European researchers have combined state-of-the-art technologies to help end the isolation suffered by the hearing impaired. End users are eager to get their hands on the suite of tools.
The number of people suffering from hearing impairment is increasing, and as the disability grows it spreads isolation in its wake. Vision is the primary sensory system for navigating the real world, but sound is the mainstay of our social sphere.
When people start to lose their hearing they slowly begin to withdraw from the world. Conversation becomes difficult and confusing, as sound begins to smudge in the auditory cortex, like ink blotting on a page.
Worse, it is one of the few disabilities that the victims can conceal successfully, and they do. Embarrassment typically causes people to delay seeking help, often for years...." Read the full article
Hearing at Home project successfully completed

The Hearing at Home project ended on 2009-07-31. We lately then had the final review and passed it successfully. There are a lot of very good results, which can be found on this website (e.g. in the published newsletters or the publications). Now the next steps are aimed to be followed: finding cooperation partners to follow the productization and coming up with a follow-up project to address the next interesting research topics.
If you're interested please feel free to contact us - if you'd like to know more about the final results, our lessons learned or if you like to collaborate for the next steps with us.

Hearing at Home at exhibition "City of Science"
Last Updated (Monday, 31 August 2009 12:24) Written by Arne Schulz Wednesday, 29 July 2009 00:00
Two out of six partners are located in Oldenburg, Germany. This City near the north sea is the "City of Science 2009" (Stadt der Wissenschaft). Many actions are performed, and we're proud to contribute with a very highly visible one: The project has a booth at the permanent exhibition at the castle place (Schlossplatz), where visitors can experience themselves how hearing impairment would be like and how a system using the HaH technologies would help them. The video explaining this can be found also on youtube in a German and an English version

The Hearing at Home project just recently came up with an image film made by students in a project embedded into HaH. Now it's online viewable on youtube. Currently there's only a German version available but the pictures and the story can nevertheless be understood. An English version is coming up soon.
