DIGITAL HEARING AID-

Modern technology offers tremendous possibilities in terms of functionality and cost-effectiveness to surmount the inordinate difficulties faced by the hearing impaired as a result of unaffordable and substandard products based on analog technology.

The DHA-I is a low cost, highly featured Digital Hearing Aid using the ASIC technology developed by ER&DCI.  Advanced Digital Signal Processing techniques ensure superior and stable amplification characteristic over a wide dynamic range.  The Digital Volume Control eliminates the crackling and popping noise problems characteristic of conventional hearing aids.  Frequency dependent filtering finely matches the audiogram of the specific user.  The individual hearing profile is reconfigurable to accommodate hearing losses, which may occur in future.  All this high technology is made available in a remarkably low-cost, low-power package, thanks to the advanced CMOS ASIC implementation.  Working on just two AA cells, easily available along the length and breadth of our country, DHA-I accomplishes a blend of low cost of ownership and maintenance as well as superior performance over a long operating life.
