Week 4 - Hearing aids and blue-tooth headphones

In order to gain a deeper understanding into the technological side of headphones, I researched into hearing aids and blue-tooth headphone to find out how they work and what they are made up of. 

Hearing aids consist of five parts which are the microphone, the microchip, the amplifier, the battery and the receiver. The hearing aid receives sound through a microphone which converts the sound waves to electrical signals and sends them to an amplifier. The amplifier increases the power of the signals and then sends them to the ear through a speaker. 


Bluetooth headphones work by connecting or pairing with the device you want to use, through a radio or infrared signal. many devices use bluetooth technology to make connecting easier for the user. Devices with bluetooth technology can connect and exchange data over very shorty distances using radio transmissions.



I also looked at what regular headphones consist of because in my final design I would have to show how all these elements will be part of my overall design.
