Simeon Exhibits at 2026 Arizona Speech Language and Hearing Conference

An Audiologist said something funny to me last month.  We were at the

 and I was demonstrating the quality of Auracast through my Oticon Intent hearing aids . . . and she said my voice sounded better through Auracast than coming live from my mouth.  I wasn’t sure how to take that, but it reaffirmed for me that the sound quality coming from the Audita III mics through Auracast to the Oticon hearing aids, indeed has incredible clarity.  And improving speech intelligibility is the whole point.  That was very high praise for Auracast.

One other noteworthy idea came from the ArSHA conference.  A Speech Pathologist supporting students with Autism shared that a few of her students are overstimulated by sound and wear noise-cancelling headphones in the classroom, but then can’t hear the teacher.  I shared with her that there are now over-the-ear noise-cancelling headphones that can do that job and still connect to Auracast so the student can at least hear the teacher’s voice and the voices from classmates using the Simeon pass-around mics, all with appropriate volume.  And her response was enthusiastic; the Simeon Audita III may in fact be the perfect solution for this situation.  

Since it doesn’t involve hearing loss, case studies with Autism Spectrum do not come up regularly in my conversations with Audiologists, but in fact it’s an innovative use-case for Auracast and the Simeon Audita III.  I would love feedback from the Audiology and Speech Language community on this idea.  In the meantime, I’m boarding the red-eye and thinking I’m getting a bit too old to take flights at this hour.
