I wear dual hearing aids, and like most H-A users, I am at a complete loss in areas with high “background” noise. Filtering as the hearing aid mfgs. do does not really work because the background noise is almost always other people talking. Filter them out and I filter out the person that I am trying to hear. I would like to add a very directional mic to my H-A input in place of the normal mics. The input part is easy because I have inductive inputs and a neck loop to couple to the H-A’s. After reading your report, it seems as though a flat directed mic would work best in this case. What do you think? Has anyone else asked this question?

Thank you, Dave Capone, Harwick PA

Hi, I was curious about your calculation of G for the flat microphones. What does the variable p represent? Is S total or individual aperture area?
