Abstract
A multi-mode hearing aid includes a processor that is configured to selectively apply different hearing aid profiles to different input signals, such as a first sound signal received from a microphone and a second sound signal received from a transceiver, to produce first and second shaped output signals. The processor is configured to produce an output signal including at least one of the first shaped output signal and the second shaped output signal.
