Most people were shocked that the (expensive) device would not allow them to hear only what/who they wanted. {How could the device even what you wanted?} Those that kept going to noisy places and kept exercising there hearing system were successful. Most gave up when faced with the reality that they needed to work harder. Technology like is discussed in the OP would be revolutionary.
