Ear Computer  (InfoWeek 09/09/96, page 10)
A Danish company has come up with what may be the world's smallest computer -
it fits in your ear. 

Oticon claims that DigiFocus, its digital audio processor - more commonly
known as a hearing aid - redesigns sound waves in real time, allowing those
with hearing impairments to hear significantly better in noisy environments.  

Although it's smaller than a top joint of a little finger and weighs just 4
grams, the computing power of the $2000 unit amounts to 14 million
instructions per second, so it can be programmed to a user's individual needs. 

With more than 100 software-controlled parameters, DigiFocus boasts features
comparable to some high-end desktop PCs. 

Still, given its miniscule size, what are you supposed to do when it is time
to reboot?
