What My Hearing Aid Taught Me About the Future of Wearables

I have a Bluetooth enabled hearing aid, and this guy is spot on with everything. I started off with an analog hearing aid -- when it broke, you took it in and got it fixed. Nowadays, my hearing aid syncs with my iPhone, syncs with my computer, remembers where I&#x27;ve manually set the volume and next time I&#x27;m there, re-sets it for me. My hearing is better than it&#x27;s ever been -- but now when things go wrong, I often don&#x27;t know. It&#x27;s very frustrating.<p>But it&#x27;s getting better every day. I have hope and optimism.<p>I recently gave a talk about hearing loss, and one of the things I said was that hearing aids make us practically cyborgs. If a hearing aid can help me with my profound hearing loss, imagine what we could do for hearing people -- make your already fantastic hearing <i>even better</i>? Sounds like a win&#x2F;win to me.<p>I&#x27;m excited about the future -- but I also keep in mind that wearables pose many problems, just like this author pointed out. If we can solve those, we&#x27;re well on our way to cyborg-hood...

I think the main problem this article highlights is the lack of control users have of their wearables.<p>We are able to run our desktops, laptops and servers (and some mobile devices) almost only on free software. Why shouldn&#x27;t we demand the same for wearables? Is it even possible? If yes, will this happen? What&#x27;s keeping vendors back in this sense?

For a wearable to &#x27;really&#x27; succeed it must be 1. Unobtrusive. 2. Elegantly hidden.<p>Almost all the wearables on the market today are designed to be flaunted.
