When, will the Typan Earpice be available again?
- At this time we have a batch of earpieces we are reserving for future development, but may be available at a later date.
- Yes, the speechmap (pg47) and related sections may be of interest n the Verifit manual.
Just throwing out possible resources you might be interested in. Here is an online site for training audiologists: Audiology CEUs | All Courses | AudiologyOnline
I believe there are some free seminars in there.
Looking at the Rev D getting started guide it looks like the only hardware I need is headphone and microphone with 1/8" stereo plugs. Is there a “special” combination of headphone with stereo mics that might be useful? If not what would be recommended for input microphone(s)?
@winksaville
Some good news!
It turns out the bluetooth module is available, at least for a little while.
Also, I just sent out a quote for a short run of Tympan Rev E, which will allow me to produce a few extra for sale to folks like you.
The lead time on having units in stock is probably 60 days or so. 90 max.
Would you be interested in purchasing one?
Definitely want a Rev E, how can I reserve one and will it come with the Bluetooth module?
@winksaville
You just reserved one!
Seriously, there is a ‘back in stock’ notification button at the top of the product page.
Sign up for that and when the Rev E is ready to ship you will get an email notification.
Great, I’ve subscribed!
Hello all, I already had a Rev D but it quit working. Would like to buy rev E to start a class and educate young enthusiasts (10 pieces minimum). When should I expect to have them available for purchase?
Best,
S.
Is it possible to order a Typman Rev. E for me?
While I am still some distance away from retirement, today my doctor advised me to consider using hearing aids, especially in specific environments like restaurants and meetings. How well does Typman perform in these situations?
By the other side, I am an electronic engineer from Spain who is passionate about the open-source philosophy, and I would be proud to contribute to this project in some way. If there’s a way to view ongoing discussions, perhaps I can choose a topic to get involved with.
On another note, I’ve been researching hearing aids in the market and I’m quite surprised by their high prices, making them inaccessible to a significant portion of the population. Supporting the development of such equipment or making them affordable for everyone would be a meaningful project for me.
@Serdark Welcome to the Tympan forum.
Super excited that you want to use Tympan to educate.
Where are you teaching?
We are targeting this fall for initiating a production run. I should know more about timing in October.
Any new product that we will have will be the Rev E version.
@Pepe
We hope to have Rev E for sale this Fall.
Please note that the Tympan is what is known as a ‘Master Hearing Aid’, which is a hardware platform for research and development of audio algorithms for hearing aids. Tympan is not an actual hearing aid, per se.
Hi Biomurph and all,
I teach Medtech -1 and -2 classes at a major university on the east coast. I plan to use the RevE for a special hearing aid for people with selective frequency hearing loss. A simple amplifier would not work for them.
Please updste me on the availability of the boards as I will need at least 10 boards and more in time.
Regards,
S.
Dear all,
Any update on the status of the Rev E platform availability? Just to let you know, my application does not need the 3D printed enclosure; all I need sre the assembled boards loaded with firmware.
Please provide a tentative plan as to when you expect to have the boards available.
Kindest regards,
Serdar
@Serdark
Sorry for the delay in reply.
First, we don’t have any Rev E in stock. Sorry about that.
Good news!
We are going to be running a production of Tympan Rev E this fall.
Part of what we are doing is updating the hardware to make it more robust, along with moving to a new Bluetooth module. There are other changes to make it more compatible with parallel projects, but that is something that you would not notice for your application.
I am noting your request for 10 Tympan Rev E.
When you say you would be interested in ‘more in time’, what do you mean? Do you have a timeline and quantity?
Hi Bio,
I surely will start with 10 platforms, to be used by the people/learners in a small group. In time we would need more as the interest grows, but I am unable to state a definite number. Just as a guesstimate I would say about 10 more in 1Q24. Also, one of the revD platforms I have died recently. So I would buy 12 as the initial purchase, instead of 10 to keep 2 as spares.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Serdar
P.S. I can live without BLE for now. The immediate app will be shifting a frequency band for those who have selective frequency hearing loss.
Sorry, one more note: I will be happy to acquire the platforms without the 3D printed plastic enclosures. They will be used in a lab environment on ESD protected benches.
Regards,
S.
@Serdark
OK, this is good information.
All the Tympans will ship in cases with batteries, as that is the workflow that we have here.
I am sorry to hear that your Rev D is not working.
Do you have any insight or thoughts as to why it may not be working?
I did not take the time to troubleshoot but the trouble started as the platform not booting (randomly). Then a second issue popped up and the platform decided not to load the code. Eventually the PC was unable to recognize it. In the meantime a different revD continued to operate with the same PC and USB cord normally.
Sorry, do not have more data to share.
Best,
S.
Hi biomuph,
Thanks for your answer, just for my understanding…
Which level of development has Rev E? Is there any firmware already? Should it be program in low level like C? I mean, it is still needed to define the compression algorithm and the configuration for each user? If this is the case, I guess there are also open libraries, isn’t it?
Kind regards,
Pepe
