Our Hearing Aid Technology IP and Solutions
Our Hearing Technology IP
We develop next-generation hearing solutions built on an AI-driven, software-defined platform, enabling personalized, real-time sound optimization across multiple form factors. Our technology supports three major hearing modalities, allowing us to serve diverse user needs with precision and flexibility.
1. Air-Conduction Hearing Aids
Our air-conduction solutions represent the most widely adopted hearing approach, delivering clear, natural sound through advanced signal processing, adaptive noise reduction, and intelligent scene classification. Designed for everyday environments, they provide optimized speech understanding and all-day comfort.
2. Bone-Conduction Hearing Aids
Our bone-conduction technology transmits sound vibrations directly through the skull to the inner ear, bypassing the ear canal. This solution is particularly beneficial for users with conductive hearing loss or those who require open-ear comfort and environmental awareness.
3. Cartilage-Conduction Hearing Aids – An Innovative Breakthrough
As a leading innovator in cartilage-conduction technology, we offer a breakthrough solution that delivers sound via the auricular cartilage, combining the openness of bone conduction with improved efficiency and comfort. This emerging modality enables stable sound transmission without occluding the ear canal, offering a unique balance of clarity, comfort, and situational awareness.
Powered by our Software-Defined and AI-Defined Hearing platform, all three modalities share a common intelligent core — enabling adaptive sound processing, personalized tuning, and continuous improvement through software evolution.
We are building the future of hearing: open, intelligent, and software-defined.
Our Hearing Solutions
We deliver our hearing solutions to partners through multiple integration formats, including embedded hearing algorithms, PCBA modules, complete device solutions, and comprehensive fitting and tuning systems.
This flexible offering enables our partners to seamlessly integrate advanced hearing technology at the software, module, or full-product level, accelerating development and time to market.
Software-Defined and AI-Defined Hearing
Our innovations of new generation of hearing aids
Architecture of Software-Defined Hearing
Unlike traditional hearing aids that rely on ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) technology, where hearing functions are embedded within the integrated circuit, Software-Defined Hearing abstracts these functions from ASIC into software layers. This paradigm shift enables the control of the hearing process through software rather than hardware configuration.
Software-Defined Hearing Advantages
Software-Defined Hearing (SDH) enhances traditional hearing aids by shifting hearing functions from hardware to software. This approach offers several benefits:
- Faster Product Updates and Improved User Experience: Software updates enable quick feature additions and improvements.
- Open Integration: Easier integration with cloud, smartphone and AIoT devices.
- Cost Savings: Reduced reliance on specialized hardware components lowers manufacturing expenses.
AI-Defined Hearing
Based on and extension of Software-Defined Hearing
Extension of Software-Defined Hearing
AI-Defined Hearing naturally extends Software-Defined Hearing because AI is inherently software. AI's evolution from rule-based systems to machine learning always relied on software. While Software-Defined Hearing enabled flexible control via software, AI takes this further by introducing dynamic, self-learning, and adaptive capabilities, allowing for real-time personalization, advanced sound processing (e.g., speech-in-noise), and continuous cloud-based improvements, all delivered through intelligent software.
AI-Defined Hearing architecture is built upon three distinct layers:
- Edge AI at the Embedded Hearing Processing Layer: This layer incorporates AI at the device level, enabling real-time processing directly within the hearing aid. This includes functionalities like CNN and DNN for noise reduction and voice abstraction.
- AI Agent at the Application (APP) or PC Layer: An AI agent operates at the application level, whether on a mobile app or PC software. This layer is responsible for fitting and tuning the hearing device, acting as an intelligent interface between the user and the hearing system.
- Big AI Model for Learning and Knowledge (Cloud Layer): At the cloud layer, a large AI model leverages big data and AI learning to continuously improve and expand the system's knowledge base. This layer facilitates deeper analysis, learning, and overall enhancement of hearing capabilities.
