Hearing Health is being Built into the Tech Industry

The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) reveals innovation in new products and possible trends that are set for the future. The 2021 trade show focused on inclusive tech, which encourages everyone to actively participate in life. 

The significance of this is being able to provide access to others. Healthy hearing paves the way for people to enjoy and fully participate in what matters, and those who matter to them, in their lives. For example:

• Forming stronger relationships with loved ones.
• Lowering the risks of social isolation, which can lead to loneliness and depression.
• Improves better physical, mental, and emotional health. 
• Helps with communication skills that are needed in the work environment, which can impact earnings.
• Keeps you safe and alert when in a busy or unfamiliar environment. 

Forms of inclusive tech presented at the 2021 CES     

• Smartphone apps like HeardThat connect to your hearing aids to block out background noise to hear a person speaking. Aware is an app that helps the blind or those with poor vision, traverse through public spaces; and the Sravi app uses a video, word bank, and artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret lip movement. 
• A Nobi fall-detection lamp can sense a fall - which is a high risk for older adults who experience hearing loss - but it can alert others for help and avoid future falls through active tracking and reminders.   
• The Manris Q40, a QWERTY-based Bluetooth keyboard with a refreshable braille display that works with compatible screen readers, makes it accessible for someone who is blind or experiences limited vision. It allows them to participate in classrooms and other activities without needing a separate device for reading braille.

Modern hearing aid features include: 

• Fall detection and alerts
• Language translation
• Remote adjustments
• Wireless streaming
• Automatic geotagged settings
• Fitness/active tracking for your brain and body health
