Pure Tone Audiometry, PTA
Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) is a hearing test used to determine an individual's hearing sensitivity to sounds of different frequencies and loudness. The test is usually performed by a hearing health professional (such as an audiologist) in a soundproof environment and is designed to identify hearing levels and determine the nature of possible hearing loss.
Why Neurahear
In the realm of auditory health, Neural Hear stands as a beacon of innovation, redefining the traditional pure-tone audiometry landscape. Gone are the days of subjective responses like hand-raising in hearing tests. Neural Hear ushers in an era of precision and ease, leveraging advanced technology to interpret auditory capabilities without the need for physical feedback from the test subject.
Concept
At its core, Neural Hear embodies a transformative concept in auditory health - the fusion of EEG signal analysis with traditional auditory testing methods. This groundbreaking concept redefines the landscape of hearing assessments by tapping into the brain's natural response to sound. Neural Hear transcends the limitations of standard audiometry, offering a more dynamic, user-centric approach to hearing evaluation. By leveraging neural responses, it opens up new possibilities in precision, comfort, and accessibility in hearing care, marking a significant leap forward in how we understand and address auditory health.
Process
Born from a personal battle with deafness and the intimidating isolation of audiometry booths, Neural Hear transcends traditional hearing health approaches. Inspired by pioneering 'EEG frequency sound response' research and AI integration, this innovation breaks down barriers of geography and specialist scarcity. It redefines hearing assessment, moving it beyond clinical confines to a more accessible, inclusive realm. Neural Hear is not just a product but a manifestation of a vision to transform hearing care into an empowering, fear-free experience, merging technological advancement with a deeply human touch.
Result
The genesis of Neural Hear is deeply rooted in a personal journey – one that began in the silent world of hearing impairment. As someone who grappled with deafness, I found myself often confined within the sterile, intimidating walls of audiometry booths as a child. Those moments, filled with isolation and fear, sparked a deep-seated desire within me to revolutionize the way we approach hearing health. This desire was not just about transforming a process; it was about reimagining an experience. I envisioned a world where geographical barriers and the scarcity of audiologists were no longer obstacles in accessing quality hearing care. Neural Hear was conceived to break down these barriers, to bring the testing process out of the clinical rooms and into a space that is accessible, comfortable, and inclusive. My inspiration was further fueled by the groundbreaking research in 'EEG different frequency sound response identification using neural network and fuzzy techniques.' This paper opened my eyes to the potential of integrating EEG signal analysis with AI-driven methods to reinterpret how we understand and assess hearing. It was a eureka moment – the realization that we could harness the power of technology not just to test hearing but to understand it in a way that's nuanced and deeply connected to the individual's experience. Neural Hear, therefore, is more than just a product; it's the embodiment of a personal quest to empower individuals to protect and cherish their hearing. It represents a bridge between technological innovation and humane sensitivity, ensuring that hearing care is no longer a journey marked by fear, but one that is empowering, enlightening, and accessible to all.
