A clinical trial of Goshawk\u2019s revolutionary new technology, which helps those with hearing loss to hear more clearly on their mobile phone, has shown that 90% of participants found that speech was clearer and easier to understand, thanks to the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trial, which took place over 4 months (between June and September 2018), was overseen by Stephen Griffiths, a leading audiologist on the Isle of Man, and was monitored by Ideas for Ears<\/a>, an independent not-for-profit organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of the 54 participants who took part, 9 out of 10 people agreed that speech was clearer and easier to hear when using the product. One participant reported \u2018using the mobile felt like it did before I had my hearing problems\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt has the potential to dramatically improve mobile phone communication for the millions of hearing-impaired people who currently struggle to hold a telephone conversation.\u201d said Emeritus Professor Brian Moore, of the University of Cambridge, who helped to develop the innovative software for the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
