ARDEN HILLS, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IntriCon Corporation (NASDAQ: IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of miniature and micro-miniature body-worn devices, today announced that it has completed phase one, as anticipated, of the introduction of its advanced digital hearing devices into Hearing Help Express’ (HHE) product line. IntriCon introduced its first digital hearing device, the EarMate 4220, into the HHE portfolio in March 2017, and just recently completed phase one of the digital offering by adding the Apollo 6200, the Apollo 6310 and the Ranger 7610 digital hearing aids.
