"Hearables" will generate a revolution in wearable devices, remote monitoring, self-empowerment and AI. Moore's Law will lower prices and improve access for older adults who delay the use of hearing aides for years, increasing the risk of isolation, dementia and falls. Laurie Orlov provides a great overview of high end, Direct to Consumer and OTC prospects in a short quick read. If you're thinking about older adult health needs, you should read.

For me, AI and mobile apps will enable more device adjustment and monitoring of more biometrics without a live person. Top quality may require live humans, but like everywhere else the technology will allow fewer people to work at the top of their license and/or allow a lower licensed team to support more users with assistance. This is where Moore’s Law and AI changes the status quo.
