Problem
Many individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss struggle to hear clearly, especially in noisy environments, despite the availability of hearing aids. Traditional hearing aids often require multiple appointments with audiologists for fitting and adjustments, leading to inconvenience and increased costs.
Solution
Concha Labs provides over-the-counter (OTC) self-fitting hearing aids that utilize patented Soundscope® technology to personalize sound profiles directly from a user's iPhone. The receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aids are designed to improve speech clarity in noisy environments through a unique psychoacoustic process that incorporates live feedback. Users can create and save unlimited sound profiles via the Concha Labs app, tailoring the hearing aids to their specific needs and preferences. A clinical study demonstrated statistically significant improvements in speech-in-noise scores compared to traditional clinician-fitted outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes adults over 18 with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss who seek a convenient, affordable, and personalized hearing solution. Concha Labs also partners with audiologists and medical practices to offer their patients an evidence-based OTC hearing aid option.
