Listen Later

Host Andrew Bellavia welcomes Eric McLaughlin, VP and GM of Wireless Solutions at Intel's Client Computing Group, and Arnaud Pierres, Senior Director of Product and Ecosystem Enablement, to discuss Intel's initiatives for supporting individuals who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing on Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD).

Eric and Arnaud delve into Intel's efforts to enable direct connectivity between PCs and hearing aids using Bluetooth LE Audio technology. They showcase a live demo of how users can easily pair their hearing aids with a laptop, adjust settings like ambient sound levels, and switch between presets directly from the PC. The Intel Evo program, which co-engineers with hearing aid manufacturers to ensure high-quality experiences, is also highlighted.
Additionally, they discuss the potential of AI on Intel PCs to enhance accessibility further, such as real-time American Sign Language translation and contextual awareness to alert users to external sounds or events. The conversation emphasizes Intel's commitment to improving the lives of everyone, including those with hearing challenges, through innovative technologies and collaboration with industry partners.
