Episode Description

Hearing aids can be stigmatised because they're associated with growing old - meanwhile the effects of hearing isolation on mental health can be profound. In this episode of the Near Futurist podcast I speak to Nick Hunn, chair of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, about moves to combine hearing aids with earbuds and turn them into something fun.

You can buy glasses as a fashion statement when their core function is to help your eyes - why should something to help your ears be any different?
