Thank you for writing this Vik. My late Mum became profoundly deaf in her 20s and I can attest to how difficult deafness can make life: no-one can see that you're deaf but everyone can tell that you're not following a conversation properly. Deafness can be really socially isolating as well as leading to other health issues.

If we can use modern technology to alleviate this then that will be a truly significant win for society.

I remember listening to a very interesting podcast regarding hearing aids here:

I have been very interested in this being a medical device especially when I was working on some bluetooth and low power applications.

Could you please provide some part numbers on the cutting edge of hearing aids?
