Method and Apparatus for Implementing Hearing Aid with Array of Processors

A method of operation of an array hearing aid including:

• Dividing the tasks of the array hearing aid in plurality of simple tasks;
• Distributing the said simpler tasks of the array hearing aid device to plurality of processing devices;
• and,
• Executing said simpler tasks of the array hearing aid device in parallel where possible.

A method of operation of an array hearing aid comprising the steps of:

• Dividing the tasks of the array hearing aid into a plurality of subtasks;
• and,
• Distributing said subtasks of the array hearing aid device to a plurality of processing devices;
• and,
• Executing said subtasks of the array hearing aid device in parallel.

A digital hearing aid with at least one earpiece comprising:

• a plurality of microphones positioned on said earpiece for converting acoustic energy into analog electrical signals;
• and a signal processing unit including plurality of substantially similar processing devices connected to said microphones for digitizing said electrical signal into computer words;
• and wherein said processing devices further divide said signal into a plurality of frequency bands;
• and sill further convert said words into an analog sample;
• and a transducer positioned in said earpiece for converting said signal into acoustic energy.
