ASU scientists seek better hearing aid

About 28 million Americans have difficulty hearing, and Arizona State University researchers are trying to bring that number down. The university has received a $200,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a microscale digital hearing aid that will mimic the human ear.

If the initial prototype succeeds, the NSF could give ASU additional funding - perhaps more than $1 million - to expand research and possibly develop a marketable product, the foundation said.
