HEAR BETTER REDESIGNING HEARING AIDS

WHAT PROBLEM ARE WE SOLVING?

Its not just aesthetics Visual appeal of a hearing aid has always been secondary and the awareness we have regarding the subject is so misleading that we tend to discriminate and make things more difficult for those who suffer from any kind of hearing loss.

This project majorly aims at bridging the gap between hearing aids and audiophile devices without compromising on the functionality of a hearing aid.

So what are we solving?
