At first, an in-ear phone and language translator, while useful, might not seem compelling. But take things a bit further. This relies on a mini-computer and connection to the internet in the hearing aid. What if that allowed you to connect to Chat-GPT? Or future more powerful versions of it. That might be more compelling. Sci-fi has often envisioned cyborgs in the future. Maybe one day people will look back at stuff like this and think it was the first baby steps of that technology.
Can it help with the constant noise I take in all the time. Nothing is wrong with my hearing I just hear it all and can’t focus on someone talking to me if something else is louder no matter what I do.

Decided to order a set. I thought they were standard ear plugs. Looks like these had some engineering behind them.
Yeah I’m really tempted to, I just don’t have the funds at the moment. Let me know what you think!
I think it’s hilarious that one of the advertised features is basically keeping your sanity when you have a newborn.
It’s interesting so far. Not sure if you are in the US or not but recently the whole country had a test of our emergency system. It was super uncomfortable even with them on but I’d have to imagine it would have been worse if wasn’t wearing them.
Also losing the “ability” to hear every small noise around me is rather off putting but in a way…peaceful?
That’s a sign of attention deficit, talk to a doctor and you can probably get help.
I only started talking to my doctor about having issues with just that. Had no idea that was a potential sign
