Loud and clear

My hearing aids are a miracle of miniaturisation.

 

If the part that goes behind the ear is small, the receiver in the ear is tiny. This subject easily qualifies for the criteria this week which is "less than an inch".

 

Normally the receiver has a silicone dome fitted with open slots to let natural sounds through. I took it off for the photo.

 

The white part at the end is called a "Cerustop". Its job is to prevent ear wax from getting inside the receiver. Replacing the Cerustop when it is blocked costs pennies - a lot cheaper than replacing the receiver. .
