The invention aims to enhance the individual experience of shared viewing of audiovisual content displayed by a common device (20) to multiple viewers, typically a television. This individual enhancement is achieved independently for each viewer using personal equipment (30), tailored to their specific disability, so as not to cause inconvenience to other viewers. Each viewer with a disability uses their personal equipment to create a mirrored audiovisual session of the shared device's audiovisual session, obtain a track corresponding to their disability—typically subtitles for the hearing impaired or an audio description—and play this track back to them only, independently of the other viewers. [Fig. 2]

Each individual text stream is displayed on a display screen of the hand-held device. The individual text streams on the hand-held device display are selected by the user to be transmitted as audio signals to the user's hearing aid. Lastly, the selected audio signals are amplified in the user's hearing aid while the non-selected speech streams and noise are attenuated.

In the course of this invention, the inventors have demonstrated that intracellular ATP and mitochondrial membrane potential in cells isolated from hearing-impaired patients with BCAP31 gene mutations are significantly lower than in normal individuals. This finding indicates that hearing-impaired patients with BCAP31 gene mutations have significantly impaired mitochondrial function. Furthermore, increased susceptibility to cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity has also been demonstrated. On the other hand, treatment of lymphoid cell lines from these hearing-impaired patients with stem cell-derived isolated mitochondria has been shown to increase intracellular mitochondrial activity and reduce cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that when stem cell-derived isolated mitochondria are applied to lymphocyte cell lines from hearing-impaired patients with ferredoxin reductase (FDXR) gene mutations, and to fibroblasts from hearing-impaired patients with mitochondrial gene mutations (m.A1555G), intracellular mitochondrial function is also restored. Therefore, the mitochondria according to the present invention can effectively alleviate or treat hereditary hearing loss.
