High Fidelity, Self-Fitting Hearing Assistance Device And Method Thereof

Technology Description

UCSD inventors, in a collaboration with inventors from San Diego State University, have has come up with a new hearing aid which offloads most of its computing to a wearable device such as a smartwatch,   leveraging the large batteries and sophisticated on-board DSP on such smart mobile devices to execute complex signal processing algorithms that are not feasible in conventional hearing-aid architectures.   This new system allows for multiple listening environments, field testing, self-fitting, remote assistance from experts, e.g. audiologists, etc
