The hearing aids must be fully programmable, have a minimum of 16 channels, and three or more programs. They must also have adaptive directional microphone technology, adaptive signal processing, and noise reduction strategies. The Government is looking for actual manufacturers, not resellers or pass-throughs. The hearing aids must meet specific technical requirements, including average total harmonic distortion and equivalent input noise level.
