Let’s say you’re in a meeting with colleagues who are having a side discussion about something, which you can contribute to. In this current setup, that conversation would not be displayed, while as a hearing person, you could context switch on a dime. It’s a decently-common occurrence. There’s a significant amount of literature pointing to the fact that people who are DHH avoid group conversations because they can’t follow along (see references). This sort of falls hand-in-hand with speech localization, which is another unsolved problem (and likely is unsolvable without true AR). https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1084713807301322 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1084713807301322 https://doi.org/10.1080/02674649366780051 https://doi.org/10.1080/02674649366780051 https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1473-4192.1998.tb00121.x https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1473-4192.1998.tb00121.x
