The various speech signals received by the hearing aid are dynamically compressed and processed separately,
the more channels, the better the sound processing effect.
When we talk about hearing aids, we often mention "channels" and "frequency". Some people get excited when they hear that hearing aids have dozens of channels, while others are completely confused about these two terms. So, do you know how many channels are the best for hearing aids? Do you know the difference between "channel" and "frequency band"?
Before discussing channels, first we need to clarify a concept - channels are not frequency! Hearing aids have a single or multiple frequency, which are used to manage the amplification of sound. Everyone has a different listening experience, and you may need to play your voice louder than others to hear comfortably. The more frequency a hearing aid has, the more likely it is that the sound can be adjusted high or low.
And channels are about recognizing sound. Let's give an exaggerated example, such as the barking of a dog. Each hearing aid has a sound amplification range, and as long as the barking sound falls within this range, the hearing aid will amplify and transmit it into your ear. If you are talking to someone at this time, the barking of a dog will distract your attention. Isn't this sudden interference very annoying? If your hearing aid has multiple channels, even if the barking sound falls within the amplification range, the channel will determine it as a sound that does not need amplification, and you can still focus on your conversation and communication.
To summarize in a simple sentence, the channel determines which sounds need to be amplified; The frequency band determines the degree to which the sound is amplified.
