The current hearing devices available in my country, Guatemala, focus on the amplification of sound to stimulate the middle ear, however, in more severe hearing loss a cochlear implant is needed that is performed by surgery and the regular cost is between the two hundred and fifty thousand quetzales in local currency, or approximately thirty-five thousand dollars, it should be emphasized that this is a budget that is not accessible to the vast majority of people in our country.
Due to the aforementioned problems, we propose the design and implementation of a hearing device based on bone conduction, of superficial placement which will not require any surgical intervention, thus also offering a low manufacturing cost, aroun one hundred dollars.
