All three of these hearing aids contain microprocessors that perform digital filtering to customize the amplification to the wearer's hearing profile. They further dynamically adjust to reduce ambient noises. There is a tiny computer port inside the battery door that allows them to be reprogrammed as required.
The hearing aid on the upper right fits behind the ear and allows some of the ambient sound around the output hole.
The hearing aid on the upper left fits completely inside the ear and can not be seen unless some one looks directly into the ear.
The hearing aid on the lower left fits even further into the ear and can't be seen at all.
If you are shopping for a hearing aid, mystuart seems very knowledgeable and has left an informative comment bellow.

Deaths given this diagnosis are all due to HIV infection that has progressed to AIDS.
In 2002 nearly 80% of the 2.6 million deaths from AIDS occured in sub-Saharan Africa, where the disease, usually untreated, caused more than 6000 deaths every day and accounted for almost one in five of all deaths and half of the deaths of adults aged 15 to 59 years.
AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which slowly destroys the body's defences against diseases (the immune system). When this has happened you have AIDS and certain infections and certain cancers can easily develop and easily be fatal.
AIDS is spread sexually, in semen and other genital secretions, and the person's blood is also infectious. People are infectious any time after the initial infection with HIV, long before AIDS occurs, which takes on average 10 years.
In 2002 HIV/AIDS caused 4.0% of deaths in children under 15 years, 14.1% of deaths in adults aged 15 to 59 years and 9.6% of all deaths in very poor territories with low life expectancy.
HIV/AIDS caused 5.1% of all deaths worldwide in 2002 or 469 deaths per million people. This does not include deaths due to tuberculosis in people who have HIV/AIDS.

The impact of AIDS on the African continent is devastating. No where else on the planet has the virus destroyed so many lives and cast such a heavy burden. Currently over 24 million Africans are infected with the HIV virus. In Botswana, thirty-five percent of the adult population carries the virus. Sixteen states report infection rates of ten percent or higher. Fourteen million Africans have died of AIDS. By next year, the number of orphaned children whose parents have died of AIDS will reach 13 million. Any country would be strained by losing such a substantial number of its citizens, taking care of millions of orphans, and providing very expensive health care for its population. Africa's mostly poor nations are overburdened.
At the audiologist, Keisha's old hearing aids get reprogrammed as much as possible so that she can hear both her teachers at school and her classmates. The audiologist shows the program he uses on the flat screen.
