Hear Birds Again
Our current “pet project” is disability-related in that addresses age-related high frequency hearing loss, which makes it difficult if not impossible for older bird enthusiasts to hear the high-pitched songs of birds. To remedy this situation, we are developing Hear Birds Again, an iOS application for mobile devices that will lower the pitch of high singers into the range where the user’s hearing is still intact, thereby allowing users to once again enjoy the uplifting songs of wild birds.

Future Projects
We are entertaining a number of project possibilities, including the following:
- Frogs and Toads of North America
- Common Birds and Their Songs
- Birding by Habitat
- Voices of the Night (a fully-binaural audio experience)
