OrCam Hear hands-on: A surprisingly effective voice isolation platform for people with hearing loss


OrCam's latest product is an app that not only reduces background noise in conversations but helps you focus on the voices of people speaking around you.

Assistive technology company OrCam has rolled into CES 2024 with a host of new products including a set of devices and an iPhone app designed to help those with hearing loss deal with auditory overload. After OrCam's reps used the app to drag a floating circle into the ring surrounding me, I started to hear the person diagonally across me talk. Hopefully, that gives the company time to iron out quirks and make the app available on both iOS and Android, so that the assistive tech can be truly inclusive and accessible to more people.
