Applications
- Every hearing form factor, one architecture underneath.
Prescription, OTC, hearing protection, cartilage conduction — different form factors and different regulatory paths, all built on the same Software-Defined and AI-Defined Hearing platform. Browse by category below, or jump straight to OWS and Cartilage Conduction, our two most active areas right now.
Prescription hearing aid — RIC and BTE
The most established hearing aid category on the market.
RIC and BTE remain the most popular hearing aid types on the market — the main unit sits behind the ear, discreet and comfortable for long-term wear, and able to serve hearing loss up to severe levels. Lyratone's RIC/BTE ODM services let you launch Bluetooth-enabled devices quickly, with fitting-service software tailored to your business model.
OTC hearing aids
No prescription required — sold directly to consumers, three form factors on one platform.
OWS (open-ear)
- Open-ear, stem-free — built specifically to solve the acoustic feedback and processing-delay problems that come with an unsealed ear canal.
- See the OWS detail page →
TWS
- The form factor most associated with Apple's AirPods Pro 2 hearing-aid feature — a stylish, mild-to-moderately-severe-loss device that looks like an ordinary earbud.
Neckband
Trades discreetness for capacity — a single-chip design supporting severe hearing loss, longer battery life, and an easy on/off motion well suited to elderly users.
Hearing protection
Electronic hearing protection devices (HPDs) — protection and awareness, not one or the other.
Passive attenuation plus a level-limiting circuit, so wearers stay protected against occupational and recreational noise while still hearing the people and equipment around them. Built on the same architecture as our hearing-health lines.
Our two most active areas
Current strategic focus
OWS — open-ear hearing aids
The fastest-growing OTC form factor, and the hardest to engineer well. Full technical story, market context, and target-partner guidance on the detail page.
Newest addition
Cartilage conduction
A third auditory pathway, distinct from air and bone conduction — open-ear comfort with a fundamentally different sound path.
