This could actually be really helpful to me, as I have trouble hearing someone speaking in a busy room because my mind is trying to pick up everything (I think this is because of my ADHD). Having a way to significantly quiet out other noises aside for the voice of the person I'm speaking with would be amazing.
Ditto. I would pay big money for this if it came in an inconspicuous form factor like airpods. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before Airpods themselves can do this.
I'm having the same problem, my hearing is fine but talking to people in busy clubs or cafe's is next to impossible for me. This feature would be a blessing for me!
i don't know much about adhd/autism, but i'm pretty sure i'm somewhat autistic and have this problem really really bad. i score fine on hearing tests where i just have to listen for quiet beeps but have a lot of trouble processing what people are saying especially in a crowded setting. my dad also has this issue
