In honor of World Listening Day tomorrow, we’d like to highlight hearing aids—the leading-edge technology (or “superpower,” as many hearing aid wearers like to call it)—that continually evolves to make better hearing and communicating easier than ever.
Case in point, Genesis AI hearing aids.
Matthew Fitzgerald, PhD, assistant professor of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery at Stanford University, stated that the no. 1 complaint patients tell their hearing care professionals is that they struggle to hear speech in background noise. (Not surprised, right?)
This is where Genesis AI hearing aids come in to save the day—with the superpower to zero-in on the voice closest to you (for example, the person you’re speaking with) while turning the focus away from the louder sounds around you.
Picture it: You’re sitting at a restaurant with a friend, but right next to the kitchen. The sounds of dishes clattering, doors bursting open, and other patrons chattering quickly become your auditory backdrop. But you no longer have anything to fear, because Genesis AI will automatically (or manually, your choice) swoop in and suppress the background noise while enhancing the voice of the person you’re speaking with.
But wait—the best has become even better
That’s how Genesis AI hearing aids defeat that bad-news background noise while you’re sitting—but what about situations when you’re moving from one area to another (indoors or outdoors), not necessarily knowing what’s ahead or what sounds you’ll experience from second to second?
Let’s say you’re walking down a bustling street with an ever-changing soundscape of light winds, car engines, barking dogs, a biker ringing their bell, and so on. In the past, hearing aids would have had to battle extra hard to figure out what you do and don’t want to hear, and act accordingly.
Not anymore. Genesis AI are designed to give you better situational awareness. This means that whether you’re sitting in one space or moving from one place (or situation) to another, these cutting-edge devices fight the good fight to help you maintain your best hearing, awareness, and safety—every step or sit of the way. Revving engines, celebrating patrons, singing joggers (yep, we can hear you, too), questionable DJ selections—bring it on.
