Cochlear and CHE Proximity have released Hearprint, an online application which calibrates online video and music to the listener’s unique hearing ability.

Based on a series of user inputs, Hearprint works by adjusting audio frequencies so they are tailored to the listener’s ability to hear. It then calibrates online content to the viewer’s ears.

Users can then download the software as a Google Chrome extension, which allows them to hear all online films, TV shows and music with their unique sound calibration.
