摘要：
OBJECTIVE: To review the recent innovations in hearing aid technology. STUDY DESIGN: Review of the literature. SETTING: Private tertiary referral otology/neurotology practice. RESULTS: Recent innovations including digital signal processing (DSP), directional microphone technology, and open mold hearing aid fitting have resulted in improved satisfaction with current hearing aids. CONCLUSION: Current hearing aid technology with its innovations better meet needs of individuals who are hard of hearing. SIGNIFICANCE: The image commonly held of hearing aids by the general public is a negative one that can be improved with greater education.
