Visual impairments were the focus of Samsung's Relúmĭno which work with a Gear VR headset. Samsung's Relumino aims to help the visually impaired to see. "Every ear is unique" she informed me as her voice moved from right ear to left to start the process over again. Each was played in turn on each earbud, getting progressively louder, and the Bragi assistant ordered me to tap the side of the earbud as soon as I could hear each one. Project Ears evaluated my hearing capabilities on three different frequency levels. In a hotel room in Las Vegas for CES 2018, I got to try an early prototype of Project Ears, which created what Bragi calls an "earprint" – Silicon Valley speak for pure-tone audiometry, the process of measuring your hearing sensitivity. Bragi wants to make a hearing aid-like device, but CEO Nikolaj Hviid said he also wants to create an FDA-approved hearable that can offer tinnitus relief. To that end Bragi has partnered with Mimi Technologies, creator of a sound processing tech that personalises audio to the individual. This is a new health-based challenge to build custom audio technology that will help people with hearing impairments. As Wareable’s Hugh Langley explained:Īt CES 2018, Bragi announced something it calls Project Ears. Now, it’s aim to help people with hearing impairments. This is the latest device from Bragi, which brought us the Bragi Dash earbuds. You can find out more about Dreamlight at CNET.

CNET’s Ashlee Clark-Thompson reports:Ĭan you relax when there's a pillow wrapped around your head that streams a barrage of ambient noise into your ears and pulses orange light onto your eyelids? I felt more amped than calm when I tried on the Dreamlight, a Bluetooth-connected sleep mask on display on Tuesday at the CES tech show here in Las Vegas. But since those studies are in really small groups, the findings may not hold up.Īlso at CES, and also sleep-related, a gadget called the Dreamlight, a headband which plays white noise and displays lights to guide you. While the Philips headband doesn’t look that comfortable or reliable, small pilot studies on the effect of noise on deep sleep have suggested that it might help older adults achieve better sleep and stronger memory. When deep sleep is detected, the headband’s speakers will start playing white noise in a slowly repeating pattern, which Philips claims will reinforce a good night’s sleep. Then it shares that data with a connected mobile app. Philips just came out with a new headband that plays white noise to help your brain get to sleep.Īlthough Philips’ headband looks like an ill-formed diaper, its weird design attaches built-in sensors to your forehead in order to detect brain activity. ![]() The Verge reported on the headband which detects brain activity and intervenes to help you sleep. ![]() It may not look exactly fashionable, but if it does what it says, this could be an amazing thing. ![]()
