Abstract
Disclosed is a hearing aid attached to a mobile electronic device. Elements forming the hearing aid are separated into a main hearing aid device and a sub-hearing aid device. The main hearing aid device is attached to the casing of a mobile electronic device and connected to the mobile electronic device through a wired cable, and the sub-hearing aid device is placed in an ear of a user. Other people rarely notice that a user uses the hearing aid because the main hearing aid device is mounted on the casing of a mobile electronic device. The hearing aid is supplied with power from the battery of the mobile electronic device, and has the same size as the casing of the mobile electronic device. Accordingly, a beamforming operation through a microphone array is possible, and use convenience and a level of satisfaction of the hearing aid can be improved.
