Here is our latest and greatest revision to our original design. We’re aiming to make it a bit smaller yet. The device is technically an ITC (in the canal) device, with the controls located behind the ear, though it doesn’t qualify as a BTE (behind-the-ear) device.

The final revision will implement multiple memory slots so that not only can our existing replay feature work even better, but we can have a few memory slots set aside for long-term use, possibly by dumping the static RAM contents to the EEPROM. This will require a “soft” shutdown feature, but based on how reliable the device has been so far, we can likely keep it that way with a “pinhole” hard reset feature for worst-case scenarios. To top it all off, it finally “looks pretty”. See below. Cheers!

A better hearing aid, still under $10.
