Abstract:
Aspects relate to computer implemented methods and systems for monitoring a user's hearing and comprehension. The methods and systems include receiving, by an audio capture device, a first audio input, receiving, by the audio capture device, a second audio input, converting the first and second audio inputs into respective first and second audio signals, transmitting said first and second audio signals to a remote resource, transcribing the first and second audio signals into respective first and second transcriptions, analyzing, by a processor of the remote resource, the first and second transcriptions to determine if a content of the second transcription is related to a content of the first transcription, and recording the analysis to track a hearing and comprehension ability of the user.
