Abstract
A hearing aid (10) and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the hearing (10) includes a body (112) that at least partially conforms to the contours of the external ear and is sized to engage therewith. Various electronic components are contained within the body (112), including an electronic signal processor (130) that is programmed with a preferred hearing range, which may be an about 10 Hz frequency to an about 30 Hz frequency range of sound corresponding to highest hearing capacity of a patient. Sound received at the hearing aid (10) is converted to the preferred hearing range prior to output.
