audio amp question

Sep 26, 2004 4 Replies

I have a client who is looking for the following:



a 9 volt audio amplifier into which a microphone and headphones plug.



The purpose is for him to be able to speak to a man who is extremely hard of hearing.



Any ideas for a cheap circuit?

How about a 'personal amplifier'

Ok, seriously, I suggest staying away from building a hearing aid. It's not about one's skill level...it's more about who's going to be the one blamed if something were to go wrong. It doesn't matter if your circuit is the cause.

That being said.....

Williams Sound has made some products called "assistive listening devices"

I'm not sure how willing they would be to part with their schematics, but there you have it.

Other than that, if you're still interested in making the device...

You can combine a mic pre-amp with a generic op-amp amplifier circuit for headphones to accomplish the same thing. A good source for schematics is
