Augmented Bionics

At Augmented Bionics, we are building a device that is a non-surgical alternative to cochlear implants. Currently there are 466 million people in the world who suffer from disabling hearing loss, and current production of hearing devices only meets 10% of this need. This is due to high costs and risks involved in surgeries required for most existing hearing devices. We are solving this problem by providing a non-surgical alternative to cochlear implants that would be worn like a headphone and would wirelessly stimulate the hearing nerve of patients with severe to profound hearing loss, allowing them to hear again without going through surgery.
