JSZ2698
Smart Hearing-Aid Audio Module4.0×3.0×1.0 mm · bottom port · Bottom-port
The JSZ2698 integrates an acoustic sensing element, a front-end amplifier/bias stage and a 24-bit DSP in one device — a complete chain from pickup and pre-amp to digital audio processing and a differential driver that feeds the receiver directly. A hearing aid or PSAP needs only a battery, a receiver and buttons around it. Powered by a single zinc-air button cell at ~0.9 mA total. Offered as BAVC (analog volume) and BDVC (digital volume).

Key Features
Six capabilities built for the voice chainWhy JSZ2698
Full chain, one device
Pickup, pre-amp, DSP and class-D driver closed in a single package — replacing the analog-front-end + DSP + amp split, shortening the analog path and cutting noise coupling.
8-ch WDRC
24-bit audio DSP with up to 8-channel WDRC, adaptive noise reduction and feedback cancellation, 8-band GEQ and 4 biquad IIRs.
Direct-driven receiver
Zero-bias class-D differential output drives balanced-armature or dynamic receivers directly: 30 mA / 20 Ω / 95 dB DR — no external amp or coupling caps.
One button cell
Runs straight off a 1.0–1.5 V zinc-air cell with internal LDOs and a 3.3 V charge pump; a size-675 cell lasts ~1.5–2 months at 12 h/day.
3 modes, memory
Up to 3 programs cycled by one button (INT3n); volume and mode survive power-off, with key-tone feedback.
I2C provisioning
A 256 kb on-chip EEPROM is programmed over I2C (400 kbps) — firmware and WDRC fitting to the user's audiogram.
