More specifically, they help with understanding speech in background noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DNNs in hearing aids can select certain sounds to amplify, like speech, while suppressing background noise. They can also identify and separate multiple speakers, select a primary voice to amplify and subdue secondary voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This technology is beneficial in several environments. For example, at a restaurant or dinner party, your hearing aid can amplify the voice of your conversation partner, allow you to hear the voices of others in your party and suppress background noises, like dishes clinking together and other patrons having conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live an active lifestyle and are interested in the benefits of hearing aids with AI technology, call us to schedule an appointment today!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What comes to mind when you hear the words \u201cartificial intelligence\u201d?
