Hearing Aids and Brain Waves

Although it may sound like science-fiction, researchers have had success using brainwaves and artificial intelligence to essentially determine what voice a listener is focused on and amplify that sound. This is a huge development because, while undamaged human ears perform this activity naturally, people dealing with hearing loss have long had difficulty singling out specific voices in a space full of sounds.
While traditional hearing aids can improve the quality of life for a patient in many ways, they are unable to perform this auditory decoding that the brain can do with input from the inner ear structures. https://www.hearinglabschaumburg.com/blog/hearing-aids-and-brain-waves/
