Smartphone app uses AI to provide a new approach to having a conversation in noisy areas. “Wonderful! I’ve never heard that before!”


VANCOUVER, B.C. (PRWEB)

The developers of HeardThat will be available to discuss the technology behind the app and provide demonstrations on June 23-25, 2022 at Singular Hearing’s exhibit at Booth 514.

HeardThat is a hearing-assistive smartphone app that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce the effort it takes to understand voices in noisy situations. Instead of suppressing noise in the traditional way, the AI separates the noise and discards it. This leaves speech that’s clear and easy to follow in environments like coffee shops, restaurants, or family gatherings.

HeardThat is available for Android and iPhone. No new device is required—it works by connecting to hearing aids or regular earphones via Bluetooth or wired connection.

HeardThat users describe it as “an amazing app” that helps them “focus on the talker’s voice through all the background noise”.

“One of the first things people notice when they experience hearing loss is that it takes much more effort to understand voices in noisy situations,” said Dr. Bruce Sharpe, Singular Hearing CEO. “Holding conversations in crowded places or social gatherings becomes strenuous, frustrating, or nearly impossible. Many hearing aid wearers avoid potentially noisy social situations altogether,” said Sharpe, “We like to say HeardThat gets folks back in the conversation. We’re excited to showcase our new approach for addressing this problem for the community served by the HLAA.”
