Programmable hearing aids can have their response (sound) changed in the dispenser's office rather than sending it back to the factory. If you need more power, a change in frequencies, or other changes, the hearing aid fitter can plug a cord into your hearing aid and modify it on the spot. Some programmable hearing aids are analog, not digital.
A digitally programmable hearing aid may still be analog, not digital. The first use of digital technology in hearing aids was to use a digital function to change the sound of the hearing aid. These hearing aids are often still analog hearing aids; they just use digital programming to make changes to the sound. A hearing aid that is truly a digital hearing aid is referred to as "DSP", for digital signal processing.

These aids also offer cosmetic and listening advantages and are typically used for adults.
