Fritz's Hit List #9

October 3, 2002 by Ed Felten

Today on Fritz’s Hit List: digital hearing aids.

These hearing aids receive, process, and retransmit audio in digital form, so they qualify for regulation as “digital media devices” under the Hollings CBDTPA. If the CBDTPA passes, any newly manufactured digital hearing aids will have to incorporate government-approved copy restriction technology.

Fight piracy – regulate hearing aids!
