HearAngel AI - Helping headphone companies meet new safety standards and generate valuable data

HearAngel, licensed firmware from LimitEar Ltd, enables wireless headphone manufacturers to meet the new safety standards and soon to be updated regulations and their customers to manage their sound exposure levels to help prevent hearing loss. Our hearing evolved 5 million years ago to protect us and enable us to communicate. It has not evolved for the levels of sound exposure we now get from everyday life which is causing permanent hearing damage. Th Who state that by 2050 more than 2.5B people will be at risk of Noise Induced Hearing Loss globally; the biggest single cause being headphone use. More worrying, recent research published in the Lancet shows a strong correlation between hearing loss and cognitive decline. To address this risk new safety standards have been introduced and safety regulations will be updated during 2023 mandating hearing safeguarding features in Europe in the near future, with North America to follow. HearAngel firmware will be available for Qualcomm 5100 series chipsets via the Advantage Network in 2023. For compatibility with other chipsets please get in touch.
