    Compensation decisions are made by the full Board of Directors.  In
addition to base salary, compensation for the Company's executive officers may
include bonuses, stock options pursuant to the Company's stock option plan and
otherwise and stock grants pursuant to the Company's stock bonus plan.  It is
the intention of the Board of Directors to use salary and bonuses as
compensation for current and past performance, while using stock options and
restricted stock grants to provide incentives for superior long-term
performance.

    The Board of Directors does not use any formulas or other objective
criteria to establish compensation for its executive officers.  Instead, the
decisions are based on subjective performance evaluations and, with respect to
executive officers other than Dr. Brown, the Company's Chief Executive Officer,
the salary and bonus recommendations of Dr. Brown.  In light of the Company's
financial position, Dr. Brown determined to waive payment of any cash
compensation to him until the Company can achieve two successive quarters of
profitability.  Based on advice from the Company's former independent auditors
to remedy an unintended adverse financial consequence to the Company of Dr.
Brown's salary waiver, the Company granted Dr. Brown an option in fiscal 1993
<PAGE> 9

to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a purchase price of
$2.00 per share.  No options were granted to Dr. Brown in fiscal 1995 and 1994.

Common Stock Performance

    As part of the executive compensation information presented in this
Form 10-K, the Securities and Exchange Commission requires a five-year
comparison of stock performance for the Company with stock performance of other
companies.  The closing price of the Common Stock at December 29, 1995, was
$1.3282 per share.  During 1995, the Common Stock was traded on the over-the-
counter market with prices being reported by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., OTC Bulletin Board Service ("NASDBB").  During the
middle of March, 1996, the Common Stock was traded on the American Stock
Exchange.  The following chart depicts a comparison of five-year cumulative
total returns for each of the Company, the NASDAQ Stock Market - US and the
NASDAQ Non-Financial Index.

Director Compensation

    The Board of Directors received no cash compensation during the fiscal year
ended December 29, 1995, and it is not anticipated that the Board will receive
cash compensation during the current fiscal year.  The Company does reimburse
out-of-pocket expenses for attendance at meetings.

    Non-management directors (i.e., Messrs. Archibald, Gerard and McLachlan)
each received pursuant to the Company's shareholder approved Non-Qualified
Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors an option to acquire 15,000 shares
of Common Stock at a price of $1.25 per share.  These options are for a period
of ten years and vested immediately.


Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

    Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of
the Common Stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial
reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and
other equity securities of the Company.  Officers, directors and greater than
ten-percent shareholders are required by Securities and Exchange Commission
regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they
file.

    To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such
reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other
reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 29, 1995, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and
greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with; except that one
report, relating to the sale of 76,000 shares was filed late by Paul A. Brown;
a report, relating to the sale of 60,000 shares, was filed late by Stephen J.
Hansbrough; and another report, relating to the acquisition of 24,242 shares,
was filed late by Tommy E. Kee.

Item 13.     Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
             ----------------------------------------------

    a.   Relationship with Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company
         ------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to a series of agreements, the first of which was executed in
October 1991, between the Company and Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing
Company ("3M"), 3M acquired from the Company or obtained options to acquire
from the Company shares of up to seven different series of senior preferred
stock at varying purchase prices.  The Company also entered into a number of
different arrangements with 3M pursuant to which the Company became an
authorized distributor of hearing aids manufactured by 3M.  3M has exercised
all but two of its options to purchase senior preferred stock.  Under certain
of the options and stock purchase agreements, the Company granted to 3M certain
rights to participate in future financings by the Company.  In addition,
Paul A. Brown, M.D., the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, agreed with 3M that he would not sell for five years any shares of
Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock;
he further agreed to afford 3M the right of first refusal to purchase all or
any portion of such shares and the right to approve any potential purchaser. 
Dr. Brown's agreements with 3M do not apply to the sale in the open market or
the transfer by gift of up to 5% of Dr. Brown's security holdings (on a fully
converted basis).  

    On May 1, 1995, the Company reached an agreement with 3M to convert
$808,000 of accounts payable into long-term debt.  This agreement provides for
conversion of a portion of this long-term debt into equity upon the Company
reaching certain product sales goals.  


    b.   Transactions with Paul A. Brown, M.D.
         -------------------------------------

    At the end of 1994, Paul A. Brown, M.D., the Chairman of the Board and the
principal shareholder of the Company, had loaned a total of $1,675,000 to the
Company, which is evidenced by a note due on April 1, 1996, bearing interest at
a rate of prime plus three percent.  This note was amended and restated in
early 1996 to provide that the Company will make no payments under the note
until such time as the 1996 Senior Preferred Stock has been redeemed by the
Company.  During 1995, Dr. Brown loaned the Company an additional $270,000, on
a demand loan basis, which loan bears interest at the rate of prime plus three
percent.  In early 1996, $100,000 of that amount was repaid to Dr. Brown.
