Siemens’ smart hearing aids, recently introduced at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, promise to make the world more accessible for many people who are deaf or have hearing loss.
The new easyTek™ aids are more like sophisticated wearables than traditional aids. Rather than simply amplifying sound, they gauge one’s personal sound environment and focus on the most important noises – reducing background chatter and increasing the volume of an individual speaking to you in a one-to-one conversation in a busy room, for example.
