1. A method comprising:
determining that a first person is wearing a hearing aid, by detecting, using image recognition performed on images captured by a camera, an appearance of the hearing aid in the images;
in response to detecting the appearance of the hearing aid in the images, determining, from one or more of the images captured by the camera depicting both the first person and a second person, that the second person is speaking to the first person by determining that a distance between the first person and the second person satisfies a threshold distance;
determining an audio stream for an environment in which the first person is located;
determining whether more than one sound stream is encoded in the audio stream;
based on determining that more than one sound stream is encoded in audio data, identifying a portion of captured sounds that corresponds to the second person speaking to the first person; and
providing, to the hearing aid, audio data that increases a volume of the portion of captured sounds relative to other portions of the captured sounds.
