"We were all ears when we heard about
Hearing Birdsong, a beautiful and
immersive new design initiative digitalizing the approach to hearing screening
with an end goal of de-stigmatizing hearing loss. This one hits close to home
since my husband is convinced I’m losing my hearing at too young an age (he
doesn’t know it’s a selective situation). We encourage you to take a break from
your busy day to experience the beta version here. The brainchild of Kennedy
Woods, a social impact architecture and design practice, and Studiomade, a
London-based digital creative agency,
Hearing Birdsong is an immersive,
human-centered design initiative that could transform the way hearing health is
assessed.
Funded by the Design Age Institute, Hearing Birdsong provides users of all
ages with an inspiring, enjoyable way to protect their hearing health and
long-term wellbeing.
Hearing Birdsong connects the user in an immersive digital experience to the
natural environment removing the mechanical, abrasive sounds of a pure tone
hearing test and replaces them with a richly detailed forest soundscape.
Familiar birds call out across rolling thunderstorms, wind-rustled trees and
flowing streams, blending into a dynamic yet calming audio-experience. What’s
even cooler? Sophisticated audio engineering underpins this tranquility."
