Open Hearing

Our Mission

Open Hearing is a website dedicated to supporting the development of an open-source platform for hearing research. We are committed to open source and believe that in doing so we can accelerate research studies and facilitate translation of novel algorithms into widespread use. Our goal is to lower barriers for hardware and software refinement and facilitate translation of these advances into patient care.

Our core group of developers is comprised of peers at Creare and researchers at Purdue University and at the University of Pittsburg. The development of this platform is supported by a grant from the National Institute of Health in partnership with the National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders (R44DC021123). Tympan has been in development since 2016, TabSINT since 2014. The Auren is the newest addition to this suite of open-source tools we are now bringing together to expand the reach and user base, so we can build a community of researchers able to collaborate freely using low-cost, high-performance hardware and software.
