MENLO PARK, Calif., December 09, 2020 -- Earlens Corporation, a Silicon Valley medtech company behind the world's first, nonsurgical hearing solution that directly vibrates the eardrum, announced today The Earlens® Contact Hearing Solution has been named to Time magazine’s prestigious list of “Best Inventions of 2020.”
Earlens is a transformative hearing technology that provides patients a dynamic audio range at least twice as broad as conventional, high-end hearing aids. The result is a richer, more enjoyable listening experience, based on extensive user feedback. Unlike conventional hearing aids, Earlens doesn’t amplify sound with a speaker. Instead, it directly stimulates the eardrum. Each patient enjoys custom fitting and adjustments provided through a joint physician, audiology, and concierge care model.
