FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



INTRICON DELIVERS SOLID GROWTH IN 2006 SECOND QUARTER

Strong Sales of $13.2 Million Increase 14 Percent over Prior-Year Period,

12 Percent Sequentially



ST. PAUL, Minn.  July 26, 2006  IntriCon Corporation (AMEX:
IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and
distributor of miniature and micro-miniature medical and electronic products,
today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June
30, 2006.



For the second quarter, the company reported sales of $13.2 million, up 14 percent from sales of $11.6 million for the 2005 second quarter. Sales also rose 12 percent sequentially from $11.8 million in the 2006 first quarter. IntriCon delivered second-quarter 2006 net income of $422,000, or $0.08 per share, versus net income of $317,000, or $0.06 per share, for the year-ago period, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $356,000, or $0.07 per share. The 2006 second quarter net income includes stock option expense of $49,000, or $0.01 per share, due to the 2006 adoption of FAS 123(R).



We continue to build on the double-digit sales strength IntriCon has delivered over the past year, said Mark S. Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon. Fueling top-line growth are our strong medical and hearing-health businesses. Medical benefited from more sales to existing customers, and the success of new digital signal processing products drove hearing health. Year over year, our hearing health business is up 15 percent for the six-month period.



For the six-month period, IntriCon reported sales of $25.0 million and net
income of $281,000, or $.05 per share. This compares to 2005 six-month sales of
$21.4 million and net income of $527,000, or $.10 per share. C
urrent-year net income includes $93,000, or $0.02 per share, in stock
option expense.



On a continuing operations only basis, IntriCon recorded 2006 second-quarter net income of $448,000, or $0.08 per share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $673,000, or $0.13 per share, for the prior-year period. For the 2006 six-month period, the company reported net income from continuing operations of $309,000, or $0.06 per share, versus $420,000, or $0.08 per share, for the 2005 six months. Lower profits in both the 2006 second-quarter and six-month period primarily stem from a lower-margin product mix and increased spending on strategic research and development opportunities.

Business Update

As previously disclosed, IntriCon successfully completed a
sale-leaseback of its Vadnais Heights, Minn., manufacturing facility during the
2006 second quarter. The transaction generated net proceeds of $2.6 million, of
which $1.5 million was used to repay the associated real estate loan and the
remainder to pay down the companys domestic revolver. The gain on the sale
will be recognized over the 10-year lease term.



In addition, the company recently named Scott Longval its new chief financial
officer, treasurer and secretary. Longval, who was serving as IntriCons
corporate controller, previously held financial planning and analysis, and
accounting positions with medical-device manufacturer Accellent, Inc. (formerly
MedSource Technologies), ADC Telecommunications and Arthur Andersen
LLP.



Growth Strategy

During the second quarter IntriCons medical business grew more than 19
percent from the prior year, and hearing health increased approximately 12
percent. Additionally, with the companys acquisition of Amecon in late
2005, electronics grew 34 percent from a year ago.



Concluded Gorder, Were very encouraged by the success were
seeing in our medical business. While project timing in this market can have an
impact sequentially, we continue to expect positive long-term growth. Moreover,
we believe expansion in our other markets will come from our
continuing focus on core product lines, as well as new product introductions.
Increasingly, were realizing success by further increasing our business
with existing customersthey already know and benefit from our
capabilities.
