Small and portable unit, Useful for old men and old women This low-cost, general-purpose electronic hearing aid works off 3V DC (2x1.5V battery). The circuit can be easily assembled on a veroboard. For easy assembling and maintenance, use an 8-pin DIP IC socket for TDA2822M. Circuit Diagrams: A Low Cost hearing Aid Schematic Parts: P1 = 10K R1 = 2.2K R2 = 330K R3 = 680R R4 = 33R R5 = 100R R6 = 4.7R R7 = 4.7R R8 = 220R C1 = 0.01uF-10V C2 = 100nF-63V C3 = 47uF-10V C4 = 10uF-10V C5 = 0.01uF-10V C6 = 100uF-10V C7 = 100nF-63V C8 = 100nF-63V D1 = Red LED Q1 = BC547 IC1 = TDA2822M EP1 = Mono Earphone 32R SW1 = On-Off Switch Circuit Operation: In this circuit, transistor Q1 and associated components form the audio signal preamplifier for the acoustic signals picked up by the condenser microphone and converted into corresponding electrical signals. Resistor R5 and capacitor C3 decouple the power supply of the preamplifier stage. Resistor R1 biases the internal circuit of the low-voltage conden...
