STAR Analytical Services is pleased to announce the award of SIBAL, an NIH grant, to develop an environmental listening assistant. With state of the art mathematical techniques and algorithm development, STAR aims to develop a room-infrastructure system for hearing aid wearers and hearing-impaired listeners to be able to hear clearly in complex audio environments., This will give them the best renditions of what they want to hear. See the demo below for as taste of what is to come.
Grant from NIH for a Conversation-Support Device™
STAR Analytical Services announces the award of a 3-year $1,500,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop an assistive conversation system for hearing-impaired listeners, including many aging baby-boomers, who have difficulty understanding and participating in conversations in noisy environments. The proposed project will extend STAR’™s previous work on novel techniques to suppress distracting sounds and enhance conversational speech. The resulting appliance will enable listeners to create an immersive virtual acoustic reality. In 2010, STAR received a small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award from NIDCD, an institute of NIH, to improve the lives of people with communication disorders. This new grant extends that project into phase two.
