JAKARTA - Alphabet, Google's parent company has had a number of research projects underway in recent years. Even among these projects, there is Google research to present a device that can provide super hearing in humans.

Launching Business Insider, a project called "Wolverine" aims to develop hearing aids. The team designed the device to help people with disabilities hear voices more clearly, even in crowded places.

Testing of these devices has been carried out with devices that are similar to earphones. A number of people have joined the project, including the teams from Starkey Hearing Technologies and Eargo.

The Wolverine project resembles a product made by Whisper, a company that has pulled out of the project. The team has succeeded in isolating the sound through a "sound separator" which can be adjusted according to the surrounding conditions.

This proves that the goal of the lab is not just to make devices that will sell well in the market, but to create enhanced hearing aids.

The Alphabet team doesn't concentrate on just one device. The team also plans to build a successful business that can be used in a variety of other tools.

If the "Wolverine" project is successful, it is likely that its users will have a sharper hearing ability than before, as summarized from The Verge.
