> What [digital technology] cannot do is faithfully reproduce natural sound in a way that is subjectively satisfying and moving and true. There is a one-word description of that sentence, and the word is "bullshit." It might be the case that most digital hearing aids today do not reproduce sound as faithfully as older analog ones. But it is always possible to build a digital signal processing path that is audibly indistinguishable from an analog one in a double-blind test. It might cost more or require better engineers than those who currently design hearing aids, but blaming the problem on "digital technology" is utter nonsense.
