Eargo, Inc. (Nasdaq: EAR), a medical device company on a mission to improve the quality of life of people with hearing loss, today launched Eargo 6, its sixth-generation FDA Class II exempt hearing aid and most powerful device yet, at CES 2022.
Eargo 6’s new Sound Adjust technology is an example of better hearing, made effortless. Its proprietary algorithm identifies the user’s surroundings and instantly modifies the hearing device’s settings to ensure optimal benefit, without requiring manual input from the wearer. Eargo 6 also introduces a new environmental offset called “mask mode” to offset the communication challenges faced by individuals with hearing loss while conversing with someone wearing a face mask; a user can select “mask mode” through the app.
“The current hearing aid model is broken: the customer has not been at the heart of the experience, and innovation has lagged to the detriment of the user," said Christian Gormsen, Eargo’s President and CEO. “Millions of Americans who could benefit from a device have long been boxed out of the category by clunky, unaffordable, and inconvenient solutions. By completely transforming how the product looks, works, and is purchased, we are one step closer to our overarching goal of changing the way the world thinks about hearing loss, and eliminating the stigmas surrounding it.”
Eargo 6’s new core features include:
Hearing Made Effortless: Eargo 6's Sound Adjust feature identifies the environment users are in and automatically modifies the device settings to provide optimal benefit. No need for users to pull out their app or tap their ear to make a manual change, as Eargo 6 adjusts automatically.
Improved Performance in Noise: Eargo’s fast-acting noise reduction reduces loud background noise and noise between pauses in speech, while leaving the speech energy unaffected, enabling improved hearing in noisy environments such as restaurants.
Water-resistance: Eargo 6 has been tested to a water-resistance rating of IPX7, or water resistance of up to 30 minutes at a water depth of up to one meter.
