About
Earlens Corporation is a medical technology company based in Menlo Park, California, dedicated to enhancing the hearing experience for individuals with hearing loss. The company has developed the Earlens® Contact Hearing Solution, a nonsurgical hearing aid that directly vibrates the eardrum using a custom-fit lens. This innovative approach replicates the natural hearing process, delivering superior sound quality and a wide bandwidth. The technology received FDA clearance in 2019 and has been recognized with several awards, including a TIME Top 100 Invention of 2020. The Earlens® Contact Hearing Solution features a custom silicone lens placed on the eardrum by an ENT physician, along with a behind-the-ear processor that captures sound and sends energy to the lens. This design enhances speech understanding and sound quality, overcoming the limitations of traditional hearing aids. The device also includes modern features like Bluetooth streaming and is tailored to fit each patient's unique ear anatomy. Earlens aims to help individuals with sensorineural hearing loss enjoy life without concerns about their hearing. The company employs around 200 people and has raised over $221 million in funding to support its mission.
