InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. ("InnerScope"), the leader in direct-to-consumer (DTC) and over-the-counter (OTC) hearing solutions, announced today its partnership with Atlazo Inc. ("Atlazo") to develop next-generation hearing aids and hearable products, utilizing Atlazo's patented Artificial Intelligence (AI) hardware platform. Hearing products powered by Atlazo's proprietary ultra-low power System-on-Chip (SoC) will offer consumers unprecedented new features, including voice commands, continuous health monitoring, and seamless connectivity with other smart devices.
Mr. Adnan Shennib, Chief Technology Officer of InnerScope, stated: "Consumers will not only benefit from improved hearing in noisy environments but also from natural ways to interact with other wireless devices, including mobile phones, providing an enhanced, more convenient, user experience."
Atlazo's integrated digital hardware platform reduces cost and time-to-market for manufacturers of wearable devices. The SoC platforms include software algorithms designed specifically for wearable healthcare applications. The Atlazo and InnerScope collaboration targeting hearing applications are protected by over 12 issued and pending patents.
"We are pleased to join forces with InnerScope and its iHEAR team to develop new types of smart hearing products, leveraging iHEAR's extensive domain experience in hearing health," stated Karim Arabi, Founder and CEO of Atlazo. "Offering new types of intelligent hearing products with improved performance and affordability will be welcomed by tech-savvy consumers looking for alternatives to conventional hearing aids."
"With the recent FDA OTC regulations being released last month, including a landmark proposal intended to improve access to and reduce the cost of hearing aid technology for millions of Americans, and the anticipation of this OTC Law to be enacted soon, InnerScope is continuing to execute its plan to be the leader in the direct-to-consumer hearing device market. The Atlazo partnership and our iHear research and development team give InnerScope the ability to develop new innovative types of proprietary artificial intelligence-powered hearing products that transcend today's hearing devices so all consumers, whether they have hearing loss or not, can benefit from using them."
