主权项

1. A hearing device, comprising:
a hearing device core including
an acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that converts sound into an electrical signal,a receiver, andelectronics configured to receive the electrical signal as an input signal and generate an output signal provided to the receiver, the electronics including a variable gain amplifier with input buffering circuitry including a compound transistor, the electronics being configured to bias the compound transistor such that a quiescent current associated with the output signal is limited or controlled; wherein the hearing device core includes a battery that is one or more of rechargeable and constituted of a single battery or a single cell battery.
