Innovation of the week: An internet-connected hearing aid

"With every new gadget seemingly connected to the internet to automate your life, the question arises whether a lot of those items are really useful," said Billy Steele at Engadget. The Oticon Opn, a smart hearing aid that can alert the wearer to blaring smoke detectors and chiming baby monitors even when those items are out of hearing range, promises to be a welcome exception.
