OrCam Hear enables people with hearing loss to follow a conversation even in noisy environments. Artificial intelligence combines audio processing with lip reading to identify and isolate the voice of the person who is speaking, while suppressing all other sounds. The device consists of an elegant, shield-shaped pendant which is worn around the neck and can be connected via Bluetooth either to in-ear headphones or to a hearing aid.
Statement by the Jury
This hearing system looks like a timeless piece of jewellery. The camera lens is harmoniously integrated into the overall design and thus has a very discreet look.
