Scottish scientists have come up with a hearing aid that reads lips even through a mask.

For this, artificial intelligence is used - the radar scans the movements of the lips and determines which sound they are characteristic of. For open faces, the accuracy is 95%, for closed faces, 83%. The scanner will help people hear well both in normal conditions and in noisy environments. Prior to this, the effect of a cocktail party for the hearing impaired was provided by devices that read lips with the help of a camera. But the video recording of the interlocutors could violate their privacy.
