Ultra Low-Noise, Low-Power, Miniature MEMS
microphone for Hearing Aid Applications
InvenSense, Inc. (NYSE:INVN), a leading provider of MEMS sensor
platforms, and Sonion, the global leader in micro acoustic and
micro mechanical technologies and solutions for hearing
instruments, in-ear earphones and specialty headsets, today
announced the release of the O-series MEMS microphone in 2 very
small form factors: O8 (8mm³) and O11 (11mm³). The new O-series,
which has been designed specifically for hearing aids, provides
superior sound quality with very high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),
increased overload margin for extended dynamic range, and very
low-power optimized for 0.9V operation. The O-series products offer
hearing aid manufacturers greater flexibility in hearing aid
design.
The O-series, which will begin to ship in volume in January
2017, is designed to meet the stringent directionality requirements
of hearing aids. In Sonion’s dedicated manufacturing facilities the
O series microphone sensitivity is precisely trimmed to the
required sensitivity. This tight sensitivity distribution
eliminates the need for sensitivity calibration between two
microphones in a hearing aid. Combining this with low-humidity
drift and long term stability of the O-series MEMS microphone,
enables a perfectly stable directional system. With this ground
breaking performance the O-series sets a new standard for MEMS
microphones for hearing aids and is expected to be the microphone
of choice for future designs.
“Our continued collaboration with Sonion is key to InvenSense’s
strategy of bringing our micromechanical technologies and solutions
for hearing instruments to market,” said Behrooz Abdi, president
and CEO, InvenSense. "As a leading provider of Sound solutions for
consumer electronic and industrial applications, InvenSense is
committed to partnership with Sonion to develop technology to meet
the stringent requirements of the Hearing Aid industry.”
“By adding this next generation of MEMS microphones to our
already very strong electret microphone portfolio, we exemplify our
commitment to provide customers with the broadest range of products
for the hearing aid market,” said Jørn Mørkeberg, CEO, Sonion.
