#3I wonder if an equivalent technology for cochlear implant users is in the works...

#4I always wonder if hearing aid has military applications, or for non-hearing-disabled people. Is it possible to have an above average hearing with this?

the tech originally developed and used for hearing aids is now also used in jawbone headphones. They're not exactly hearing aids themselves, but they work the same way.

#6Hearing enhancement for everyone is easy with current tech.
But people won't do it because it looks like you're disabled.
But once enough people do it, it'll no longer look that way and be cool like sunglasses. But they are not. So we don't.
Strange world.

Counterpoint: AirPods are pretty “cool” and can serve as assistive hearing aids through Live Listen.

#10Amazing, and I need one of these!
I damaged my hearing years ago (operating a stump grinder without protection. Doh!) I can hear things perfectly well in most environments, but a crowded room is terrible for me. I can be looking right at the person I'm talking to and won't be able to distinguish their voice from the background noise.
I really hope these become widely commercialized. I'd like one.
