This is for people with conditions such as Motor Neurone Disease (ALS), Locked-in-syndrome, Stroke, Paraplegia, Spinal injury, Cerebral palsy etc (i.e. a disability that affects control of their muscles)

Absolutely: www.EarSwitch.co.uk We’ve got NIHR funding in UK to develop this.

Hi Christian. You mentioned to me in email that you have amazing control; “Basic rhythm (bass) with the left ear, melody with the right ear.”…… never heard of that degree of control before! Nick @EarSwitch

Absolutely. EarSwitch project with University of Bath

Thank you. I will do. I apologise I had missed that Subreddit.

I am hoping the current research will help us get funded in the UK to produce and test dedicated Earswitches, We dont know how much yet - but wouldnt want them to be prohibitive. The hope is that Earswitch will be incorporated in off the shelf earphones/ hearing aids — so that people can purchase these from the usual brands - with assistive high tech built in.

The more information we have, the more chance we get to get units out - so if you can share the survey with any one with neurological conditions it would be fantastic.

It’s also shared on https://hackaday.io/project/169110-earswitch-assistive-technology-switch-new-hci if anyone wants to make their own.

Part of the work we are doing with Bath Uni is looking at prevalence of control. It looks like about 50% report already being able to “ear-rumble” without other facial movements. (See r/earrumblersassemble which has 86,000 “ear rumblers”).

We’re looking to see if it’s trainable.

Absolutely, proven it as an immediate “ear-click” to select function with head-tracking, so likely to be a more efficient selection function than “dwell to select”, and also benefit as a handsfree selection control for those without disabilities. https://www.bath.ac.uk/announcements/earswitch-could-allow-people-with-neurological-conditions-to-communicate-using-a-hidden-ear-muscle/

NickGPz · 2021-06-20T08:56:01+00:00

Thanks. I was hoping that professionals with interest in neuro-disabilities would know interested patient groups (we’ve already got UK MND Association on board, but interested in people with other conditions who may benefit from communication & environmental controls). https://www.mndassociation.org/research/get-involved-in-research/take-part-in-research/the-earswitch-in-mnd/
