After further research I discovered that hearing aids are not as good as some people make them out to be, as the article why things suck: Hearing aids (2008), explains, that the problems are with the microphone, the processor and the battery of the hearing aids. The microphone, this article suggests that it picks up all sound coming from all directions, to a service user this could be come irritating, and confusing, if this is the case it will be hard for the user to focus in on the sounds they need to hear. In a health and social care setting this could become difficult if a hearing impaired person is in a hospital, they may find the professionals voice hard to hear while background noise is happening. If this was to happen the communication would not be effective, as the service user will not be able to hear all the information and therefore wouldn’t understand what was going on. This relates to argyle’s communication cycle, the cycle is made up of six stages: idea occurring, message

Another example, people with hearing disability may use hearing aids. They are battery-powered electronic devices with small microphones to pick up and increase the volume of sound received by a person. Also, text phones, relay systems and minicoms may be used for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

The digital hearing aid was a very big step for people with hearing disabilities. It provided a more comfortable way to help and improve the hearing of people (“30 Years/30 Devices : 1979 : The 1980s : The 1990s : The 2000s : Older Technologies.”). Also in this time, a safety mechanism was invented to be put in needles and syringes.

There are many things that people in the hearing world take for granted every day, such as verbal communication, using a telephone or something as simple as the feeling you get when your favorite song comes on the radio. To a person that has been completely immersed in the deaf community, it may be easy to view the sense of sound as unnecessary. As a member of the haring community it would seem nearly impossible to live a day without sound. Cochlear implants are devices that help a person who is deaf gain hearing to some degree, and in some cases nearly full hearing. This new technology has become very controversial throughout both the hearing, and the deaf world.

Deafness or hard of hearing, is defined by the medical society as a disability, but those who are diagnosed with the disability think otherwise. They think of themselves as a community, embrace it as an identity, or a culture with their own language, sign language, and they believe their community is being threaten. They label themselves as a minority endangered of being wiped out because of one leading cause, cochlear implants. Those serious about their ideals of their community see cochlear implants as a threat, because cochlear implants are considered as cure. Countless number of controversies over cochlear implants have been brought up, but the Deaf community should see cochlear implants as gift for patients rather than an extreme threat.

could you imagine a world where you aren’t able to hear a sound? Well, for hundreds of thousands of people this is unfortunately their reality. However, with advances in technology people are now able to hear for the first time and let me tell you, that’s certainly music to my ears. A new piece of medical technology known as the cochlear implant is a life changer that helps the deaf to live a normal life.

Advancements in Information Technology have now made it possible to restore hearing to the profoundly deaf by inserting a prosthetic device called the Bionic Ear (also known as the Cochlear Implant) in an individual’s inner ear. The Bionic Ear technology is an example of design and innovation combined with information processing, software design and development. Since it was first invented, technology advancements proceeded on a parallel track in terms of miniaturisation and increasing sophistication of this Bionic Ear technology. This particular technology operates by delivering electrical stimuli to the auditory nerve which then triggers auditory

I decided to analyze the customer base pertained to the VINCI Smart Hearable. The targeted customer for this product consists of companies that sell electronic devices and components such as Radio Shack and Best Buy, as well as direct users who may purchase products offline rather than in a large electronic store. The value gained from the VINCI includes a more convenient experience when utilizing headphones due to its function of tailoring itself while adapting to its user. The customers age would most likely range from 10-33 years of age as young children and elderly adults tend to utilize more intermediate forms of headphones for simple purposes, while middle-aged citizens tend to portray their lifestyle through clothing and designer products.

Changing the landscape of the market, affordable hearing aids featuring recent price bubbles that may occur during the distribution process, or holding half of these on the market structure, standardized hearing aids utilizing patented technology solves the emergence of a national hearing aid company. They try to lower prices, while maintaining quality. NICS(New Industrializing countries) such as Korea, Hongkong, Brazil, Maxico, China and more have great technique and funds, therefore they are great potential threat on its market.
