Science and technology change our lives, and technological innovation "never stop"
With the increasingly mature science and technology and research in modern society, scientific and technological achievements have been integrated into every aspect of human life, deeply affecting the quality of people's life, and the infiltration of scientific and technological elements is everywhere. The iteration of innovative technology has become the driving force to create a better life, and science and technology is also continuously inputting innovative power into one of the important human senses -- hearing.
Hearing loss is often an overlooked health problem. It is little known that hearing loss, if not solved by timely intervention, will seriously affect all aspects of life, from speech and language development, to receiving normal education, to employment and social interaction, etc. [8]. Hearing is the link between people and everything in the world.
