Together, they provide our brains with vital information about our location, potential hazards, and where we want to go. When either of these senses is hindered, our ability to understand our environment and move safely is compromised. That's why improving our situational awareness, especially through enhanced hearing, is considered a significant advancement for our safety and well-being.
