Visual Hearing Aid Projects Speech And Text

Danish designer Mads Sukhdev Hindhede has presented a highly functional and sleek hearing device that could possibly shape the future of medical technologies.

Called “Babelfish,” the device combines a receptive audio “listening” process with text to display messages or conversations in the user’s line of sight. Speech is filtered through two microphones and visualized through audio translation software on embedded controllers to display the speech as text via two projectors. The device also add an integrated noise-filtering system to discern other sounds from the nearest conversation occurring.
