Hearing Augmentation

A team of researchers has created a way to inexpensively manufacture acoustic head simulators. They can help measure the way we take in and process sound – especially in noisy environments like cocktail parties.

In a world first, Amazon has partnered with Cochlear to make watching movies and shows more accessible for folks with hearing loss by streaming audio from a Fire TV device directly to a Cochlear hearing implant's sound processor.

New research is building on the suggestion that our ability to effectively hear something is influenced by the position of our eyes. The study found auditory attention seems to be intertwined with visual spatial attention.

They’re not just Bluetooth earbuds. With mics in each ear and an adjustable intelligent noise control feature, IQbuds let you experience the world around you with a kind of bionic hearing. In noisy environments, they let you separate voices out of the background noise to make conversations easier.
