Display of audiograms of three of our friends provides great insight into hearing loss.

We may think that hearing aids solve all problems. But that's not precisely true. When you call the SensoSmart platform, you can now hear displays of how three of our friends hear based on measures from their audiograms, a profile of hearing at a number of pre-selected frequencies. By calling 973-339-7209, you can hear the unaltered spoken phrases and some examples of characteristic frequency hearing losses when selecting directly from the menu. In addition, when you return to the main menu by selecting option '0', you can then select option '4' to hear how one of our friends hears in the 'good' ear. Then select option '0', return to the main menu, and select '5' then repeat and select '6' to hear the two ears of another friend. Then return to the main menu and select '7' to hear the very amplified recording filtered by another friend's audiogram. Listening to the display of how our friends hear the speech around us provides great insight into the issues facing people who have hearing loss. It inspires us to improve access to technology.
