Comparing the Performance of a Novel-BCI-Based Headset with a Conventional Hearing Aid While Watching TV
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 2 (2024) pp. 436-443
Abstract
Nowadays, TV viewership and watching time are increasing rapidly. Many organizations now allow employees to watch the news in the recreation hall during official hours to stay updated. This investigation focuses on the comparison of nano-porous membrane sensitivity-loss compensation (support for hearing) with a novel brain-computer interface (BCI)-based hearing headset, while watching television. The hearing headset has a thought-based navigation of the hearing volume of the opponent’s voice. The hearing aid is already chosen based on the audiometry test. The novel BCI-based hearing headset provides a supplement of voice to one ear at a time similar to a hearing aid. Twenty impaired people were tested using both a hearing aid and BCI-based hearing headset and their responses were noted. Questions were asked individually in between watching TV. The responses were recorded in terms of percentage. The number of patients per group was predicted at a ‘G’ power of 80%. The results revealed that users with a novel BCI-based hearing headset outperformed those with a regular hearing aid. A statistical significance of < 0.001 was obtained while comparing the two categories. The proposed novel BCI-based hearing headset improved the membrane sensitivity-loss compensation performance of listening by 18.25% more than with the use of a regular hearing aid.
