Developing the Developing the BEARs virtual reality training package

The BEARs (Both Ears) virtual reality training package is a collection of applications that are being developed for bilateral cochlear implant users.

These applications will provide sound balancing, speech-in-noise and localisation training in the virtual reality world. The team are developing a package by working with teenagers and young adults with cochlear implants, to make sure that the games are useful and fun to play.

This short video (approx. 3 minutes) explains the BEARs project.
