   Or as a covert DIY hearing aid ..   
      
   The future is going to see them rather prominent and fashionable like   
   eyewear, and additionally integrated with the music/phone (possibly that   
   made the user deaf in the first place[1]).   
      
   On that subject, like a prescription for glasses, is there a written   
   standard of writing one for hearing aids?   
      
   With the rip-off shameful high cost of some of these (thousands) praying   
   on folks that want them so covert, surely a home build DSP project   
   (opensource?) is possible with knowledge of the right parameters? or use   
   of a cheaper Generic device for sale?
