Oricle Hearing Aid has launched a $99 hearing aid featuring dual processing technology, a move that challenges existing industry standards. The company, which was recently featured in Forbes Health Top 10, provides devices designed to improve hearing clarity through a compact and discreet design.
The Oricle hearing aid utilizes dual processing technology to handle speech and background noise independently before recombining them for sound clarity. The device is equipped with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and is designed to be virtually invisible when worn inside or behind the ear.
Dr. Ingrid Hoden, a leading MD, stated that patients using the Oricle 2.0 report clear sound and easier hearing. The company's co-founders noted that the device underwent testing where it reportedly doubled the performance of other hearing aids.
By qualifying for the FDA's over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid category, the product has helped shift the average hearing aid price from $2,497 down to $99 for Americans.
Oricle hearing aids are available exclusively online through the company's website. The company aims to provide high-quality audio through technology developed alongside audio engineers.
