1. Six Million Dollar Hearing Devices
I may be dating myself with this one, but
today's hearing devices are eerily
beginning to remind me of Lee Majors in
the "Six Million Dollar Man." The mid-
1970s TV show and franchise was
provocative for its time but is rather
common place today. Major, the show's
hero portrayed the aforementioned title
character, a guy who had undergone
radical surgery to save his life.
Medical scientists embedded nano-technology into his body to
give him a normal life. Of course, these granted him
extraordinary strength and agility as well. Since his ears had to
be fixed after the traumatic accident, he also had the ability to
hear sounds that normal men and women could not.
Back then it was a work of dramatic science fiction and clever
editing. Today however, the technology is becoming readily
available. Listening instruments began as a way to augment
audio so those suffering from sensory loss could pick up sounds
better. But as digital circuitry becomes smaller and our materials
become smarter, much more is possible.
When you wear some of the most advanced earpieces, your
abilities become more efficient and capable than humanly
possible. Not only do you hear better, but you're able to pick out
particular sounds, dampen unwanted noise or listen to music with
an "EQ" optimization effect. Keep in mind that the best
instruments are invisible, or completely in canal, so you don't
even know the wearer has one. Just like Lee Majors. Fortunately,

2. the projected costs of those extraordinary abilities have come
way down from $6 million.
At this rate, it doesn't seem long before folks without the need
will begin donning similar technology to get a leg up on the
competition. For instance, a spy or detective trying to solve a
case can always use super sonic abilities. Humans are always
pushing the boundaries of nature and it isn't likely to end with
hearing devices.
