Did you know that listening to each other is about much more than hearing?<\/em><\/p>\n Technology is currently in use or being developed that can track how, where and when we engage with our surroundings. We often think about using this technology while engaging with our visual world. Yet, access to our hearing world is a necessity when communicating through spoken language. Let\u2019s explore how we can make use of technology to make listening accessible for all.<\/p>\n In the “Access to Listening” Hackathon we are bringing scientists, developers, individuals experiencing problems with speech perception, students and anyone who is excited about being part of a community of thinkers and innovators and enthusiasts together to come up with the next generation of approaches to enhance communication for all.<\/p>\n Interested in thinking out of the box and coming up with awesome ideas of using mainstream technologies for engaged listening?\u00a0Think virtual and augmented reality for engaged listening.<\/p>\n No matter your background, we want you for a day of fun developing non-stigmatizing approaches to hearing loss and other communication problems.<\/p>\n
