xMEMS Creates Ultra-Tiny Speakers to Power the OTC Hearing Aid Revolution

Very interesting!

So, if I understand correctly, will we have over-the-counter hearing aids capable of covering even severe/profound losses? Maybe even self-regulating?

Wow! It will be a real revolution! Even superpower hearing aids will be less size! Cannot wait!

Looks good: what’s the current draw/life like with an actual hearing aid doing proper processing?

Is the only application with larger batteries?

Will we have all the superpowers of the XMen? :rofl: :joy:

Apparently they have already made the first hearing aid, but it doesn’t seem that small to me:

It will take time.
I read about the MEMS technology about 4-5 years ago in Silicon Chip (Australian electronics magazine) and think it has a lot of potential but thought it would have progressed further by now. Still, something I will be keeping an eye on.
