Ryan Kirkpatrick says "‘el’ is an attempt to reposition hearing devices from an aid to an elegant accessory. The design comprises of three types of components. These include a pair of hearing devices worn in each ear, designed for the purpose of compensating for impaired human hearing by amplifying and modulating sounds. Secondly two ring control units, worn on each index finger, provide a manual volume control for the hearing devices. Finally a charging and display case houses each of the aforementioned pieces and induction charges the hearing devices."
Ryan Explains that "The Design ‘el’ is a move away from the desire to miniaturize and hide hearing aids, at the expense of the technological componentary. The design is instead positioned as a jewellery-like accessory to be displayed rather than hidden. This enables the product to be large enough to contain the state-of-the-art technology, while still ensuring aesthetic appeal."
