New technology may facilitate phone conversations for those
suffering from hearing loss. A recent article published by CNET, discusses how
an IBM research scientist,
Dimitri Kanevsky, who has suffered from hearing loss since the age of 3, has developed a
technology that can help hearing loss
sufferers better communicate.
He utilizes technology that instantly transcribes a phone
conversation and posts the text on a commonly viewable Web site. As the article
states, “Kanevsky and 13 others were honored at the White House in a ceremony
to celebrate
those "leading the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math
for people with disabilities.”
Technological advances occur every
single day, whether it is to help facilitate phone communications, or improve a
hearing aid.
Hearing loss sufferers are day after day able to receive a unit, which will
help in the improvement of their quality of life.
