caslpo audc audlotoglst digital noise reduction while digital noise reduction dnr has become a standard feature in many new hearing- instruments over the past few years evidence of its value has largely remained anecdotal that is many wearers have attested to dnrs ability to improve speech understanding reduce irritating background noise andor render the hearing experience more comfortable
