HeardThat
HeardThat™ is an AI-powered smartphone app designed to work with existing hearing aids or earphones. The app acts as a hearing assistive device that enhances speech in noisy environments by separating and eliminating background noise, leaving only clear and easy-to-follow speech. HeardThat™ uses artificial intelligence and algorithms to distinguish between speech and noise, removing the latter, thereby making conversations easier.
Once the app is downloaded, users can connect their hearing aids or earphones to their smartphones and point the device towards the person they are speaking with or the TV. HeardThat™ then uses the smartphone’s power to analyze speech and deliver clearer speech to the connected hearing devices. HeardThat™ eliminates the need for additional or new hearing devices and provides a convenient, cost-effective solution for those with hearing difficulties. It is easy to use and requires only the push of a button.
The app has received positive user feedback and a product validation study, with many users noting that conversation has become less of a chore and more enjoyable with HeardThat™. The HeardThat™ app does not require an internet connection to function but may be downloaded free of charge from the official HeardThat™ website.
Overall, HeardThat™ is a practical and innovative tool for individuals with hearing difficulties seeking a better hearing experience in noisy and challenging environments.
