, wind noise, etc., and to enhance the speech of background sounds. This partially overlaps with the AI function, but it does not automatically adapt to changing environmental sounds, nor does it integrate new data.	Anyone
Directional microphone function	While omnidirectional microphones receive sound from all directions, directional microphones receive sound from a specific direction, usually from in front of the wearer. Adaptive directional microphones can amplify the sound they capture while eliminating background noise.	People who want to use their hearing aids in a noisy social environment.
Rechargeable battery	Most hearing aids come with replaceable coin batteries, and newer models offer a rechargeable option. This means you don’t have to replace the batteries every few months. The downside is that these hearing aids may need to be recharged daily, and lithium-ion batteries don’t last as long.	Handicapped people
Bluetooth/wireless connectivity	In addition to connecting your hearing aids to your phone and controlling them through an app, the main purpose of the wireless connection is to process the audio stream. If you have an iPhone, please check the MFi (iPhone Certified) logo for your hearing aids. If you are an Android user, please check the ASHA (Android Certified) support. These protocols will allow you to project audio directly to your hearing aids, which means you can use them just like headphones.	This is a must if you are constantly on the phone chatting or answering calls.
Support for mobile application functions	All digital hearing aids come with an app for Android or IOS. The app allows you to control the settings and may also help you to contact the brand.	Young people
Remote control function	Some hearing aids use a remote control as an alternative to application control.	People who don’t want to use mobile apps to control their hearing aids
Tinnitus procedures	An optional hearing aid program that treats the wearer’s tinnitus by playing white noise or custom sounds, thereby reducing tinnitus over time. Tinnitus programs include tinnitus retraining therapy, tinnitus masking or sound therapy.	People who suffer from tinnitus
