Scientists from Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands have developed spectacles with tiny embedded microphones on each side.
The glasses, called Varibel, dampen surrounding noise while selectively strengthening sounds coming from in front of the wearer. The device separates
proffered sounds from the unwanted with twice the sensitivity of a traditional hearing aid, the manufacturer claims.
According to the U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, one in three people past the age of 60 suffer from hearing
loss.
Apart from their unaesthetic appearance, traditional hearing aids intensify sounds from all directions, sometimes making it hard for a user to focus
on normal conversation. This causes many to withdraw from social settings and even leave their jobs earlier in life.

Pretty cool.
Been wondering how long before this kind of thing actually got made.
Though I have to think, people are gonna start thinking granny's gone off the deep end when she says "Oh hold on, I can't hear ya without my
glasses.".
Comments, Opinions?
solution for a lot of people who forget to put in their hearing aids.(There are many
people, my friends grandmother always has it in for instance but it's usually off)
