Abstract: A method includes receiving a data at a hearing aid during operation of the hearing aid and selectively updating a hearing aid profile in response to receiving the data to produce a modified hearing aid profile. The method further includes applying the modified hearing aid profile using a processor of the hearing aid to shape an audio output.

Abstract: A hearing aid includes a microphone to convert audible sounds into sound-related electrical signals and a memory configured to store a plurality of hearing aid profiles. Each hearing aid profile has an associated audio label. The hearing aid further includes a processor coupled to the microphone and to the memory and configured to select one of the plurality of hearing aid profiles. The processor applies the one of the plurality of hearing aid profiles to the sound-related electrical signals to produce a shaped output signal to compensate for a hearing impairment of a user. The processor is configured to insert the associated audio label into the shaped output signal. The hearing aid also includes a speaker coupled to the processor and configured to convert the shaped output signal into an audible sound.

Abstract: Seam tape applicator includes a frame which holds a roll of seam tape and is supported by two pressure rollers from the front and rear of the frame. A tensioning plate applies pressure against the roll of seam tape to maintain proper tension on the seam tape as it is applied. A guide bar extends forwardly from the front of the seam tape applicator to indicate the location of the seam tape as it is being applied.
