Characterizing In-the-Wild Personal Listening Device Use to Inform Earable Application Design
Supraja Ramesh, Jonas Hummel, Silvia Becker +6
Ear-worn devices are evolving from audio-playback tools into sensing platforms for health, interaction, and context-awareness. Yet, earable systems are typically designed and evalu…
CHOMP: Multimodal Chewing Side Detection with Earphones
Jonas Hummel, Maximilian Burzer, Felix Schlotter +6
Chewing side preference (CSP) has been identified both as a risk factor for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and behavioral manifestation. Despite TMDs affecting roughly one third…
EarXplore: An Open Research Database on Earable Interaction
Jonas Hummel, Tobias Röddiger, Valeria Zitz +6
Interaction with sensor-augmented earphones, referred to as earables or hearables, represents a major area of earable research. Proximate to the head and reachable by hand, earable…
Heatables: Effects of Infrared-LED-Induced Ear Heating on Thermal Perception, Comfort, and Cognitive Performance
Valeria Zitz, Michael Küttner, Jonas Hummel +3
Maintaining thermal comfort in shared indoor environments remains challenging, as centralized HVAC systems are slow to adapt and standardized to group norms. Cold exposure not only…
