Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT
Invitation: Hear How You Like To Hear!
Whether you have a hearing impairment or not: Why not take part in the research on a new portable hearing support currently being conducted by a team of scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT) in Oldenburg? With the help of professionals, you will be able to adjust the latest test devices to your personal requirements in everyday situations and develop creative design concepts together with experts.
This is a citizen science project that focuses on what people want, regardless of age. Tell us what you want to hear and how and when you want to hear it: Hear How You Like To Hear!
The project aims to give fresh impetus to the development of assistive listening devices and focuses on people’s wellbeing in the process. We want to make people with hearing impairments more self-confident and encourage greater awareness in their social environment.
The research work is not being performed in the laboratory but instead in everyday settings. People’s individual requirements are always at the heart of the project.
Research questions may include:
- How could hearables (portable hearing supports) for self-determined hearing SOUND?
- How could hearables for self-determined hearing FEEL?
- How could hearables for self-determined hearing LOOK?
