- It draws a picture of your hearing for the doctor.
- It suggests if hearing aids might help.
Try it!
Close your eyes for 30 seconds. Count how many sounds you hear. Ears are amazing!

The big idea
Live captions used to be slow and full of mistakes. AI now makes captions almost instantly — so kids who do not hear well can follow a class, video, or chat.
Some examples
- Phone apps caption real-life talking around you
- Video calls have AI captions built in
- AI is starting to translate sign language too
- Captions are not perfect — they still make funny mistakes sometimes
Try it!
Turn on captions on a video and watch with the sound off. Notice what gets confusing without sound.
