AIM: to design digital behind-the-ear hearing aids built from standardized components coming from the very supply chain of these manufacturers. STUDY DESIGN: experimental. MATERIALS AND METHODS: to identify the supply chain of these manufacturers, request samples and set up hearing aids in the laboratory. RESULTS: The developed hearing aids did not show lesser electroacoustic characteristics when compared to those acquired by the Government, also being tested by the same reference international technical standard. CONCLUSION: It is possible to develop digital behind-the-ear hearing aids based on off-the-shelf components from hearing aid manufacturers' supply chain. Their advantages include low operational costs - for acquisition (with clear advantages for the Government) and service (advantage for the patient). |
