What Impact Is Artificial Intelligence Having on Hearing Aids?

From crafting the perfect email to advancing medical research, it’s no wonder that AI has begun to take over a lot of menial tasks that we once spent hours executing ourselves. It’s gone from a far-fetched science fiction dream to a feature that’s now equipped in our smartphones – and our hearing aids. 

Your first thought of hearing aids might be the clunky devices that your parents or grandparents used to wear, but thankfully, today’s hearing aids are sleek and more powerful in both design and functionality. 

AI in hearing aids has made some giant leaps for personalization of hearing treatment and curating a unique hearing experience for your needs, but how exactly does it change how you hear the life you love? 

Artificial Intelligence, Natural Hearing 

Even in its infancy, AI has proven itself to be capable of some amazing things, whether that be in the realm of hearing aids or elsewhere in science. AI brings its power to machine learning in hearing aids, enhancing sound processing within the devices for a more personalized listening experience. 

Imagine you’re going from a quiet working space (your home, the office, a co-working space) to meet your friends for dinner and drinks at a restaurant. This restaurant will be a completely different listening environment to the hushed working environment! 

With the power of AI sound processing, your hearing aids will adjust your programming automatically, so you will continue to hear at your best without interruption or feeling overwhelmed from the sudden new noises. 

AI can provide some quick and lasting relief by adjusting your devices for you so that you don’t have to fiddle with them behind your ear or on your phone, and your experience is as close to natural hearing as possible. 

The Device Is a Tool, Not a Solution 

While hearing aids and artificial intelligence can provide massive benefits to your hearing health, all technology needs a human touch to perform at its best. 

Your hearing aids need hearing care to work at their best for your needs; much like how eyeglasses to correct sight work best with a professional’s prescription, hearing devices need to be tailored for your unique needs. That’s where we come in. 

Partnered with gold-standard hearing healthcare from a team of professionals, your hearing aids will help you thrive in any situation.  

Guided by an audiologist’s expert advice, as well as ongoing support and quick help when needed, your hearing health will be optimized with utmost care.
