This is a more affordable option to enhance the

hearing of a hearing-impaired person. It is not a substitute for
a genuine hearing aid prescribed by an audiologist. Medical-
grade hearing aids are quite expensive. Continuous exposure
to loud noises can result in hearing loss. The circuit we
propose could be helpful for certain types of hearing loss for
occasional use, as well as to bridge the average waiting time
for people to acquire a hearing aid.
 Before explaining the functioning
principle of the entire circuit, it's
interesting to know that I took advantage of the availability of
computer micro-amplifiers on the market to use their built-in
audio amplifier to assemble my hearing aid. The total cost is quite
affordable and easy to build up .
The circuit requires only the enclosure on the left where the audio
amplifier and external buttons are located. No need for the right one.

 This low-cost electronic circuit operates with 3V or +5V DC. The integrated
circuit IC1 LM328 and the associated components constitute the preamplifier for the
audio signal captured by the electret microphone, transmitted to input 2 and converted
into electrical signals. Output 1 drives the input 7 of IC2 TDA2822M (green line), whose
output 3 is connected to the earpiece, see the circuit diagram. Finally, connect the power
supply +3 or 5V to 220V. It's a switching power supply available on the market and not
very expensive.

 The medium-power amplifier section is built around
the popular audio amplifier integrated circuit TDA2822M.
This integrated circuit, IC2, specially designed for low-power
portable applications, is readily available in an 8-pin mini
DIP package. Here, the integrated circuit is wired to drive the
general monophonic 32-ohm headphone. The audio output
of this hearing aid circuit is 10 to 15 mW, and the idle current
consumption is less than 1 mA. The circuit can be easily
assembled on a mounting board. For convenient assembly
and maintenance, use two integrated circuit sockets, a 4-pin
DIP for LM358, and an 8-pin DIP for TDA2822M.
 Upon opening the enclosure, ensure that you disconnect and set aside
the pre-existing speaker.
 Use hot glue to secure the preamplifier, the power supply and the
microphone which is inside the enclosure.
 Use a good quality mono earpiece.
