[New developments in hearing aid technology].
The last decade has seen numerous and significant improvements in hearing aid technology. Digital hearing aids are becoming increasingly common and have already replaced a considerable portion of the hearing aids using the older analogue technology. Efficient noise reduction methods, most notably multi-microphone systems for hearing aids, can increase speech intelligibility in adverse listening situations and noisy environments. Accessories, such as e.g. wireless classroom communication systems (FM systems) and remote controls are becoming smaller and less visible. As a consequence of the increased complexity of modern hearing aids, however, hearing aid fitting has become considerably more complex.
