Adaptive Monitor System for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Musicians (Ongoing Research)
Research question
What happens when musical systems are designed around different ways of hearing?
System design
An adaptive monitoring concept for Deaf and hard-of-hearing musicians in rehearsal and live performance.
Method
Frame needs through participatory research, then connect different modes of hearing and sensing to configurable monitoring responses.
Initial finding
The project has established its research question, participant focus, and initial system direction.
Next validation
Conduct co-design sessions with musicians and build the first testable monitoring prototype.
An ongoing project investigating how performers with different hearing conditions experience monitoring, rehearsal, and musical interaction, and exploring adaptive audio systems based on their needs.
