Chew your ear off!-Sonitus Soundbite Hearing Aid

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Rolando Cabral • 43 Comments

Have you heard the phrase “chew your ear off’? If not, it means you are talking too much about nothing  and you are chewing somebody’s ear off. Now, anybody with hearing loss can practically do that because Sonitus Medical just released their Soundbite Hearing system. Here’s what they say about it:

SoundBite Hearing System works by making innovative use of the well-established, natural principle of bone conduction – the transmission of imperceptible sound vibrations through the bones to the inner ears – to deliver clear, natural, high quality sound. Nearly invisible when worn, the SoundBite system consists of two components: an easy to insert and remove ITM (in-the-mouth) hearing device and a small BTE (behind-the-ear) microphone unit worn on the impaired ear. No dental work or modifications to the teeth are required. Both components have rechargeable batteries and a system charger is also provided.

Just a word of caution though, if your hearing suddenly diminishes or completely disappears while eating, go to the nearest emergency room before you start hearing your a$& talk (of course Sonitus will not let it happen) but who knows, anything is possible in this world.
