When you decide to start shopping for digital hearing aids, you may assume that there will only be a few to choose from so your decision will be incredibly easy.
Unfortunately, if you are like many others, you have already discovered that the shopping process is nowhere near as easy as you thought it would be.
Most people are not expecting such a selection of discount hearing aids that provide some exceptional features.
Chances are good that you don't even understand what most of the features are.
Although most of the best ones will have close to the same features, they will all have small variations.
This is why it is very important to thoroughly read through features, if you are comparing two different ones.
They may look the same, but perhaps one has a feature that would really benefit you, but the other one does not.
That being said, when you start comparing digital hearing aids, it is easy to get so wrapped up in technical features that you overlook some of the basic things you are looking for.

1. Battery Life - If you live a busy lifestyle or you are always traveling and taking cruises, then a longer battery life may be important to you so you don't have to remember to charge quite so often.
   You will find that there are some that offer a long battery life of 284 hours.
   If this is not a top priority for you, then you might be just fine with discount hearing aids that have a shorter battery life of 90 hours, which is still impressive.
   
2. Environmental Memories - Not all devices have this feature so if it is something you know you can make use of then make sure you read through the features carefully.
   These memories can be specifically tailored for a variety of environments.
   For example, if you start your morning in a noisy restaurant meeting friends for breakfast every day, you will be able to create a program tailored to this environment.
   This will save you from having to fuss with adjustments when you enter and exit the building.
   
3. T-coil - This is not a feature found on all digital hearing aids because it is expensive, but if it is something you will make use of then it is worth every penny.
   Turning on this tiny antenna in most public buildings will allow you to block background noise out so you can better hear the one conversation you are interested in.
