I would like to see more sight and hearing technology being developed myself. I'm 41, and not getting any younger. When I was a child, I had a surgical procedure to correct a "lazy eye" in my left eye. I think it's back. I find it very hard to focus on the same spot when I'm reading. And when I'm not doing computers or vegging in front of the tv, I read a lot. It gets frustrating at times. Also, about 5 years ago I developed a constant buzzing in my right ear. No matter how many times I see the doctor about it and I get a temporary reprieve, it comes back. It does make listening on the telephone kind of hard, as that's one of my functions at work, and being right-handed, I usually try to listen with my right ear. I'd probably go to the doctor more often, but they always want to talk about possibilites of high-blood pressure or other such stuff, as I'm a few pounds overweight. And Last year when I got my eyes checked for new glasses, the optometrist didn't even mention anything about the lazy eye, even though it was apparent to me, and I thought to her, that I was having trouble focusing. So yeah, I'd be interested in more advances in the above techonogies.
