Most hearing aids today are “digital” but we still occasionally come across hearing aids that are “analogue”. Analogue was the type of technology that almost all hearings aids were before the mid-to-late 1990s. So what’s the difference between “analogue” and “digital” hearing aids – and is one better than the other?

My daughter has just forwarded your circular "A special date for your diary" and I feel sad that I am not actually in England on the 17th October so will not be able to join you to celebrate the wonderful service you provide.

I should just like to take this opportunity of thanking you for all the help you have given to me since I was declared Profoundly Deaf - which I was inclined to christen Socially Unacceptable, until you introduced me to the Phonak digital aid which has literally changed my life.
