Belgian Bruno Vereecke turns 3D printed lamps into hearing aids with Absorblight
Posted by CENTURY HEARING
Over the last few years, the number of 3D printed medical innovations are growing explosively, helping people who believed that they couldn’t be helped and vastly improving the success rate of countless surgeries. However, the most unusual medical tool we’ve seen in a long time must surely be the Absorblight, a lamp developed by Antwerp, Belgium-based designer Bruno Vereecke. Instead of helping people with bad eyesight, as you might expect, this unusual lamp is actually intended for the partially deaf and hard-of-hearing people. A 3D printed hearing aid, so to speak.http://www.3ders.org/articles/20151207-belgian-bruno-vereecke-turns-3d-printed-lamps-into-hearing-aids-with-absorblight.html

Time To Clean The Wax Out Of The Hearing Aid Industry
Posted by CENTURY HEARING
A message of hope is being broadcast loud and clear to the 30 million aging Americans with hearing loss. The Food and Drug Administration and Federal Trade Commission can nudge the overly consolidated and stagnant hearing aid industry into 21st century innovation, and if they do this, options for quality hearing aids will increase and prices will drop. Older adults will no longer have to spend their time and money on expensive hearing aids they really don’t want to wear and that don’t seem to work.
