Hearing aid manufacturer Velox has produced Velox Opn, the world’s first internet-connected hearing aid. The hearing aid allows users to programme the device to communicate with Internet of Things enabled devices, such as doorbells and baby alarms, through web-based service If This, Then That (IFTT). The Velox Opn can also stream audio from smartphones directly to the aid. The aid is powered by the Oticon platform, a sound processing system that allows users to follow multiple conversations more naturally in noise environments.
