AudioTelligence Expands Assistive Tech Options with Earbud Assistive Listening Case

British company AudioTelligence has announced a new product concept which integrates assistive listening technology into an earbud charging case. Following previous approaches in this direction, with dedicated microphone devices and smartphone integrations, the company is now offering a more attractive option for manufacturers and consumers. The combination of hearing technology with earbud charging provides manufacturers with a comprehensive all-in-one solution for individuals with hearing impairments as well as for anyone who needs to hear clearly in noise.

AudioTelligence launched Orsana, a demonstration device of an assistive listening solution to help users hear clearly in noisy environments, with hearing aids or consumer TWS earbuds. Orsana connects wirelessly to Bluetooth LE Audio enabled earbuds or hearing aids – and can be used by up to 6 people at the same time. The device is available for hearing aid and consumer electronics companies interested in implementing their own assisted listening solutions.

Ambiq introduced the new Ambiq Voice-on-SPOT (VoS) Kit, designed for manufacturers to introduce voice-command into their IoT devices with faster time-to-market. The Ambiq VoS Kit offers a complete, always-on, always-listening, voice-to-cloud solution for local voice commands and/or voice assistant integration in battery-powered connected devices.
