Does anyone know of any firms that can design and manufacture small Fresnel acoustic mirrors with a specified (non-planar) surface shape ? My hope is for a new form of hearing aid for those with mild hearing loss, in which suitably designed shoulder pads would reflect sounds incident to the front of the wearer and direct them to foci just outside the ears. Horses and other animals have wonderful acoustic reflectors. It's about time we humans devised something similar - without the user having to look freakish.
