The goal of DNN is to respond to stimuli the same way a human brain would without needing to be explicitly programmed to do so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common ways AI shows up in your day-to-day life include your email inbox sorting your emails into categories for you, your \u201cwhat to watch next\u201d recommendations at the end of a show on your favorite streaming site, self-parking cars and credit card protection against fraudulent purchases. This technology has come a long way, and it seems like we\u2019re only just beginning to learn what can be done with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Hearing Aids Use AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing aids have utilized AI for many years in the form of wide dynamic range compression (WDRC), which allows hearing aids to begin making some decisions based on sound input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But thanks to AI, hearing aids can now listen to the environment and respond accordingly, mimicking how your brain would hear sound if you didn\u2019t have hearing loss. In other words, these devices are able to adapt to both your individual hearing needs and the world around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oticon More\u2122<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In January, Oticon released its newest hearing aid, the first to boast on-board DNN technology, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oticon.com\/solutions\/more-hearing-aids\">Oticon More\u2122.<\/a> This device\u2019s neural net receives input from the \u201csound scene,\u201d and the DNN scans and extracts simple sounds and patterns, then builds them together to recognize what\u2019s happening. Then the hearing aids balance the sound scene, producing pure and balanced sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the latest hearing technology like Oticon More\u2122 or <a href=\"https:\/\/pentadocs.com\/request-appointment\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to schedule an appointment with an audiologist<\/a>, call Pinnacle ENT Associates today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn More About Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pentadocs.com\/new-hearing-technology\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"14438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Hearing Technology<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pentadocs.com\/is-it-time-to-upgrade-your-hearing-aids\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"14259\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Is It Time to Upgrade Your Hearing Aids?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think about artificial intelligence (AI), what comes to mind?
