Super Tooth Buddy
I stopped by the SuperTooth Buddy booth at CES2011 in January.

A company called Sonitus Medical has developed a unique way of providing hearing for people who are deaf in one ear. The cleverly named SoundBite hearing system is composed of two electronic devices, the Behind The Ear(BTE) unit and the In The Mouth (ITM) unit.
