A device, system and related methods to provide assessment and treatment of amblyaudia through standardized methods that do not require advanced training or a booth with loudspeakers for the operator to administer. The ARIA stimuli protocols for both assessment and treatment, encoded in or to be used by a software program or application, are transferred to a stand-alone set of specialized noise-cancelling headphones attached or connected to, wired or wirelessly, a software platform on an electronic computing device. or integrated with the headphones. The program administers assessment tests to individuals through the noise-cancelling earphones. The device enables someone with minimal instructions to administer automatically or semi-automatically both assessment and treatment protocols, generate results, make interpretations, store data, and produce reports. The device or system may be loaded with standard protocols for English-speaking individuals, as well as dichotic speech material in any language.

A stereo sound pickup method and apparatus, a terminal device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes configuring a terminal device to record a video, wherein the terminal device comprises a plurality of microphones, configuring the plurality of microphones to capture a sound, and forming a stereo beam based on the captured sound. The stereo beam is related to a video recording scenario of the terminal device, and the video recording scenario includes a posture of the terminal device and usage of a camera, the posture includes that the terminal device is in a landscape mode or a portrait mode, and the usage of the camera includes that a rear-facing camera is used or a front-facing camera is used.

One embodiment provides a method comprising determining stimuli for simultaneously exciting a plurality of speakers within a spatial area. The method further comprises simultaneously exciting the plurality of speakers by providing the stimuli to the plurality of speakers at the same time for reproduction. The method further comprises recording, during the reproduction, one or more measurements of sound arriving at one or more microphones within the spatial area. The method further comprises simultaneously deconvolving a plurality of impulse responses of the plurality of speakers based on the stimuli and the one or more measurements.

Examples of an aiding device for singers are described. The aiding device comprises a body that has a periphery edge, a top wall and a smooth inner wall. The top wall curves away from the periphery edge thus forming a cup-like cavity which is shaped to define a first chamber and a second chamber that are interconnected together. The first chamber is shaped and sized to fit over an earlobe of a singer while the second chamber has a distal end that is designed and configured to be positioned in proximity to a user's mouth. When in use the first chamber encloses one of user's ears and the distal end of the second chamber is positioned in proximity to user's mouth with the periphery edge pressed against user's face such that a sound produced by the user is captured and travels into the second and first chamber and is reflected back from the smooth inner wall producing echo within the cavity. Thus, the unfiltered sound coming out from the singer's mouth is provided to one of the singer's ear in real time and hear the original sound or key in the other ear so that the singer can match his/her pitch to the original sound.

A method, system, server and device are disclosed. According to one or more embodiments, a server is provided. A first audio track is received which includes first audio originating from a premises client at a premises location. A second audio track is received which includes second audio originating from a remote client. A first pan angle is determined for the first audio track and a second pan angle is determined for the second audio track. The second pan angle is different from the first pan angle. A stereo composite track is generated based on the first pan angle and the second pan angle, where the stereo composite track includes the first audio track and the second audio track.

Some implementations of the disclosure relate to using a model trained on mixing console data of sound mixes to automate the process of sound mix creation. In one implementation, a non-transitory computer-readable medium has executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising: obtaining a first version of a sound mix; extracting first audio features from the first version of the sound mix obtaining mixing metadata; automatically calculating with a trained model, using at least the mixing metadata and the first audio features, mixing console features; and deriving a second version of the sound mix using at least the mixing console features calculated by the trained model.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for proactive encounter scanning is executed on a computing device and includes obtaining encounter information of a patient encounter. The encounter information is proactively processed to determine if the encounter information is indicative of one or more medical conditions and to generate one or more result set. The one or more result sets are provided to the user.

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for modulating external sounds to reflect the acoustic effects of virtual objects in a mixed-reality environment is provided. The present invention may include creating a knowledge corpus, recording a sound effect occurring externally to a mixed-reality environment experienced by a user operating the mixed-reality device; identifying one or more objects within the mixed-reality environment, including at least one virtual object; modulating the sound effect based on the knowledge corpus to simulate one or more acoustic effects of the one or more objects within the MR environment; and playing the modulated sound effect to the user.

Array microphone systems and methods that can automatically focus and/or place beamformed lobes in response to detected sound activity are provided. The automatic focus and/or placement of the beamformed lobes can be inhibited based on a remote far end audio signal. The quality of the coverage of audio sources in an environment may be improved by ensuring that beamformed lobes are optimally picking up the audio sources even if they have moved and changed locations.

A recording device provides bystander-centric privacy controls for authorizing the storage of a bystander's identifying information (e.g., video or audio recordings of the bystander). Before a recording device can store identifying information of bystanders, the bystanders may indicate to the recording device whether they authorize the storage. If the bystanders do not authorize the storage, the recording device may modify the identifying information captured by sensors, such as a video camera or a microphone, such that the identity of the non-authorizing bystander is not identifiable through the modified identifying information. Thus, bystanders are given increased agency over whether they want to be recorded. Further, if the bystanders do not want to be recorded, sensor data that may identify them is modified by the recording device to prevent unwanted exposure of their identity in recorded content.
