11. The hearing aid system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:

determine whether the speech associated with the voice of the second individual is directed toward the first individual; and

if the speech associated with the voice of the second individual is directed toward the first individual, store in the memory an indication that the speech associated with the voice of the second individual is directed toward the first individual.

12. The hearing aid system of claim 11 , wherein determination of whether the speech associated with the voice of the second individual is directed toward the first individual is based on a look direction of the second individual detected based on analysis of at least one of the plurality of images.

13. The hearing aid system of claim 11 , wherein determination of whether the speech associated with the voice of the second individual is directed toward the first individual is based on detection, in the speech of the second individual, a name associated with the first individual.

14. The hearing aid system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to:

determine whether the speech associated with the voice of the first individual is directed toward the second individual; and

if the speech associated with the voice of the first individual is directed toward the second individual, store in the memory an indication that the speech associated with the voice of the first individual is directed toward the second individual.

15. The hearing aid system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further programmed to amplify the first audio signal and cause transmission of the amplified first audio signal to a hearing interface device configured to provide sound to an ear of the user.

16. The hearing aid system of claim 15 , wherein the hearing interface device includes a speaker associated with an earpiece.

17. The hearing aid system of claim 15 , wherein the hearing interface device includes a bone conduction microphone.

18. The hearing aid system of claim 11 , wherein the wearable camera and the at least one microphone are included in a common housing.

19. The hearing aid system of claim 18 , wherein the at least one processor is included in the common housing.

20. The hearing aid system of claim 18 , wherein the at least one processor is included in a second housing separate from the common housing.
