Smart phone network for hearing impaired
Systems and methods are provided for outputting audible sound processed with a hearing loss compensation algorithm for listening by a user of user smart phone. A method includes receiving live digital micro electrical-mechanical system (MEMs) sound data from a speaker phone. The method further includes processing, at a subscribed user smart phone, the live digital MEMS sound data from the speaker smart phone in accordance with a hearing loss compensation algorithm. The subscribed user smart phone generates and outputs audible sound waves for the live digital for listening by the user of the subscribed user smart phone.
1 . A method comprising:
using a user smart phone having at least one processor for:
receiving, from a speaker smart phone live, digital micro electrical-mechanical system (MEMs) sound data captured by the speaker smart phone and transmitted to the user smart phone via at least a wireless network;
processing the live digital MEMS sound data from the speaker smart phone in accordance with a hearing loss compensation algorithm;
generating audible sound waves for the live digital MEMs sound data processed utilizing the hearing loss compensation algorithm; and
outputting the generated audible sound waves adapted for listening by a user of the user smart phone.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the live digital MEMs sound data is live streamed from the speaker smart phone to the user smart phone.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the live digital MEMs sound data is live streamed via wi-fi from the speaker smart phone to the user smart phone.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a speech to text algorithm generates text for the live digital MEMS sound data.
5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
outputting the generated text for viewing by a user of the user smart phone.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user smart phone has subscribed to receive live digital MEMs sound data from the speaker smart phone.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the speaker smart phone is a smart phone positioned near a live speaker.
8 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a speaker smart phone, live digital micro electrical-mechanical system (MEMs) sound data captured by the speaker smart phone and transmitted at least over a wireless network;
processing the live digital MEMs sound data from the speaker smart phone in accordance with a hearing loss compensation algorithm;
generating audible sound waves for the live digital MEMs sound data processed utilizing the hearing loss compensation algorithm; and
outputting, at a user smart phone, the generated audible sound waves adapted for listening by the user of the user smart phone.
9 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the live digital MEMs sound data is live streamed from the speaker smart phone to the user smart phone.
10 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the live digital MEMs sound data is live streamed via wi-fi from the speaker smart phone to the user smart phone.
11 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein a speech to text algorithm generates text for the live digital MEMS sound data.
12 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising:
outputting the generated text for viewing by a user of the user smart phone.
13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the user smart phone is one of a plurality of user smart phones having subscribed to live digital MEMs sound data from the speaker smart phone.
14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the user smart phone has subscribed to receive live digital MEMs sound data from the speaker smart phone.
15 . A method comprising:
using a user smart phone having at least one processor for:
receiving, by a user smart phone over a wireless cellular network, live digital micro electrical-mechanical system (MEMs) sound data captured by a speaker smart phone;
processing the live digital MEMS sound data from the speaker smart phone in accordance with a hearing loss compensation algorithm;
generating audible sound waves for the live digital MEMs sound data processed utilizing the hearing loss compensation algorithm; and
outputting the generated audible sound waves to a listening device connected to the user smart phone.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein generating the audible sound waves comprises converting the processed live digital MEMs sound data to analog sound waves.
17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the generated audible sound waves are outputted to the listening device using a short range radio frequency.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the short range radio frequency comprises a Bluetooth connection.
19 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising generating text by processing the live digital MEMS sound data using a speech to text algorithm and outputting the text adapted for viewing by a user of the user smart phone.
20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the speech to text algorithm comprises a connectionist temporal classification (CTC) algorithm.
