Hearing Aids and Wind Noise

The sound of wind blowing across hearing instrument microphones has been an irritant among users for some time. When wearing hearing aids outdoors, wind noise can interfere with the user's ability to understand speech and participate in conversations...until now. Modern hearing aids now feature an automatic program that lowers the level of gain according to the speed of the wind as it blows across the microphones. This feature limits the effect of wind and improves speech understanding by as much as 40%!
