O que Auricle faz

Auricle is a medical device company building a breakthrough neurostimulation implant to restore hearing in millions of patients who no longer benefit from hearing aids, get less than 60% on a word recognition test, but aren't prepared to make the jump to a cochlear implant. Our approach preserves remaining natural hearing through a reversible and less invasive surgery, addressing the key concerns that hold most patients back from getting a cochlear implant (currently the only treatment option for these patients). The company spun out of Stanford Biodesign having completed two acute human clinical studies demonstrating the approach will work. The team is now focused on developing their full implant system for their first clinical trial. Auricle addresses a currently unserved profile of hearing loss that affects a growing population of 3.5 million patients in the US and represents an immediately accessible $1.2B market opportunity with existing reimbursement.

Neurostimulation implant to restore hearing

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

We are building a fully implantable neurostimulation device that restores hearing for people who don't get enough benefit from hearing aids but aren't ready for cochlear implants. Our implant preserves natural hearing and is less invasive and reversible, filling a gap in current treatment options.

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

We live in Mountain View and Oakland, California, and plan to base the company in the Bay Area after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose the Bay Area because of proximity to medical device manufacturing, clinical partners, and talent in neurotechnology and healthcare.
