Mimi Sound Personalization (for Chrome)

Kenneth Corwin

I am proud to have worked on this product! I believe it has potential to improve the experience of many people. Working with Chrome APIs is definitely a challenge and their documentation could be much better. We had to figure out what is allowed or not allowed via trial and error.

Hi-Hallöchen-Привіт, Hunters Community! I’m Kary, a passionate Product Mind at Mimi, and the one who heavily supported the team to go above and beyond and finally hit the ‘release’ button 😅 In a world of one-size-fits-all audio, we asked, 'What if we could make personalized, tuned to hearing sound accessible to everyone? Imagine enjoying music with exquisite details or getting lost in captivating movies without cranking up the volume…’ This fueled our journey to create the Mimi Sound Personalization for Chrome. Built upon a solid foundation of rigorous scientific research and technical innovation, our Chrome extension is elegantly simple. And I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you to our Mimi universe, where sound is as unique as YOU are, and it's just a few clicks away. This feels like an experience worth trying, doesn't it? If yes, please click the link above ⬆️⬆️⬆️ I genuinely want to hear your thoughts, and yes, especially your critiques, as they are what propel our product to greater heights, making it even better for you. P.S. Please don’t hesitate to transfer your love in upvotes 🖤

Way back in 2012 before founding Mimi Hearing technologies, I was experimenting with (the now discontinued) Google Native Client as a method of performing the number crunching required for real-time audio DSP in the browser. The goal was to make an accessibility tool for people with different forms of hearing limitations to understand their content a little better, or help them to reduce the listening effort somewhat. The implementations that I was experimenting with back then were a little clumsy. How would it be delivered to the user? Maybe a kind of proxy site where users could paste a link to a video they wanted to hear better? I can’t remember all of the technical details now, but capturing audio streams and then manipulating them and replaying them from within a browser was tricky to say the least, and would have involved many clunky steps for the user. Fast forward to now and we have the modern and stable Web Audio API for handling audio streams, and all of the advances in web assembly (WASM) and the tooling that goes along with it to make the number-crunching possible. This all allows us to make a much more seamless tool that helps unobtrusively in the background. What I couldn’t have envisioned so clearly a decade ago was where Mimi would be today. With all of Mimi’s expertise in hearing testing, parameter fitting to unique hearing capabilities, and the ability to log this plugin into our ecosystem, we can really give the best possible individually tailored experience for consuming audio content on the web. I’m proud of all of the professionals on the team who managed to deliver this and am overjoyed at seeing it become a reality. I can’t wait to discover how people end up using it and the value it brings.
