| Top view of the Oticon Model E24V1 showing a close-up of the directional microphone switch. When it is pushed forward (shown) the "DIR" appears immediately behind the switch. At the same time the microphone porthole lines up with the microphone mounted just below so sounds can reach it—thus providing directional capability. When the switch is pushed back the directional microphone port is covered preventing this microphone from receiving any sound, thus putting the hearing aid back into conventional microphone mode. This is the only hearing aid of which we know with this kind of mechanical switching mechanism.
