An IoT device to help the hospitality industry to recover inclusively and safely through innovative hearing wellness.

该项目将开发、原型和测试一种新的物联网(IoT)设备，以监测公共场所的声音性能数据，为数字听力健康平台提供动力。这个平台将帮助人们通过做出明智的选择来管理自己的听力健康，并意味着企业可以根据他们策划的声音性能来吸引客户。它还将帮助企业通过管理音量来提高COVID安全性，从而降低人们说话所需的音量。有多少次您因为背景噪音而难以集中精力工作？有多少次你在离开嘈杂的餐厅时耳鸣，喉咙因大喊大叫而酸痛？超过一半的人被噪音和噪音包围，这些噪音和噪音对我们的生产力、幸福感和行为都有负面影响。超过60%的人口受到某种形式的声音耐受性下降的影响。虽然听力损失对一些人的影响可能比另一些人更严重，甚至到了残疾的地步，但它几乎影响到每个人生命中的某个时刻。我们知道，随着年龄的增长，听力会变得越来越严重，噪音会让一些地方变得不吸引人，甚至让许多人无法忍受。Mumbli是一个听力健康的数字平台。它帮助企业和消费者共同获取、受益于听力健康，并为听力健康做出贡献。Mumbli的方法是开发一个全面的基于技术的系统，使听力健康对每个人都有吸引力，并打破它仅限于较少残疾人的耻辱。经过广泛的背景研究，Mumbli开发了一种独特的方法，基于公共场所的声音数据，轻松地与用户交流有关公共场所声音的信息。该项目将开发、原型和现实世界测试一种创新的新设备，支持物联网，在公共场所主动记录声音数据。然后，它记录的数据将为Mumbli的听力健康平台的用户提供洞察力。商家与Mumbli合作使用该设备，该平台可以主动选择监控和管理他们的场所--如咖啡馆、酒吧或商店。他们与Mumbli的合作使他们能够获得“声音认证”认证。这一认证使用户能够依靠Mumbli的平台找到符合他们自己特定听力健康需求和偏好的场所。例如，可以是他们知道可以安静地工作的咖啡馆，或者是他们知道可以听到朋友说话的餐厅，或者是可以降低进一步听力损伤风险的酒吧。该平台充当了通往其他设备和服务的门户，这些设备和服务可以帮助用户在未来进一步管理自己的听力健康。随着酒店业从新冠肺炎带来的S影响中恢复过来，孟买的平台具有潜在的全球吸引力，并将帮助企业以包容性的方式吸引原本可能不愿外出的受众。

This project will develop, prototype and test a new Internet of Things (IoT) device to monitor data on sound performance in public spaces, powering a digital hearing wellness platform. This platform will help people to manage their own hearing health by making informed choices and means businesses can appeal to customers based on the sound performance that they curate. It will also help businesses to be more COVID-secure by enabling them to manage sound levels, which reduces the volume people need to speak at to be heard.How many times have you struggled to concentrate on your work because of background noise? And how many times have you left a loud restaurant with your ears ringing and your throat sore from shouting?More than half of us are surrounded by noise and sound that negatively affects our productivity, wellbeing and behaviour. And over 60% of the population are affected by some form of decreased sound tolerance. While the impacts of hearing loss may be more acute for some people than others, to the point of disability, it affects almost everyone at some point in their life. We know that it becomes more severe as we age, and noise can make some spaces unattractive or even intolerable to many.Mumbli is a digital platform for hearing wellness. It helps businesses and consumers to access, benefit from and contribute towards hearing wellness together.Mumbli's approach is to develop a holistic technology-based system that makes hearing wellness attractive for everyone, and to break through the stigma of it being restricted to a smaller audience of people with a disability.Following extensive background research, Mumbli has developed a unique approach to easily communicating information to users about sound in public spaces, based on data about sound in that location.This project will develop, prototype and real-world test an innovative new IoT-enabled device to actively record sound data in public spaces. The data it records then powers the insights that are offered to users of Mumbli's hearing wellness platform.Businesses that partner with Mumbli to use the device and the platform can actively choose to monitor and curate the 'sound personality' of their venue - such as a cafe, a bar or a shop. Their partnership with Mumbli gives them access to a 'Certified for Sound' certification.This certification enables users to rely on Mumbli's platform to find venues that match their own particular hearing wellness needs and preferences. For example, that might be a cafe where they know they can work quietly, or a restaurant they know they can hear their friend talk in or a bar that will reduce the risk of further hearing damage. The platform acts as a gateway to other devices and services that can help users to further manage their hearing wellness in the future.As the hospitality sector recovers from COVID-19's impacts, Mumbli's platform has potential global appeal and will help businesses to appeal inclusively to audiences who may have otherwise been deterred from going out.
