Clearcall

New software out of Israel can improve speech recognition by up to 50% in hearing aids and cochlear implants. Clearcall filters out background noise for users. It was initially developed for cell phones. But Tel Aviv University professor Miriam Furst-Yust adapted the technology as a software add-on for existing hearing aid devices. The software could be available to the public before the end of the year.
