@nla4625 @dwi and Others.... I saw this in a AARP post.. the Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creeping into the latest hearing aids..Livio AI is made by Starkey.. I get Starkey HAs at the Veterans Administration.. I do not have these AI advantages ..
They have many new advantages..

Remote Adjustment.. Eliminate trips to the Hearing Aid Provider.. it even includes a chat ability.. and one amazing thing .. you can have the Hearing Aid find your Phone..

Fall Detection and Notification..
People with hearing loss have a 300 percent increased risk of falling, says Tom Wiffler, CEO of UnitedHealthcare Specialty Benefits. “Now there are hearing aids that can detect and chirp when a fall is about to happen,” he says. The technology — found in the Livio AI device, made by Starkey — can't stop someone from falling, but it can automatically notify up to three emergency contacts to alert them that a fall has occurred and pinpoint where the person is.
Language translation
The Livio AI also offers translation in 27 languages, including French, Japanese, and Arabic. As someone is speaking, the device translates into English in real time.
To Text..
The Hearing aid can write text to your phone in real time ...

@ken82. This is amazing. Can you imagine what fun it would be to brainstorm with a lot of smart innovative people about everything helpful a hearing aid might do and then work with the engineers to make it possible? It sounds as though that's what they have done. Wow. This falling issue is one of the main reasons why I'm thinking of getting a hearing aid...it's pretty worrisome. Thanks for sending this out...Nancy

Once they release the AI for language translation, I will be first in line. I use my iPhone now which really helps.
