AI-powered hearing aids bring clearer sound to China's elderly


In a hearing aid store in Taiyuan City, north China's Shanxi Province, 70-year-old Zhang Wei heard his granddaughter's voice clearly for the first time in years. Thanks to an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered hearing aid, the elderly man with age-related hearing loss has reentered a world of sound.


"It's like someone suddenly turned up the volume knob," Zhang exclaimed while adjusting the device in his ear.


Zhang is among a growing number of elderly Chinese benefiting from a new generation of AI-enabled hearing aids. Beyond amplifying sound, these devices use advanced algorithms to distinguish speech from background noise and offer personalized sound enhancement.
