Hearing The World Through Machine Learning

Machine learning (ML) has quietly become part of our everyday lives, powering our cars, the operations in our hospitals, and the food we eat. The automobile is the clearest case, as $10 billion of funding poured into the sector in 2019 alone. As we look ahead to another generation of verticals where ML is going to have a revolutionary impact, health care stands out as one of the very promising. In healthcare, there are now remarkable methods that ML can enhance the quality of our hearing loss. The quietest sound you can hear starts to deteriorate as you get older, but the loudest audible sound remains constant throughout your entire life.
