I watched the video, and although I do not want to minimize the work being done, as with many things in audio, this is not really new work.

Knowledge of inter-aural crosstalk, binaural recordings and such have been around since almost the beginning of recorded sound. The technology just advances to the point where more and better work can be done, and a whole new generation "discovers" what Rice, Kellogg and others knew in the 1930's, 40's and 50's.

Having a father who is experiencing hearing loss, I am becoming aware that the ability to correct for these problems digitally in hearing aids will be a big benefit to more people than the benefit to audiophiles.
