My dad has hearing loss in one ear due to someone putting olive oil in his ear when he was a kid to cure ear ache, which as anyone will tell you is the worst thing you can do as the oil perforates the eardrum, he has had an analogue aid for about 30 years and tried the digital one a couple of years ago but because he finds it easy to hide behind his deafness sometimes he wont touch a digital one even though he was offered one for free by someone he knows.
I am told that they are simply designed to boost the gain at selectable frequencies which is what the DSP does and store the setings in an eeprom, I have no idea why you need two additional asics but i very much doubt that you will find out what they do. Sorry to here your Dad has hearing loss due to home reamdy. My Dad had perfect hearing till he was 78 years old when he died. But MoM lived till 84 years old but had very bad hearing loss at 62 till she died. So Mom had hearing so bad I could not even talk to her on phone. Try get Dad use digital hearing aid as it will make a big differance in his hearing and enjoyment of people around him. You are right jez I may not find the information I want, but their's 1000's links to go though before I give up. Also enjoy your child while it young as in moment it will be old and you will be too. This is line from a song "your young for moment and then you are old". Always enjoy life and enjoy your child. Of course this off topic but this is a chat. Best of Luck, Ralph |
