Index Number: 11172 [This is from the Silent Talk Conference] Hi Jack, JO> I hear that one of the major optical companies JO> is considering a hearing aid operation with JO> on-site assembly, like they are doing JO> with eyeglasses in the shopping malls. JO> One hour delivery. I've heard the same story. As I understand it, this would be for ITE's only. They would be working from some form of standard modules which could be plugged together in the same way we would switch a board(s) in our CPU's. My cursority lies with how the final mold would be created. I've not heard exactly how this will be done. My guess would be to put it all together in a standard hard shell and then just hollow out the silicone impression and presto!
