Project description
New hearing aid technology
In today’s fast-paced world, individuals with hearing impairment face significant challenges, particularly in environments with background noise or multiple speakers. Recognising this problem, WOID AS, a welfare and tech company, has embarked on a project to transform the hearing aid industry. With the support of the EU-funded Woid IHAE 23-24 project, the company aims to digitalise assistive technology through a smartphone application, eliminating the need for external microphones or speech enhancers. By leveraging cutting-edge audio transfer technology and harnessing the power of machine learning for noise reduction, it will provide a satisfying sound experience directly through smartphones. This simplifies the user experience and enhances accessibility by making the technology more economically and physically attainable.
Objective
WOID AS consists of entrepreneurs; Mariel Ellingsen, the CEO, and Ivanna Ustymenko, the COO. Together they have broad knowledge and expertise regarding tech- and business development. WOID AS is a welfare and tech company. Compassion, inclusion, and social equality are our core values. We must put people at the center of development to create value in society.
Hearing aids are often paired with external microphones or speech enhancers for situations with a lot of background noise or
multiple speakers. The company creates an application that digitalizes this assistive technology. Taking advantage of smartphones, we remove excess devices while providing a satisfactory sound experience. This is done by implementing cutting-edge technology for audio transfer while utilizing machine learning for noise reduction on commodity hardware.
This solution will become more economically and physically accessible than the ones offered on the market today.
