💰 $8M Venture Round - Earlens on 2025-02

Earlens is a medical device company that makes an FDA-cleared “contact” hearing solution that uses a tiny custom Lens placed on the eardrum to directly vibrate it, driven wirelessly by an ear-tip and behind-the-ear processor. The system is designed to restore a broader audible frequency range — especially high frequencies important for speech understanding and music quality — than traditional acoustic hearing aids. Earlens devices are fitted and can be removed by trained Ear, Nose and Throat physicians or certified providers; the company markets to patients and providers and emphasizes improved speech-in-noise performance and natural sound quality.
