Team Amplifier’s project is Auditory Modified Perception, a project which will use a Windows 8 Phone and a Bluetooth headset to replace the hearing aids which are generally very expensive. The project will also provide audiometery test, a test that allows you to check your hearing ability, on the phone. It will further expand the project to include a solution which will help examine hearing loss in small children. The results achieved with the Smartphone can then be shared using Windows 8 doctor management system.
