Abstract
In this paper, we improved the high frequency noise characteristics of the previously proposed hearing aid circuits for presbycusis, and we designed and fabricated a stereo hearing aid module. The cause of high frequency noise, which occurs in some cases in the previous circuits under high gain conditions, was analyzed through simulations. Two mute switches were added to adjust each boosting gain for right and left ears more accurately by muting the sound of the other ear when adjusting the gain of one ear in the stereo hearing aid module.
