Advances in hearing aids

摘要

Netherlands-based company Ex-Silent claims its new hearing aid (pictured right) is the first which allows users to change between four different programmes by tapping on the ear. The Qleaf measures 14mm x 6.6mm x 5mm and comes with so-called "AirTAP functionality". It has a disposable soft tip, moulded by Helmbrechts in a hypoal-lergenic grade of TPE. This modular concept eliminates the need for taking ear impressions, says ExSilent.
