New Removable Hearing device for SSD being developed

excerpt from the site above...

SoundBite hearing system is the world's first and only non-surgical and removable hearing solution designed to imperceptibly transmit sound via the teeth to help people who are essentially deaf in one ear regain spatial hearing ability and rejoin the conversation of life. It employs a well-established principle called bone conduction to deliver clear, high quality sound to the inner ear. Nearly invisible when worn, the SoundBite system consists of an easy to insert and remove ITM (in-the-mouth) hearing device – which is custom made to fit around either the upper left or right back teeth – and a small microphone unit worn behind the ear. No modifications to the teeth are required.

Funny you should mention this new device  :)

A couple of our Forum members have actually been testing it - and we've been debating it for a few months now.  Here's a link you might find helpful http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?topic=10753.0

Sounds like it might be a very promising option for some.

Best,

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
