Hi Priyank,

two things to consider:
For me "hearing aid" implies to increase the volume of a audio
signal. But you cannot process signals, which do not arrive at the
A/D-converter.
The cheap USB-Audio-Dongles have a no stereo mic inout. It is only
mono (or in other words: All USB-dongles I looked for, have a mono
input...I didnt find any dongle with a stereo input). A hearing
aid which feeds the same signal to both ears (mono) will destroy
the human ability to locate sounds. While crossing over roads (for example)
without being able to locate a sound could be fatal... ;)
Furthermore it may be possible, that the input amplifier of such 
dongles isn't powerful enough to amplify a mic's signal. May be the
advertising of such dongles confuses "Line In" with "Mic In" for
obvious reasons.


Best regards,
mcc
