Drumhead, the thinnest hearing aid can enable humans to hear like cats

Technology

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University in the United States are developing a device that can significantly improve the hearing abilities of humans.

The device is called drumhead. It is a thin device capable of receiving and transmitting signals across a radio frequency.

The frequency range is much greater than what humans can hear naturally.

The device could change the future of communications and sensory devices as it is super thin and very effective.

Future devices based on this technology will enable humans to hear sounds outside their normal frequency range.

Other animals such as the house cat or beluga whale display the properties of a wider audio frequency detection range.

They are able to hear sounds that hearing people cannot due to physical limitations.

However, researchers are hoping that drumhead will change that in the near future.

Ask Bhavna

Hi, I'm Bhavna Sharma. An Inclusion Strategist with Newz Hook. Yes, I am a person with disability. But that doesn't define who I am. I am a youth, a woman and also the 1st Miss Disability of India 2013. I wanted to achieve something in life and I have been working for the last 9 years. I have recently completed my MBA in Human Resources because I want to grow. I am like every other young person in India. I want a good education, a good job and I want to help my family financially. So you can see I am like everyone else, yet people see me differently.

Here is the Ask Bhavna column for you where I would like to talk to you about the law, society and people's attitudes and how we can build inclusion in India together.

So, if you have a question about any issue related to disability, bring them out and I can try to answer them? It could be a question relating to a policy or of a personal nature. Well, this is your space to find the answers!
