DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project is for the development of software with research and clinical applications in the hearing sciences. In the research area, the software will allow investigators to work at a higher level of abstraction, providing monitoring and control applications for the design of complex sound processing strategies for hearing devices. The clinical applications are designed to improve communications between audiologists, speech-language therapists, and hearing- impaired individuals through the use of auditory training and assessment activities that are accessible from any web-connected device. Our approach for completing this work is to frame development on two formative studies of research and clinical applications. These studies will be conducted in collaboration with the University of Texas at Dallas and with the House Ear Institute. The purpose of these formative evaluations is to receive essential user feedback from scientists, clinicians, and hearing- impaired individuals. The study of the research version of the software will examine the benefits of a specified method for synchronizing bilateral hearing devices (with emphasis on cochlear implants). The study of the clinical version of the software will examine the benefits of using online auditory training and assessment activities with hearing-impaired children. Successful completion of this project will yield two software packages designed for research and clinical applications. The research version will be used by a relatively small group of academic and industrial scientists, while the clinical version will be used by a larger group of audiologists, speech-language therapists, and hearing-impaired individuals. Providing a single architecture to implement all of these activities will consolidate efforts towards optimizing hearing for the impaired.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该项目用于开发在听力科学中研究和临床应用的软件。在研究领域，该软件将允许调查人员在更高的抽象水平上工作，从而为设计复杂的声音处理策略设计和控制应用程序的监视应用程序。临床应用旨在通过使用听觉培训和评估活动来改善听力学家，语音语言治疗师和听力受损的个人之间的沟通，这些活动可从任何与Web连接的设备访问。我们完成这项工作的方法是对两项研究和临床应用的形成性研究进行开发。这些研究将与得克萨斯大学达拉斯大学和众议院耳朵学院合作进行。这些形成性评估的目的是从科学家，临床医生和听力受损的人那里获得必不可少的用户反馈。该软件的研究版本的研究将研究指定方法对双边听力设备同步的好处（重点是耳蜗植入物）。该软件的临床版本的研究将研究使用听力受损儿童使用在线听觉培训和评估活动的好处。该项目的成功完成将产生两个用于研究和临床应用的软件包。研究版将由相对较小的学术和工业科学家组使用，而临床版本将由较大的听力学家，语音语言治疗师和听力受损的人使用。提供单个架构来实施所有这些活动将巩固为优化受损听力的努力。
