Here is some context…

In the UK, a significant portion of people who could benefit from hearing aids don't use them. This is because regular hearing aids struggle in busy environments or with multiple speakers, and some people feel self-conscious about using them.

This introduces a huge language barrier as only a few people know and use British Sign Language (BSL).
