Description
Control firmware for a hearing aid, read from the machine’s chips before it was scrapped.
Provenance
Donated by the creator’s family in 2022. The controller had failed, so the memory chip was removed and read directly. Everything was recovered, with a few damaged files repaired from a second copy.
