Abstract: Background Hearing loss (HL) is the third most common long-term health problem in the world. This number is likely to go up even more in the future. HL is a big problem for people because it makes it challenging for them to talk and affects their quality of life in general. Even though many people use hearing aids (HAs), about 50% of them are unhappy with how their HAs fit. The general character of these fittings, which do not take into account each user’s unique hearing preferences in situations where communication may be difficult, is a big reason why people are unhappy with them. Poorly fitted HAs can make it hard to talk to people and also lower a person’s quality of life. Body of abstract The current technology of artificial intelligence (AI), especially after the admission of machine learning, has been upgraded for HA’s performance and speech clarity. AI has the potential to be incorporated into contemporary HAs to offer creative ways to enhance speech comprehension and quality of life. AI offers numerous choices to enhance the operation of HAs, including personalized adjustments, remote modifications, smartphone applications, and connectivity and streaming capabilities. Conclusions AI has the potential to be integrated into modern HAs to present inventive solutions to improve quality of life and speech understanding. Therefore, AI could potentially reduce the frequent audiologist visits and hence lower costs.
