Restoring Smell With Wearable Tech | Science News
Scientists are pioneering wearable devices to restore lost smell, turning a neglected sense into a potential game-changer for millions. Imagine a hearing aid for scent—devices like nasal plugs redirect airflow to the olfactory region, helping those with partial smell function regain joy in everyday aromas. Early trials, including from a COVID-19 survivor, show “amazing” results, but limitations remain: these gadgets need some existing smell ability to work, and long-term real-world testing is still underway. With high user enthusiasm and ongoing refinement via 3D printing, researchers are…
