5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study incorporates data collection to aid in development of software features related to physical activity for users of ear-worn devices.
Detailed Description
This exploratory study involves data collection of adults performing physical activities and activities of daily living for the purpose of comparing data collected by the ear-worn device under test and established gold standard/reference devices and consumer electronic devices. Data collected will be used in the development of software features related to physical activities to benefit the experience of ear-worn device users.
