A standard/analog hearing aid contains a linear or compression circuit with a set prescription level. Today, compression circuits are most commonly used because they can amplify soft sounds while keeping the loud sounds from being uncomfortably loud. Linear circuits amplify all sounds equally and are sometimes too loud in noisy environments. Most standard aids come with a volume control wheel and a telecoil (telephone) switch.
