FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



INTRICON TO ACQUIRE TIBBETTS INDUSTRIES, INC.



Company Signs Agreement to Purchase a Leader in Miniature Microphone/Receiver

Manufacturing for $4.5 Million

ST. PAUL, Minn.  April 20, 2007  IntriCon Corporation (AMEX: IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of miniature and micro-miniature medical and electronics products, today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets (other than real estate) of privately held Tibbetts Industries, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of components used in hearing aids and medical devices. Terms of the deal include a $4.5 million cash purchase price and the assumption of certain liabilities.

Tibbetts, based in Camden, Maine, makes magnetic telecoils and miniature electro-acoustic transducers, including receivers and microphones. Tibbetts also offers products that support technical surveillance by law enforcement and security agencies. The acquisition is expected to be completed in May 2007, subject to Tibbetts shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions.

Our acquisition of Tibbetts will give IntriCon access to key components that go into ear-worn communication devices used in hearing health, medical and professional audio products such as hearing aids, and ear-worn headsets and microphones, said Mark S. Gorder, president and chief executive officer of IntriCon. Tibbetts microphones and receivers, coupled with IntriCons low-power digital signal processing and wireless technology, will allow us to create a series of ear-worn communications platforms that connect people to people and their devices.

In addition, we gain the ability to manufacture receivers and microphones at lower costs and with faster production times. Were also expanding the markets we serve with the addition of security productswhich fit in well with our miniature/micro-miniature strategic focus, said Gorder.

Tibbetts has been developing and building miniature electro-acoustic transducers since 1945. Today, the company is an industry-recognized pioneer in the development of miniature transducer and telecoil technology, and has more than 85 employees.
