According to the World Health Organization, approximately 466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss. That’s 5% of the world’s population. Evidence suggests that there is an 83% gap in hearing aid need and use, meaning only 17% of the individuals who could benefit from a hearing aid actually use one.
We are living in the age of technology-driven disruption. One by one, we’ve seen countless industries completely up-ended by disruption, from travel, to banking and finance to entertainment.
When Audientes CTO, Hossein Jelveh founded Audientes in 2014, his goal was to help improve the lives of the millions of people around the world suffering from disabling hearing loss, by making smart, self-fitting and affordable hearing aids available to everyone who needs them.
