When choosing a hearing instrument, one of your primary goals is to better hear what people are saying to you. To this end, you will want to outfit your hearing instrument with features that reduce background noise. One component to consider is a directional microphone which reduces noise from the sides and the back of a listener and prioritizes sounds directly in front of the user. To further enhance the speech of conversation partners, it also helps to select an instrument with wide dynamic range compression to increase the volume of softer sounds over louder atmospheric and background noise. Wind noise managers which filter out sounds created by blowing wind, can also make conversation easier to understand. Modern hearing instruments are highly sophisticated and are intended to help assist with communication. Having a good understanding of their benefits as well as their limitations will help with a successful fitting for amplification. To schedule a consultation, please call BETTER HEARING CENTER .
