Knowles Corporation is showcasing its latest solutions optimized for over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids at the CES 2023 show in Las Vegas. The new product releases unveiled ahead of the show offer performance and design flexibility to accelerate the production of hearing health products. Three full-range balanced armature receivers and two updated MEMS microphones will fulfill the rigorous demands of hearing aid design and acoustic performance.

As part of their continued customer-focused approach - inspired by Lucid Hearing - Westone Audio has launched what it states to be one of the industry's most technologically advanced universal fit earphones available on the market today. The new Westone Audio Mach Series universal fit in-earphones were developed using the over 35 years of engineering and performance experience previously used only for professional, stage-grade, custom in-ear monitors.

Knowles announced the availability of the GM series receiver, a new high-performance, two-way balanced armature receiver designed specifically to enable hearing health applications to deliver audiophile-quality music performance. Knowles and Lucid Hearing have partnered to bring the hearing health industry the Westone Audio High Fidelity DWT, a premium hearing aid with a Receiver in Canal (RIC) that delivers exceptional sound quality for music-listening.
