Intended purpose
A battery-powered acoustic device intended to compensate for impaired hearing by transmitting amplified sound waves to the eardrum through air. It typically consists of a miniature microphone, amplifier, and speaker (receiver) in a case that fits the ear canal [in-the-canal (ITC)] or in a case nearly hidden in the ear canal [completely-in-the-canal (CIC)].
