This stuff is amazing. Hearing aids have come such a far way from the aids of the past. They still have a long way to go.. but there are companys out there really making some wonderful strides. Welcome to tomorrows hearing aids. They will integrate with your cell phone, maybe even your cars navigation system. They seek out speech; automatically elimiating background noises.. even learn the users patterns of wearing them. Oh wait. That is already here! Siemens recently released a new line of hearing instruments, the Centra. Its pretty amazing. Here is what Medgadget.com says about it:

"These new hearing aids from Siemens are full of high tech features, as they seem to be powered by more advanced electronics than your typical iPod: The Centra™, from Siemens Hearing Instruments, is the first ever hearing aid that automatically adjusts to the user's preferences in a variety of different environments, offering unparalleled performance"...

"Centra 'learns' user volume preferences in different hearing situations and then automatically fine-tunes itself for optimum hearing. Centra combines this DataLearning technology with other exclusive features, such as SoundSmoothing™ and ear-to-ear wireless™ technology, making it the most advanced hearing solution available"....

"It helps deliver unmatched listening comfort and speech intelligibility in noisy situations."

Just wait until hearing aids interact with your Ipod.. it's comming I'm sure.
