From Google.com:
2023's The Unheard highlights the dangers of relying on experimental technology to "fix" human limitations, suggesting that rushing into unproven, intrusive, or medical, advancements—like the stem cell treatment in the film—can lead to unintended psychological, sensory, or physical consequences. The film explores how technological fixes can disrupt one's perception of reality and memory.
The Unheard focuses on the psychological dangers of, potentially, invasive, experimental, and, possibly, medical, technologies on human perception.

- Experimental Tech Risks: The film focuses on the protagonist, Chloe, who undergoes experimental stem cell surgery to regain her hearing. The procedure brings back sound, but also introduces terrifying auditory hallucinations and "ghostly whispers," suggesting the danger of unforeseen, long-term side effects from unproven technology.
- Disruption of Reality: The technology acts as a bridge between the physical world and a traumatic, blurred, or distorted past. It forces the user to confront nightmares, showing how technology can alter or distort reality rather than solely improving it.
- Isolation in Technology: Instead of improving connection, the film explores how the "fix" increases isolation, with the character navigating a, initially, silent and subsequently confusing world while isolated in a, presumably, haunted childhood home.
