This project will develop and test a radio linked Auditory Trainer Transceiver which both transmits and receives, and allows the teacher to reassign frequencies with only her voice. Current FM auditory trainers consist of a receiver and an optional transmitter unit that do not operate as a coordinated transceiver. These units are based on less than state-of-the-art technology and do not address the need for the students to hear themselves and to communicate with other hearing impaired students or hearing impaired teachers which may hinder their speech development. This proposed Auditory Trainer Transceiver system will be designed using leading edge wireless technology and voice communication system design techniques to significantly improve 2-way communication in the classroom and home. The transceiver is intended to be the smallest and lightest available (less than 2 ounces), and in Phase 2 may be packaged in combination with a hearing aid to be worn behind the ear. It should have a practical range of 100 to 150 meters between transceivers and to the small Automatic System Controller that provides self-acting control and monitoring of the system. In summary, the system advantages will include the ability to: 1) communicate with other hearing impaired students and with teachers and parents without background noise (essentially with their own private FM auditory trainer system), 2) hear what they, the users, are saying, 3) allow small groups of students and teachers to communicate among one another on a given channel while other groups are also in the same classroom using other channels, 4) provide both 'push to talk' and voice actuated transmit 5) access up to 514 channels with a simple voice command 6) provide automatic channel grouping and other network functions with transparent voice control by the teacher. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION The system will introduce a new concept in local area voice radio networks--hands-free voice control of channel and other operating parameters. For instance, the transceiver can be used by hospital staff, by factory and construction workers, by store and office employees, and by family members around the house regardless of their hearing capabilities. For hearing impaired users in the home, the auditory transceiver can be used to hear doorbells, telephones, televisions and radios that have been modified with a transmitter compatible with the Auditory Transceiver.

这个项目将开发和测试一个无线电连接的听觉训练器 收发器，既传输和接收，并允许教师 只使用她的声音重新分配频率 当前FM听觉 训练器由一个接收器和一个可选的发射器单元组成， 作为协调的收发器操作。 这些单位是基于更少的 比最先进的技术，并没有解决的需要， 让学生听到自己的声音，并与其他听力 听障学生或听障教师， 言语发展 这个建议的听觉训练器收发器系统将被设计为 使用领先的无线技术和语音通信 系统设计技术，以显着提高双向 在教室和家里的沟通。 该收发器旨在 是最小和最轻的可用（小于2盎司），并在 第二阶段可能与助听器一起包装， 耳朵后面。 它的实际射程应该在100到150米之间 收发器和小型自动系统控制器之间， 提供系统的自动控制和监控。 在 总之，该系统的优点将包括以下能力：1） 与其他听障学生和老师沟通 和没有背景噪音的父母（基本上是他们自己的 私人调频听觉训练系统），2）听到他们，用户，是什么 第三，允许学生和教师进行小组交流 在给定信道上彼此之间，而其他组也在 同一个教室使用其他频道，4）同时提供“一键通” 和语音启动传输5）访问多达514个频道， 语音命令6）提供自动频道分组和其它 网络功能，由教师进行透明语音控制。 建议的商业应用 该系统将引入一个新的概念，在本地区域语音无线电 网络-免提语音控制频道和其他操作 参数 例如，收发器可以由医院工作人员使用， 工厂和建筑工人，商店和办公室员工， 家里的人不管他们的听力如何 能力的 对于家中的听力受损用户， 收发器可以用来听到门铃，电话，电视和 无线电已被修改与发射机兼容， 听觉收发器。
