Cosa fa AudioFocus

If we've learned anything in the last few years it's that spending time with our friends and family is essential to our well-being and happiness. Unfortunately, loud and noisy places like weddings and family gatherings hinder human connection, especially for the hearing impaired. In fact, the biggest unmet need in the entire hearing healthcare industry is hearing in noisy places. AudioFocus helps patients hear in these environments by only enhancing voices nearby the patients and ignoring ones farther away. We do this using acoustics informed machine learning and custom microphone array design. Our goal is to increase the adoption rate of 37M US adults with hearing loss, only 8M use hearing aids today. Founded by Auditory Neuroscientist & AI expert and a Hearing Aid hardware design expert.

Hearing aids that work in noisy places

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We make hearing aids that help people hear conversations clearly in noisy environments like restaurants or family gatherings. Our product filters out distant noise and enhances nearby voices using acoustics-informed ML combined with a custom microphone array designed specifically for this purpose.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Oakland, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Oakland because our team is here and we have access to nearby research institutions supporting our work in auditory neuroscience and machine learning. This location allows us to focus full-time on product development and user testing locally.
