DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Koronis Biomedical Technologies (KBT) proposes to develop a hearing aid with the ability to replay a recent period of audio. The hearing aid will be equipped with an additional memory to temporarily store the recently recorded audio and will have buttons to control the replay functionality. A wireless remote interface will also be developed to provide additional control of the replay functionality and to adjust various hearing aid settings. The primary goal of the proposed project is to develop a hearing aid system to be used in evaluating the usefulness and applicability of the audio replay capability. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder in the United States affecting about 32 million Americans and their families. The proposed project will benefit the hearing aid industry, and ultimately hearing aid users, by providing a previously unavailable audio replay capability.

描述（由申请人提供）：Koronis Biomedical Technologies（KBT）提出开发一种能够重放最近一段音频的助听器。助听器将配备一个额外的存储器，以临时存储最近录制的音频，并将有按钮来控制重放功能。还将开发一个无线远程接口，以提供对重放功能的额外控制，并调整各种助听器设置。该项目的主要目标是开发一种助听器系统，用于评估音频重放能力的有用性和适用性。 公共卫生关系：听力损失是美国最常见的感觉障碍，影响约3200万美国人及其家庭。拟议的项目将有利于助听器行业，并最终助听器用户，通过提供以前无法使用的音频重放功能。
