The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Hearing Enhancement (RERC-HE) is a national project funded by the United States Department of Education, National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services (OSERS). The objective of the project is to conduct research, development, and training programs that promote technological solutions to problems confronting people with hearing loss. This mission is addressed by:
- improving assessment, fitting, availability and use of hearing technologies
- increasing the quality, availability, and knowledge of AR services
- training of consumers, service providers, and future researchers, developers and practitioners
- transferring technology and knowledge to agencies, standards bodies, consumers, and the professions that can subsequently influence the communicative effectiveness of those who are deaf or hard of hearing
