TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

About the SEEAR application

The inner ear is a fascinating and complex biological system. It is so complex that creating a traditional mathematical model is practically impossible. But without such a model, real time accurate visualization would not be feasible. Solving this puzzle required a radically different approach.

We used digital signal processing to represent the behavior of the human cochlea with great accuracy. In the same way that digital algorithms are used to create realistic videogames, our SEEAR technology permits a realistic visualization of the auditory system.

Welcome to the digital age for audiology!
