About Earlens
In 2005, Dr. Rodney Perkins founded Earlens. As an otologist (aka, an ear doctor) and inventor, he used his medical expertise to create an innovative product that works differently than most hearing aids. Since Earlens began, the company has developed over 180 patents on its technology.
Earlens aims to create a natural, high-fidelity sound quality experience, and it shows because in 2020 they were listed as one of Time Magazine's Top 100 Inventions. This technology can deliver a higher bandwidth of sound than traditional hearing aids, which roll off in the high frequencies. More so, Earlens works differently than conventional hearing aids due to its inductive drive method of stimulating the eardrum directly. That being said, this is currently the only product like this on the market.
