Vibrosonic - A revolutionary invention that takes hearing aids to the next...10

According to the World Health Organization, over 5% of the world’s population – or 430 million people – require rehabilitation to address their ‘disabling’ hearing loss. ...

Thanks for this. Had not seen that article. Very interesting.

Free trials available for current hearing aid users in a few German cities. Sounds great (boom tish), but any new hearing tech always does (or can be made to). Hearing loss is great for developing cynicism.

This looks very exciting. But it seems users still get a dome plugged in, so I guess the benefit comes from elsewhere than wearing comfort.

Obviously many questions come to mind:

• up to what loss level are they suitable? Do they also cover deep losses?
• from what I understand, the disk is fixed to the eardrum by an ear doctor: how do you proceed to clean the earwax?
• the ear doctor fixes that disk, but then you have to go to an audiologist for the adjustment? Or is it possible to do it yourself?

However, this seems like an initial project which should be followed by a device completely inside the ear canal, with XMEMS technology: we are waiting for news.
