Earlens

Earlens Corporation, founded in 2005 by Dr. Rodney Perkins and headquartered in Menlo Park, California, is a medical technology company committed to transforming the hearing experience. The company's Earlens Contact Hearing Solution is the only hearing device that uses a tiny light-driven lens placed on the eardrum to vibrate it directly, delivering 2.5x the audible bandwidth of traditional hearing aids. This non-surgical approach provides richer, clearer sound quality that has been shown to reduce listening effort by 82% versus conventional devices.
