Project description
A loud solution for hearing loss
There are many ways to generate sound. One way is with the use of new technology and modulated ultrasound speakers. The EU-funded SonicEdge project developed a new technology featuring high quality sound from a compact speaker that is 10 times smaller than average. Its MUSE technology enables a unique capability, a flat audio spectrum from 50-20 000 Hz resulting in high-quality sound and an extremely wide audio spectrum. The MUSE speaker solution provides the loudest audio source for a given size, has high acoustic efficiency and affordable price. It’s a potential solution for many problems, including hearing aids. Ultimately, SonicEdge aims to provide people suffering from hearing loss with a high-quality solution at an affordable price.
Objective
MUSE is a radically new approach to sound generation. The principle of MUSE is to modulate an ultrasound signal to generate a high quality sound. The MUSE technology provides a unique speaker with a tenfold reduction in speaker size and high acoustic efficiency. The MUSE technology enables a unique capability, a flat audio spectrum from 50-20,000 Hz resulting in high quality sound and an extremely wide audio spectrum. The MUSE speaker solution provides the loudest audio source for a given size, high acoustic efficiency and affordable price. The product is a drop-in replacement to existing speaker devices, while providing superior performance at a smaller size and comparable price.
