I can only presume that this is not a patented title; but rather is a generic thing or category, just like "analogy hearing aid", which appears in the main text. Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, I think the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOSCAPS says that a compound item should not be upcased just because it is abbreviated with caps.

I haven't done a technical move request because there's a slight chance I might be wrong on the patented, commercial-name issue. Thanks. Tony (talk) 09:39, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

I think it should just be merged with Hearing aid which is being discussed on its talk page. 331dot (talk) 10:28, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Very good idea. Do you know how to prompt this? There's a template somewhere. Tony (talk) 10:50, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

There is already a link to the discussion on the article("It has been suggested that this article be merged into Hearing aid.") if that's what you mean. 331dot (talk) 10:53, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Tsk, silly me. Tony (talk) 10:54, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Don't worry; I do that all the time. :) 331dot (talk) 10:55, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

• Support per nom (if the article is not merged). —  AjaxSmack  02:30, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
• Support. The phrase is usually lowercase, even when the abbreviation "DHA" is used: see this Google Books search. No opinion on the merge. Dohn joe (talk) 15:09, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
