In the last article we learned about various devices to help people with disabilities, about Phone , plates and even hours for blind people. Now beginning to emerge of the invention, which should help deaf people to overcome their illness.
* For the record
In the future, people with hearing loss can have and not need surgery to install кохлеарного implant . This is the conclusion reached by researchers at the University of Colorado, who invented a device is inserted into the mouth and helps to hear. A team of engineers and neurologists developed a special hearing device that allows you to hear the word "mouth", completely eliminating the need in the ears.
The technology is based on the Bluetooth-fixing dynamics around sounds and speech, and then passes them as electronic pulses to latch electrodes. Click on a language device owners an opportunity to perceive sounds and speech.
The idea belongs to the device Professor John Williams , which came to him as he says " during the study of the crisis of middle age. " Engineer successfully developed electric propulsion for spacecraft, and after struggling to find a new occupation unattainable for themselves. However, after a long work in vacuum chambers he had a lot of noise in the ears, which prompted him to study neuroscience and the study of cochlear implants.
Course will be a long time before this technology will begin mass produced and will be available to all. That's why John called to his aid neuroscientist Leslie Roy Stone, which should determine the most effective place in the language for the vibrating electrodes.
In any case, it seems quite promising technology in comparison with a cochlear implant, which provides a better effect mainly in younger patients. Therefore, John and his team have created a startup Sapien LLC, the achievements of which we will hear very soon.
