HICAS: Hearing Impairment Communication Assistive System with the Extraction Search Network
Hearing impairment (HI) is a chronic condition that often leads to communication barriers. This makes it especially hard for those with HI to seek healthcare services for their condition, worsening it. The World Health Organization estimates that there are more than 1.5 billion people who suffer from hearing impairment, and the number is projected to increase to almost 2.5 billion by 2050.
