Our big mission
to improve the world’s hearing and advance research aimed at reducing the incidence of dementia.
Our hearing is an essential part of how we communicate and connect with others, and yet it’s much too common for us to neglect our hearing health. We are changing that.
WHY WE DO IT
It's time to take hearing health more seriously
Not only is hearing loss impacting us earlier in life, but it’s correlated with a multitude of health conditions, including stress and depression. In fact, research shows that even mild hearing loss could double the risk of dementia.
On top of this, we typically neglect our hearing. Only 5% of us will check our hearing in any given year, while 50% of us have eyesight and dental check-ups. This is where eargym comes in.
WHAT WE DO
Introducing your new hearing health companion
No matter what your hearing ability is, we support your hearing health throughout life with care that’s tailored to your needs. Get immediate access to in-depth hearing assessments, support from healthcare professionals, and evidence-based training games to improve your hearing, all from your smartphone.
With our suite of research-backed checks and hearing training exercises, we are building a unique collection of data insights on hearing and cognitive health to improve quality of life for millions of people.
Making better hearing accessible for everyone
"We need to expose the size and scale of the hearing crisis. We see too many people experiencing cognitive decline related to their reluctance to wear hearing aids. The undeniable correlation between hearing loss and social isolation, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia means we’re hugely motivated by combating these ills.”
