What it means as far as hearing aids are concerned is that the sounds coming into the hearing aid are converted into a format that can be adjusted by a computer chip. This occurs in real-time. In other words the computer chip inside the digital hearing aids is constantly making adjustments to the sound. The best comparison that can be made is to cameras. In the past when cameras were really large, even the ones that were hand held. This was because you had all these parts on the inside that were needed to make the camera work.

When cameras became digital they became much smaller as all the "working parts" are basically inside a small computer chip. Think of all the mobile phones with cameras in them! Hearing aids are the same. The computer chip inside digital hearing aids allows them to be easily adjusted by your audiologist. It also gives the hearing aid many more capabilities without increasing the size. This is why on many digital hearing aids you have several listening modes, automatic volume control, and even automatic feedback reduction, in case the hearing aid squeals. Digital hearing aids are also called 100% Digital hearing aids and are the highest quality available instruments on the market today.
