Abstract

Hearing aids improve not only the hearing, but the lives of millions. Unfortunately, far too many sufferers of hearing loss forego the benefits of hearing aids because of size and cost of the devices. To address this need, the present inventor devised hearing-aid circuit modules that use folded flexible circuits. The modules save space and reduce the cost of manufacturing hearing aids.
