Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a hearing aid is disclosed. The hearing aid includes a housing, a light guide member, a first light source, and a second light source. The housing includes electronic components configured to generate a perceivable modulated signal in response to a received sound. The perceivable modulated signal is configured to produce a hearing sensation to a user of the hearing aid. The light guide member is arranged proximal to and/or within the housing. The first light source configured to emit a first colored light and a second light source configured to emit a second colored light. The first light source and the second light source are positioned within the housing and arranged in relation to the light guide member such that a substantial amount of the first colored light and a substantial amount of the second colored light are adapted to travel through the light guide member. The light guide member includes dimensions such that the substantial amount of the first colored light and the substantial amount of second colored light are mixed within the light guide member to generate a light of a third color.
