While you might expect that Bose’s latest gadget has something to do with music, it’s actually a lot closer to wearable health tech. In fact, they’re actually FDA-cleared, self-fitted hearing aids designed for people with mild to moderate hearing loss.

The Bose SoundControl Hearing Aids are technologically intriguing. They feature a behind-the-ear, receiver-in-canal design with the help of a companion app, allowing users to customize their settings using two controls. The “World Volume” control amplifies quiet sounds to louder ones, while the Treble/Bass setting can be used to fine-tune vocal frequencies. It also supports preset modes so you can, for instance, focus on conversations in loud environments, or choose a setting that lets in all ambient sounds for better awareness.
