The development of smart, cheap high quality personal hearing amplifiers with the potential to support people with a mild to moderate loss.
I see too many people in their 50 and 60 suffering from hearing loss but seemingly unable to admit that they do, and to realise that they might be better off with a hearing aid early on to improve their quality of life.
It enables me to undertake interesting and exciting early research that I otherwise could not do.
