Funded Activity Summary
Improved design of hearing protection devices with binaural voice pick-up and hearing loss compensation. Hearing protection is essential to industries operating under extreme noise conditions. However, conventional hearing protection devices such as earplugs and earmuffs inhibit face-to-face communications. Sensear has developed and marketed a world-first product that, apart from overcoming the aforesaid limitation, also gives the wearer a perception of his surrounding sound field. This project seeks to extend Sensear's products to include compensation for people with hearing loss. This will give Sensear a competitive edge in hearing protection products, and enhance Australia's reputation in assistive hearing technology. The project also presents a number of opportunities to provide industry-focussed research training to PhD students.Funded Activity Details
