Our whole team is highly motivated to make a difference by improving the world’s hearing and helping people live well for longer.
Amanda Philpott is the Founder and CEO of eargym, a digital health company focused on hearing health and its role in healthy ageing and dementia prevention. A hearing aid user with a personal connection to dementia, she is focused on turning prevention science into tools people will actually use.
eargym has delivered over 2 million ear-age checks globally and achieved 50,000+ downloads, and partners with leading research institutions, including the Cleveland Clinic. The company is a B Corp, and eargym is a registered medical (UK/EU Class I and FDA Class 2 medical device).
Amanda previously spent 28 years in the NHS (English National Health Service), including as a Chief Executive responsible for £600m+ ($800M+) budgets, and now combines deep system insight with hands-on start-up experience to scale practical solutions in longevity and AgeTech.
Amanda wears Receiver in the canal (RIC) hearing aids and uses eargym’s auditory training to get the best out of her assistive listening tech.
"I am an ex-NHS CEO and population health strategy specialist. I co-founded eargym with Andy because I have experienced first-hand the impact of unaddressed hearing loss in my family. My happy place is in the mountains, and hearing nature with greater clarity really matters to me."

Meet the team
I am a life-long technologist who started as a software engineer in investment banking. I lead on commercialising eargym's range of digital hearing health products and services and leading on eargym's exciting AI growth plans.
Dr Tim Green
Hearing Scientist
I have more than 20 years experience of conducting research into understanding and dealing with the consequences of hearing impairment and am excited by eargym's potential to improve hearing health and to advance research.
eargym provides the opportunity to enhance auditory rehabilitation for individuals with hearing loss while also contributing to a valuable area of research. Outside of work, I love to take my dog on nice country walks in the Yorkshire Dales.
As a PhD student with a focus on computational neuroscience, I’m passionate about harnessing data to drive meaningful insights. I’m excited to apply my love for data analysis and programming to support auditory health and find new ways to make digital healthcare more impactful.

Knowing that I'm part of a team truly transforming lives is incredibly motivating, and I'm eager to apply my marketing skills to help scale that impact. When I'm not working at eargym, I love playing tennis, and catching the latest films.
I’m motivated by the challenge to bring hearing training games to the masses with fun and engaging design that’s focused on immersive audio. To unwind, I play a range of computer games and like to go bouldering.
Having close relatives affected by dementia, I admire eargym's mission and I look forward to contributing to eargym’s work during my industrial placement. Outside of university, I enjoy anything creative, travelling, and skiing.
General Practitioner & Researcher
I am an academic General Practitioner with mixed-methods research experience in ageing and dementia. I am keen to explore eargym's potential to improve service delivery in primary care and long-term cognitive outcomes in younger adults. Outside of work, I enjoy painting nature in watercolour inks.

Clinical & Research Audiologist
I’m Carolina, an audiologist with over 19 years of experience supporting both children and adults across the full hearing care pathway. I’ve worked in leading UK hospitals, taught audiology at university level, and I’m currently doing a PhD at the SoundLab, researching how children with cochlear implants process sound.
Joining eargym felt like a natural fit for me. I’ve always believed audiology should go beyond just hearing technology. It’s about taking a holistic view of hearing health, considering lifestyle, listening environments, and how the brain and ears work together. Outside work I enjoy spending time with my 7yo daughter.

Before joining eargym, I spent the last three years working in sales as a Senior Insurance Broker, focusing on building strong relationships and helping customers find solutions that genuinely support their needs.
What excites me about eargym is the positive impact it can have on people’s hearing health and communication. My goal is to help more organisations discover the value of auditory training and bring eargym’s work to partners who can make a real difference for their customers and communities.
I love my job as a developer and having the opportunity to create apps that can help improve lives for the better; eargym is my favourite project that I’ve worked on. In my free time I play the guitar, play sports, and spend a lot of time outdoors.
I work to build the eargym app with Perpetio and the product team. Outside of work, I like to play volleyball and the guitar and enjoy listening to music.
