From the article:

    As strange as it may sound, you should
    not be expecting an increase in intelligibility.

I thought one of the reasons hearing aids were so bad was that they pick up noise equally. Wouldn't this method have a direct impact on making hearing aids better?

I also have a real hard time differentiating people talking in Google hangouts, say, especially if they're using silverware on porcelain. Wouldn't this type of noise suppression help in this case as well?

Seems like pretty awesome stuff.
