This insert receiver was not only less conspicuous but also located closer to the eardrum, so that the sound waves could produce greater effect. [...] The abbreviation dB stands for decibel, a logarithmic unit of measure that’s useful in technology but can be somewhat misleading. [...] Today’s in-the-ear hearing instruments can actually be contained entirely within the auditory canal. [...] Since the microphone and the sound transducer are separated by mere millimeters, there is a risk of feedback when the amplification is too great. [...] “In many countries, dealers are required to provide the hard-of-hearing with a choice of devices by different manufacturers,” explains Dr. Gerhard R?hrlein, in charge of research and development at S.A.T.. [...] It consisted of a battery, microphone and receiver’plus a handbag or carrying case (see poster, above). [...] Even a brand-new hearing aid battery packs only 1.6 V, and often puts out as little as 0.9 V during operation. [...] Since the 1960s, electronics have migrated into the immediate vicinity of the ear. [...] This initial design is then perfected by a technician, who can observe the model while rotating it about any axis on a display screen, to ensure that it will fit precisely within the virtual canal.

Much like the equalizer in a stereo system, the amplification of the hearing instrument can be adapted by the acoustician to the entire tonal spectrum of the individual patient’s hearing deficiency. [...] This convergence of hearing aid and wireless technology presents a new challenge, because engineers have to cram the antenna and the wireless electronics into the same space with all the other components. [...] Only subjects with the most severe degrees of hearing loss may still encounter certain limitations with in-the-ear devices. [1]
