Auralis

Auralis turns an audiogram into a guided listening comparison, helping families hear how communication, distance and background sounds can affect everyday conversation.

Inspiration

For a long time, I have been thinking about how to help the family of a person with hearing loss understand the real problems that person faces. This project grew from that idea.

The inspiration comes from my work in audiology, where I meet people who live with hearing loss as well as their families.

What it does

The layer built during Build Week guides the user through a situation as heard by a person with healthy hearing and compares it with the same situation from the perspective of a person with hearing loss.

The application journey is designed specifically for family members, so they can better imagine the difficulty their loved one is dealing with.

How I built it

I developed the project in close cooperation with ChatGPT and the Codex app.

I gradually locked down the architecture, which I had been building from the first day of my registration for Build Week, before the official submission period began.

When Build Week officially started, I began creating and building the complete system, as can be seen through my session ID.

Challenges I ran into

In general, I often have a problem with projects growing beyond their original scope. You always think of another improvement, and the architecture gradually starts to break down as more layers are added.

This time, I managed to keep the scope locked, but I ran into a relatively restrictive deadline that became quite tight for me.

The frontend and the overall execution of the system could and should be more than one level better.

Creating a video for my product was also a challenge, and the result should definitely be more than one level further developed.

Accomplishments that I’m proud of

I managed to build the entire project on time and get it genuinely working, document it, maintain the scope, and keep everything within clearly locked boundaries.

I may have layered the architecture more than would have been ideal, but overall, I am proud of the product.

What I learned

I am essentially learning all the time.

Development in the Codex app and ChatGPT app is moving very quickly, and I am very glad that projects like this help me stay up to date.

What’s next for Auralis

The project should be much broader, with many more options, and it should also include scene generation through GPT Image 2.0.

Ideally, GPT Realtime could be used, for example, to transform ordinary communication into an illustrative hearing-loss perspective.

The entire second branch for a person with hearing loss is also still missing. It would help them explore what better correction might feel like, potentially using, for example, the hearing-health functionality of AirPods Pro.

It would also be possible and useful to present options for correcting hearing loss, different hearing-aid brands, and many other possibilities.
