While searching through Fast Company's website, I came across a article of 8 items needing improvement. While I agree with some of the more common ones, I agreed with one I wouldn't necessarily have thought of if I had been asked to write this article - hearing aids.
Understanding hearing loss is not just for the elderly. Deafness is found in my family, and two family members have been through the rounds of testing for hearing equipment. Although the technology has increased since their introduction, they still could use some work today such as improving the static waves coming from the ear piece.
Take for instance the blue tooth phenomenon. My boyfriend has one that doesn't even shake when he speaks from a little piece of plastic attached to it recording his airwaves. Now, why don't we shrink that model to fit in some one's ear who could really benefit from it. The results could be astonishing.
