Can ANC headphones replace hearing aids?

No. ANC headphones remove background noise but do not amplify speech frequencies like hearing aids do. They can help in noisy environments but are not a treatment for hearing loss.

What smart home features help with hearing loss?

Visual alerts on phones and smart displays for doorbells, smoke alarms, and timers. Captioned video calling. Voice-to-text transcription for phone calls.
