Hearware is going to catch on. The
result of a project undertaken by the
UK's RNID, Hearware aims to
revolutionize the hearing aid device, by
bringing together tecnhnical advances
with new avenues in design and
fashion.

The hearware display is currently
underway at the V&A Museum in
London and runs until March 06. This
features the work of such talent as  
Ross Lovegrove, Priestman Goode,
Industrial Facility and IDEO.

Hearware not only promotes good
aesthetic appeal, but also focuses the
design on user experience and need.
For example, one product allows users
to seamlessly hear conversation in a
noisy bar, or the Goldfish product
which continuously caches the
previous 10 seconds of conversation
to allow you to catch someones name.

We can think of a lot of products for
people without hearing impairments
that could use a little design inspiration
from
Hearware...
