As a retired electrical engineer I have researched OTC hearing aids for the last 10 years or more and the hearing aids I have selected for my next purchase claim to have Artificial Intelligence (AI) assisted hearing technology:

Thank you for sharing the link to information. If you choose to order these hearing aids let us know how they work for you.

It looks like the kind of AI included is not something that can connect you to sound systems in places where you want to hear to be able to participate and enjoy.

Auracast is a technology that is in development. Some hearing aids include this feature now, but it is not yet ready to use.

Personally, I would never order a hearing aid that wasn't equipped with a telecoil and also with Bluetooth connectivity. The telecoil allows me to hear in church, at the performing arts center, in meeting rooms, etc. BT connects me to my cell phone and TV. When the desired sound is broadcast directly to my personal hearing technology, I can participate fully.

Obviously, there are a lot of choices to make!
