Hi, I have been casually following a series of articles in Audio Express for a number of months. The newest hearing aids are really small ear buds that according to the articles are a far cry from stuff in the past They use really sophisticated guts to not only equalize the sound, but filter out clutter such as would exist in a crowded restaurant. They use logic and are programmable. They incorporate microprocessors. They are not yet on the market...but not too far away. Since many hearing issues are related to actual ear damage (physical damage to the tiny filaments in the ear often) the coming generation of hearing aids could well make life a lot better for folks that can afford them. I figure the cost will be mid 4 digits or more.
Good Listening
Bruce
