The idea
Growing up with hearing loss made me want to help others understand what it can sound like. EchoSense lets people explore hearing-loss profiles and share the experience with others.
What I built
I independently coded the website and backend. I added AI-assisted frequency adjustments, customizable profiles that can be shared, and a music section.
Sharing the work
I demonstrated EchoSense to VOICE families. Parents wanted to share it with grandparents to explain their children's experiences. The project was also shared through a podcast reaching more than 100,000 people.
Why it matters to me
This project connects a barrier I have experienced with my interest in coding. Sharing it with families helped me see how an explanation can become a useful tool for understanding each other.
