According to my ear specialist, hearing aids (especially the digital aids) continue to improve as fast as computers do. So they continue to improve every 18 months.

He also said that he usually has to upgrade his computers that program the hearing aids in his office every 18 months or so.

The adjustments are precise and accurate. He can feed my hearing tests into the computer and it makes all the right adjustments at the click of a mouse.

In the old days of analog aids, everything had to be adjusted by hand with a small screwdriver.

My husband says he loves the 21st century because of technological advances like this. Thank you for letting us know about your hearing and about the new approaches.

Yeah, I remember those clunky old aids, believe me. They squealed all the time too. My wife grew up in Great Falls, BTW. All the best, gotta run, c-ya-round.
