Hey Ian,

How about a customized setup that is a bit different from the average "hearing aid"?

I'm thinking here about a good set of stereo earphones, coupled to an amplifier that has significant EQ control and two mics located on the headset for pickup.

Fullrange hearing boost with the ability to translate the music frequencies to areas where your hearing is best, or at least able to really boost the areas where the hearing loss lies, looking, of course, for the fundamentals of the notes at the least.

I have a sports headset like that in some respects. These were designed for hunters and outdoorsmen to wear and enjoy a full stereo set of "Wolf's ears" when out in the field. Unbelievable increase in awareness, these items are also now being used by certain police agencies and also special forces.

Imagine something like that set of Wolf's Ears, but with the sound processing abilities needed for the hearing impaired to possibly restore the ability to hear and enjoy fullrange music again?


We have the technology, as they say...
