EchoVille: Listening Training Adventure

Due to long-term hearing loss, those hearing-impaired’s ability to process sounds diminishes over time. Children with hearing impairments are found to face considerable communication challenges in about 10%-20% of situations, even with the assistance of hearing aids. This project aims to design an intelligent product that incorporates training game in simulated scenarios to help hearing-impaired children practice their sound differentiation and pronunciation skills, enabling them to communicate more effectively with others.
