Why do hearing aids amplify so much noise and make sounds too loud?
Remember, when you had normal hearing there were still times when background noise was a problem. However, there are research findings that demonstrate digital hearing aids with particular circuit and microphone options can effectively reduce background noises. In most 100% digital hearing aids, the noise control features help make noise more tolerable, but do not completely eliminate the noise. Our goal is not to eliminate the noise, but instead, make speech more audible in the presence of noise.
