ST. 
          PAUL, Minn.  August 25, 2005  IntriCon Corporation (AMEX: IIN)today announced that its audit committee selected Virchow Krause &
          Company, LLP to replace KPMG LLP as the companys independent auditors,
          effective immediately. Virchow Krause is the nations 13th largest
          certified public accounting and consulting firm according to Public Accounting

Were
grateful for KPMGs years of service to the company, said William J. Kullback,

does our appointment of Virchow Krause stem from any disagreement or dissatisfaction with
KPMG. Like many other small companies, it makes sense for us to move to a regional audit

in immediate cost savings for IntriCon.
