Navigating loud environments is difficult for everyone, especially if you have hearing loss.<\/a> While any hearing aid can help, devices equipped with digital noise reduction (DNR) technology can provide users with the best listening experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Are Noisy Places Hard for People With Hearing Loss? <\/h2>\n\n\n

Hearing loss makes it harder to understand speech, especially in noisy environments. So, when you\u2019re walking down a busy sidewalk or celebrating at a large family get-together, it can become impossible to clearly hear the voices of those you are with over all the additional sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All hearing aids<\/a> make it easier to hear in these louder environments, but those with DNR technology perform even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Digital Noise Reduction Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hearing aids amplify sounds. That’s what we want them to do! However, amplifying all sounds equally can be an issue in louder environments. Think about when you’re out for dinner with your spouse or friends at The Barley Hound. You want to be able to focus on what your dining companions are saying and not have their voices be at the same volume as dishes clanking, other patrons talking or live music playing in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your hearing aids have digital noise reduction technology, they are able to automatically reduce background noise while at the same time amplifying the speech of those you are with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can do this because they are able to distinguish sound waves from speech from those created by other noises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing Aids With DNR Technology Helps You Stay Connected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Research has made it clear that hearing aid users find digital noise reduction technology to be an excellent and valuable tool<\/a> that improves their listening experience in louder environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better hearing leads to a renewed confidence in your ability to communicate and positively affects your life both at work and at home. More importantly, being able to socialize with others allow you to stay connected to your loved ones, as well as forge new meaningful relationships with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having strong social connections leads to better moods, benefits your physical and mental health and improves your overall quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
