  • Hearing aid with integrated retrieval line and volume control
    Patent number: 5835606
    Abstract: A line is secured to the rotor of a potentiometer which serves as the volume control for a Completely In the Canal ("CIC") hearing aid. The patient can change the volume of the aid by rotating the line and can remove the aid from the ear canal by pulling on the line. By mounting the line on the potentiometer, more space is freed up on and in the hearing aid housing and the patient can change the volume without removing the aid from the ear canal.
