Patient App: How does Adaptive Volume work with Hearing Scoring?

Our Adaptive Volume feature is designed to tailor the difficulty of auditory exercises to each user's hearing abilities, ensuring an effective and personalized training experience.

Adaptive Volume

  1. Real-Time Adjustments: The Adaptive Volume feature dynamically adjusts the volume of background noise during auditory exercises.
  2. Purpose: This ensures that users are consistently challenged at an appropriate level, helping to improve their ability to understand speech in noisy environments.

Hearing Scoring

  1. Initial Assessment: Users undergo an initial assessment to determine their baseline hearing ability and sensitivity to background noise.
  2. Scoring Criteria: Scores are based on the user's ability to understand speech against varying levels of background noise. This involves:
    • Accuracy: How accurately the user can repeat or comprehend speech.
    • Noise Intensity: The level of background noise present during the exercise.
    • Response Time: How quickly the user can process and respond to speech.

Integration of Adaptive Volume and Hearing Scoring

  1. Starting Point: Based on the initial assessment, users begin with a customized volume level for background noise that aligns with their current hearing abilities.
  2. Dynamic Adjustments:
    • As users perform exercises, the Adaptive Volume feature continuously adjusts the noise intensity.
    • If a user is performing well, the background noise volume may increase to provide a greater challenge.
    • Conversely, if a user is struggling, the background noise volume may decrease to make the exercise more manageable.
  3. Ongoing Assessment:
    • Users are regularly scored on their performance during exercises.
    • Scores are calculated based on accuracy, noise intensity, and response time.
  4. Progressive Difficulty:
    • The system uses these scores to adapt future exercises, ensuring that users are gradually exposed to higher levels of background noise as their skills improve.
    • This progressive increase in difficulty helps users build their ability to understand speech in increasingly noisy environments.

Key Points

  • Personalized Experience: Adaptive Volume ensures each user receives a personalized training experience tailored to their hearing abilities.
  • Continuous Challenge: By dynamically adjusting the noise level, users are continually challenged at an appropriate level.
  • Effective Training: This approach helps users progressively improve their ability to understand speech in noisy environments, which is crucial for real-world listening situations.

Our Adaptive Volume feature, combined with our detailed Hearing Scoring system, ensures that users receive the most effective and personalized auditory training experience possible.
