Hearing Diagnostics
Hearing Diagnostics has developed a novel hearing screening technology.
It is targeted at hearing aid retailers who are looking for new technologies to help them to exploit a growing hearing aid market. Currently the majority of hearing tests are conducted by audiologists, using ‘clicks’ to confirm detection of ‘beep’ sounds which is subjective, error prone and requires sound proofed booths. Hearing Diagnostics’ test uses a head motion sensor, in combination with headphones, for localisation-based hearing screening, which can be completed in a few minutes on the shop floor.
