Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for emphasizing a portion of audio data. In some implementations, a method may include determining that a first person is wearing a hearing aid, determining, from images captured by a camera, that a second person is speaking to the first person, determining an audio stream for an environment in which the first person is located, determining whether more than one sound stream is encoded in the audio stream, based on determining that more than one sound stream is encoded in audio data, identifying a portion of captured sounds that corresponds to the second person speaking to the first person, and providing, to the hearing aid, audio data that increases a volume of the portion of captured sounds relative to other portions of the captured sounds.
