World's Smallest Hearing Aid- By Ausia Jones

           A Danish hearing aid company develops manufacturing process based on 3D printing. Danish technology company Widex has pioneered a discreet digital hearing aid which matches the exact dimensions of a wearer's ear canal. The patented technology is called CAMISHA (Computer Aided Manufacturing of Individual Shells for Hearing Aids.). Widex, one of the globe's largest hearing aid companies, developed its first model in 1956. Back then, it came with its own battery pack and had to be strapped to the chest. They have been getting smaller ever since.

Analysis: I think that it's great that hearing aids is getting smaller. These hearing aids are so small and it's hard to tell that they have one in. Technology has improved so much and I can't wait to see what it's like in the future.
