Audio Compressor for Hearing Impaired - Team Good Vibes Jonah Andres, Jose Belmar, Ethan Cua, Hugo Rivera Garza, Ninos Younadam
Advisor: Professor Barry Dorr, PE - SDSU
Sponsor: San Diego State University
The Audio Compressor is a device that will aid the elderly or hearing impaired by
helping them listen to the loud and soft passages of their audio. The user can listen
to their audio through speakers or headphones. The user will have the option to choose
different audio compression profiles by using a knob to cycle through each profile
and pressing in the knob to select their profile. Each profile will give the user
the ability to customize the dynamic range of their audio. Additionally, there will
be another knob allowing the user to adjust the gain of the audio. There will be an
LED to indicate to the user if their gain adjustment causes audio clipping. The current
status of the system will be displayed to the user through an LCD display on the audio
compressor’s enclosure.
