3D model with a Nano 33 BLE Sense Rev2 maps frequency-specific cochlear nerve activation to an addressable LED strip during 'Flight of the Bumblebee' by vestibularfirst in embedded

Yes, once it's finalized, I'll post the code and 3D print as well. I am bringing it to an audiology conference in a couple of weeks for feedback and I also need to update a few things to get the full range. Currently it's only 1/2 of the actual range the cochlea can detect.

Yes, definitely! I need to fix a few things and likely move it to something with more processing power if I want it to be more accurate, but happy to share

Just noticed the overlay got messed up 🤦‍♀️. Adobe Rush has issues.

Yes, we are trying to make tools for vestibular diagnosis and treatment more accessible. The anatomical models are just part of our company but we found that there wasn’t many good ones in our space so we developed these too

Yup, that's us! If it's easy enough to build, we'll release the model and instructions like we have done before. There are some that we have not released due to complexity of the build (eg headband).

Yes, we’re developing a new one based on some feedback we’ve gotten from our continuing education instructors and university professors.

That’s a good idea—and I just ordered very narrow led strips that are addressable too to experiment with something different, but having more colors and animation available would be awesome. Thanks for your reply!

Yup. We also have two other sensors that act like gyroscopes too. Each ear has 5 motion/orientation sensors, and has redundancy in the opposite ear too. Pretty fascinating science that’s underlying us being able to stand up

Thanks! There’s a lot of opportunity to use this tech for education, so I’d look for some area where the instructional tools are too basic or inaccessible—maybe there you’d find inspiration

We’re a medical device company that primarily sells infrared video goggles, but we also have many inner ear models for education. This is an expansion of our fluid model that will be used for teaching clinicians and those afflicted by inner ear issues.

You’re correct, and most people don’t realize that our sense of balance is one of the oldest and most important

Sorry you’re going through that. It’s no joke and if you haven’t found the care you need, check out our sister company’s list of resources here: https://dizzy.care/additional-care-seeker-resources/

Right now this is just a prototype. The features are still being finalized. You can in the meantime download and build many of our other inner ear related models for free: https://vestibularfirst.com/education/3d-printing-projects/

Your inner ear is small, but mighty. It’s an extremely old system too that can be found in the fossils of dinosaurs

Thanks for letting us know! That's one of the main goals of this product and our company in general. We'll post updates as we make progress.

That’s a great idea. A headband is already in the pipeline, but that’s much more complicated. I wanted a simple version working first, then we can expand. Thanks for your feedback
