A Low Cost 3-Band Gain Equalizer Using op-Amps for Hearing Aid Applications

Authors: Md Mubdiul Hasan

Hearing loss is a common health issue that affects nearly 10% of the world population reported by international studies. The hearing impaired typically experience more mental disorientation than those with normal hearing levels. It is often difficult to analyze hearing loss that would closely match with prescribed real ear gain/frequency responses due to technological limitations. The conventional device for hearing impairment is an electronic circuit whose main components are transducers (microphone and receiver). This study is focused on the electronic components those are relatively cheap and available in local market. In this paper the conventional active equalizer circuit especially bass, treble, and mid control based equalizer is implemented by op-amp LM741. Overall gain is split between input and output buffers, for bass ±15dB in 100Hz, mid ±9dB for 1kHz and for treble ±15dB in 10kHz. A trimmer-adjusted, lighter, pocket —carry device can be developed in this case.
