Low Cost Boothless Audiometry

Description

Boothless audiometry is a technology that promises to increase access to hearing examinations in low-income regions. However, there is a need for the technology to be cheaper, more informative, reliable, and easy-to-use to aid audiologists in making more accurate and informed hearing loss diagnoses.

See Written Proposal and Proposal Presentation for detailed description of the project.
