  • One in six Australians are affected by hearing loss. This is expected to increase to one in four by 2050. Understanding the demands this trend is placing on the hospital resources, led to the A-01s initial development. Looking for a cheap and quick way to facilitate hearing tests, Audeara’s, Dr Chis Jeffery and Dr James Fielding successfully tested a set of Headphones upgraded with a medical grade Audiogram. Beyond the medical test application they realised that test technology enabled headphones could not only analyse a persons hearing deficiencies but actively adjust incoming sound to suit their hearing needs.

  • Everyone hears differently, left ears hear differently to your right. Using the Audeara app, we chart these differences, visualise and track your unique hearing profile as it changes over time. Your profile is programmed into your Audeara headphones, which learn how to tailor the music to your individual needs. Enhance your experience through precision, not volume and look after your hearing for life. Find new parts in your favorite song. Hear notes you didn’t know were missing. We put the user at the heart of the music experience by focusing on what really matters – what you can hear.

  • The realisation that headphones could be developed to straddle the two worlds of medical and consumer was radical. To be able to cost effectively medically test a person’s hearing loss any time anywhere and then adapt, personalise and perfect incoming sound with the test data was a revolutionary, company creating, product forming and market disrupting moment in time. It marked the creation point for Audeara. Audeara headphones adapt with your hearing throughout your lifetime – so from the very first time they test you, they give you perfect sound, always. Personalised technology and designed to last a lifetime.
