    Arguably they’re also potentially more helpful if they can detect who you’re looking at and only amplify that person’s voice.

      I have auditory processing issues and this is something that would help me a lot. Not enough to justify the costs - the glasses themselves, the subscription, my own self-respect, the privacy and respect of the people around me…

      Yeah. The center channel on my TV’s audio system has all the dialog. I love being able to focus my attention a specifc direction to hear what they’re saying and the sound system does whatever the hell it does to make that happen. I could really see something like what you described being part of a cochlear implant to improve its functionality. But this is way beyond me. I just make noise.

      I suppose that’s possible but I would expect to see data attesting to that before shelling out the dough.
