Abstract: Techniques used to selectively amplify audio signals are described in connection with audio amplification devices, such as hearing aids. A device and its operation are described to facilitate setting low and high tone/volume controls separately, using at least two selection mechanisms. In one aspect, a first selection mechanism includes a pitch frequency control rocker switch and the second selection mechanism includes a bass frequency control rocker switch disposed separately. In one aspect, the bass frequency control rocker switch causes a processor to bias the frequency response of the sound amplifier for frequencies below 1 kHz. In another aspect, the pitch frequency control rocker switch causes a processor to bias the frequency response of the hearing for frequencies above 1 kHz. In another aspect, the selection mechanism involves the separate attenuation of treble and bass adjustments in response to a user selection of a rocker switch setting for each adjustment.
