INTRICON SELECTS NEW INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Virchow Krause & Company to Replace KPMG

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 Report’s “Top 100 of 2004.”

        “We’re grateful for KPMG’s years of service to the company,” said William J. Kullback, IntriCon’s chief financial officer. “KPMG is not resigning this business, nor 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 firm with a structure and capability that matches our current needs. This move will result in immediate cost savings for IntriCon.”
