System Overview
The Sound Sense Vibe consists of four major components:
Microphone array Signal Conditioning Unit Microcontroller & Software Vibrating motor array
![Page 9: The Sound Sense Vibe](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814e4a550346895dbbcd38/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
System overview
Microphones capture the audio
Signal Conditioning Circuit (pre-amp and amp) prepares signal for A/D converter
Microcontroller A/D converter digitizes signal
Software determines whether motor should be activated or not
Microcontroller Output port activates/deactivates motor

Signal Acquisition
Four unidirectional microphones Noise filtering Pre-Amplification Output signal 0.7 V
![Page 12: The Sound Sense Vibe](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814e4a550346895dbbcd38/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Signal Conditioning
Amplification Output is from -2.5V to 2.5V
Level shifting Output is from 0 V to 5 V
Variable resistor Variable DC offset Enhanced stability Ensures proper output shifting
![Page 13: The Sound Sense Vibe](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814e4a550346895dbbcd38/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Signal Processing
10 KHz sampling rate Approximate signal
integration to find signal power for a fixed window
Use this power and a threshold to determine if a motor should be on/off during window period

pulse bandwidth Current limiting resistor Diode preventing startup
spikes.

Cochlear implants
Direct connection between nerve endings in the brain and the hearing aid.
Advantages: Users can regain the ability to
understand speech Device completely bypasses possibly
damaged inner ear and cochlea works Even in cases of profound
deafness MobileDisadvantages: Very expensive ($60,000+). Requires rehab to refamiliarize user
with sounds Cannot fully reproduce sounds Only some deaf people are suitable
candidates.

Hearing Aids
Amplifies sound for the ear most common device for the hearing
impaired.
Advantages: compensates for the gradual decay of
hearing widely available Mobile
Disadvantages: Cannot help those with profound
deafness Still moderately expensive ($300+)
![Page 19: The Sound Sense Vibe](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814e4a550346895dbbcd38/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Alert Devices
Alarm triggers receiver which notifies user via vibration or lights.
Advantages: Fairly Cheap Ensures the user is alerted to
specific events
Disadvantages: Non-mobile (limited to the
domicile) Requires replacement of existing
doorbells/fire alarms/alarm clocks
![Page 20: The Sound Sense Vibe](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814e4a550346895dbbcd38/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Multi-Purpose Alert Devices
Programmable to recognize certain noises and alerts user.
Advantages: Priced between hearing aids and general alert devices Can be trained to recognize events for alerting Mobile
Disadvantages: Rare (not available anywhere on market in large volumes) Can be difficult to setup

Cost
The total cost of all components in our project was ~$300 (see budget for more info)
Final miniaturized version should still be sub $500
Comparable to a hearing aid
![Page 22: The Sound Sense Vibe](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814e4a550346895dbbcd38/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Market
Our product fits into a unique area not covered by any competing products
TARGET: profoundly deaf not suitable for hearing aids cannot afford cochlear implants not suitable patients for the
surgery. Workers in high noise
environments (Airport tarmac workers, etc.)

What Was Learned
Plan Carefully Test early and
frequently Integration never
works the first time Even simple signal
processing can be difficult
![Page 26: The Sound Sense Vibe](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814e4a550346895dbbcd38/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Future Work
Add calibration UI Better positional
performance Miniaturization Better armband for
comfort and feedback prevention

Conclusions
Accomplished a lot in a small amount of time Heavy limitations in terms of time and resources Good proof of concept device performs what we
hoped it would Project provided a good combination of
disciplines: electronics, real-time embedded programming, signal processing, usability
