Aurasen Inc. is a startup that I founded and is now doing business as Doppler Labs. Yes, I've re-acquired the trademark! Doppler Labs is dedicated to improving the entire hearing aid experience. Our ears are not static - why should your hearing aid calibration be? I invented a method to address that very question. Four utility patents, a totally novel approach to solving the number one problem for hearing aid users - calibration of the system.

Co-founded Periodic Audio Inc. Periodic focuses on making high quality, high value, in-ear monitors and related products by focusing on purity of design, materials, and intent.

Everything conceived and designed in-house, every part custom tooled to our specifications.
