Hearing Aid with Internal Audio Replay Capability

描述(由申请人提供)：Koronis Biomedical Technologies(KBT)建议开发一种助听器，具有重放最近一段音频的能力。助听器将配备额外的存储器来临时存储最近录制的音频，并将具有控制重放功能的按钮。还将开发无线远程接口，以提供对重放功能的额外控制，并调整各种助听器设置。拟议项目的主要目标是开发一种助听器系统，用于评估音频回放能力的有用性和适用性。 公共卫生相关性：听力损失是美国最常见的感官障碍，影响着大约3200万美国人及其家人。拟议的项目将通过提供以前无法提供的音频回放功能，使助听器行业受益，并最终惠及助听器用户。

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.
