Hearing Aids

The market for hearing aids continues to grow driven by aging populations, increased in hearing loss and regulation of over the counter (OTC) hearing aids. Due to limited product size, battery life and susceptible to outside interference, the MEMS microphone is a key component that determines the quality.

Selection guide:

  • Small package size is suitable for limited product size
  • MEMS is resistant to UV light interference
  • ASIC adds filtering capacitors to avoid RF interference
