Abstract
The hearing Aids device is a “wearable device” for decades. Nowadays, most hearing aids devices are behind-the-ear, or in-the-ear devices. Hearing aids IC must be as small as possible to be integrated into these devices. And the power consumption of hearing aids chips must be as low as possible because there is little space for battery in such devices. A low power hearing aids SoC integrating ADC, DAC, DSP core, and supporting peripherals is discussed in this chapter. The SoC can realize hearing aids function with only 1-mA power consumption.
