Hearing Aids and Brain Waves

Although it may sound like science-fiction, researchers have had success using brainwaves and artificial intelligence to essentially determine what voice a listener is focused on and amplify that sound. This is a huge development because, while undamaged human ears perform this activity naturally, people dealing with hearing loss have long had difficulty singling out specific voices in a space full of sounds.
While traditional hearing aids can improve the quality of life for a patient in many ways, they are unable to perform this auditory decoding that the brain can do with input from the inner ear structures. https://www.hearingnorthwest.com/blog/hearing-aids-and-brain-waves/

In a study conducted by researchers at the University of Wisconsin, participants "...who reported hearing loss were found to be more likely to score poorer on cognitive tests and roughly three times as likely to have mild cognitive impairment, as compared with those who reported normal hearing."
