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.
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?
