Eargo, a medical device company “dedicated to improving the quality of life of people with hearing loss,” announced the launch of Eargo Neo HiFi (Neo HiFi).
Designed for adults with mild-to-severe, high-frequency hearing loss, the Neo HiFi is the latest in Eargo’s product line. The product’s new features include increased bandwidth, improved feedback cancellation, and a wind noise reduction algorithm for “enhanced performance processing speech outdoors.” All of these features are said to “combine for a more natural listening experience with a more full-bodied sound,” according to the company’s press release.
“We have relentlessly pursued our mission to optimize the quality of life for people living with hearing loss and we continue to do that by removing the barriers that deter them from seeking solutions,” said Christian Gormsen, CEO of Eargo. “With Neo HiFi, we set a new benchmark for our products’ sound fidelity, providing our customers with easier access to the sounds of life the way they were meant to be heard.”
Additional features now available in Neo HiFi include new Flexi TetraPalms, an update to Eargo’s patented Flexi Palm design, for improved comfort and a mobile companion app so people can quickly adjust the quality of sounds for specific listening environments such as restaurants or concerts. The mobile app, available on iOS at launch and expected on Android in late January, helps allow people using Neo HiFi to more quickly adjust treble/bass levels, activate or deactivate programs, and share reports with Eargo’s own licensed hearing professionals, who can further customize hearing programs.
Holistic Solution to Hearing Health Crisis
“Hearing loss can significantly impact a person’s quality of life by making it more difficult to work or interact with family and friends, and has been linked to isolation and depression as well as cognitive decline,“ said Daniel Shen, founder and Chief Clinical & Science Officer of Eargo. “We knew we needed to change the way the world thinks about hearing loss in order to address this significant public health concern, and we’ve succeeded in that goal by obsessively iterating on our product to make the best hearing loss solution on the market.”
