Hearing loss causes a great impact in the patient’s life, from relationships and emotional well-being. A hearing aid is a battery-powered electronic device designed to improve hearing lossby carrying sound from the environment into your ear (for example through the canal or behind the ear). Cochlear implants, on the other hand, are small electronic devices that stimulate the cochlear nerve, and allow deaf people to receive and process sounds and speech.
NXP solutions support the next generation of electronic hearing aid designs, improving functionality and battery life of those devices.
