 MOTIVATION

If we take any hearing aids, the main issue in it will be based on

the frequency of the sound heard by using that aids. The issue may be due to
the noisy sound or sound with the low frequency. Our main objective of our
project will be making the sound heard from the aid as more clean and clear.
The aids which are used now may create a huge noise or a very less amount
of sound. A noisy sound may create more problem to the ears of the people
who are wearing the aids. But our project will make the sound created more
clear. When the sound signal reached to the aids are very less, then the aid
will amplify the sound signal and makes the sound as clear. When the sound
produced is at high frequency, the frequency will be reduced and send it to
the persons ear.
 OBJECTIVE

 This project is mainly developed to reduce the issues produced by the other
aids due to the frequency of the sound.
 The frequency produced by the this sound will be relevant to the normal
frequency which can be heard by a normal person, so that the sound heard
can be clean and clear.

 2.DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
OF HEARING AID DEVICE

 The base paper is about construction of hearing aid device with pre-
amplifier.
 The audio amplification is done by TDA 2822M IC which converts the
acoustic signal into audio signal by headphones.
 The pre amplification process is done by using condenser microphone.
 The signal is further amplified and converted to sound by a transducer.
