@0x4d6165 it was trying to find a way to get its headphones to focus more on what people were saying to it while in transparency mode (it has airpod pros and they can do cool sound isolation things) and if it can figure out a way to make them focus more on spoken words and less on background noise, it thinks it will have a better time in social interaction when theres noise happening in the background
it has considered getting hearing aids for this specific purpose and if it can make its current hardware accomplish the same thing that would be pretty neat
