What it does
SmartSense is a hearing aid for low to mid hearing loss that its collocated in the temples of your every day glasses. This hearing aid works by using bone conduction technology for clear hearing so people can enjoy everyday conversations
Your inspiration
My mother has problems hearing my voice when we converse, but she does not need a medical hearing aid, so creating something for previews stages of hearing loss.
How it works
The concept idea is to hace a removable module for common glasses that positions the module near the ear so that vibrations help to transmit sound to the ear without the need for invasive aids. It too shal have noise controls with AI to focus more on the voices when needed.
Design process
The idea came to me when I recalled a resent conversation with my mother and she had trouble understanding what I was saying, but she does not need a medical hearing aid. I also thought of my grandmom that founds her hearing aid annoying even though she needs it to hear. So I thought that if a tradition heading aid is annoying for someone that needs it, it would be even more so for people that do not have severe hearing impediment. Allso, my mother uses bifocal glasses, so having a all.in.one device for this cases will be a better match.
How it is different
Most hearing aids are targeted to people that have a severe hearing medical problem...but what happens in people in previews stages? They can hear but it lacks definition in sound so people can enjoy daily conversations with their loved ones.
Future plans
the next stage will be developing a platform to test its usefulness in everyday scenarios
