Auditory Evoked Response
The timing of the brain's first measurable response to sound.
Neurotechnology · Brain-based hearing
Your brain is the most powerful
hearing device ever made.
We help it perform.
Everyday listening challenges
Most people who struggle to hear
Most people who struggle to hear
have a normal audiogram.
You can't follow conversation in a noisy restaurant. You miss words in meetings. You find yourself nodding, hoping the context fills in the gap.
You've been tested. You've been told your hearing is fine.
It's not that simple.
The ear is only half the story. The brain is where hearing actually happens — and that part almost never gets tested.
The ear receives sound.
The brain understands it.
We don't make sound louder.
We make understanding easier.
SmartHear trains the auditory brain.
Using EEG brain signals and personalized auditory training, SmartHear improves how the brain processes speech. In noise, in conversation, in life.
01
Measure
Brain-based hearing assessment via dry-sensor EEG signal capture.
02
Train
Personalized auditory exercises built around your brain's unique response profile.
03
Adapt
Real-time filter optimization that dynamically adapts to your acoustic environment.
Interactive demonstration
Experience speech through noise.
Play a short spoken phrase, then move the control toward Brain-adapted to reduce competing noise and make the voice easier to follow.
This is an illustrative experience only. It is not a hearing assessment or diagnostic tool.

Signals behind SmartHear
From sound to understanding.
Seven complementary signals help reveal how the brain receives, follows and improves its response to speech.
02
Speech Envelope Tracking
How closely neural activity follows the rhythm and structure of speech.
03
Neural Synchrony
The alignment between auditory input and the brain's processing rhythm.
04
Adaptive Noise Filtering
A noisy input progressively resolving into a stable, clearer response.
05
Listening Effort
Moments of higher cognitive load become visible as the brain works to decode difficult speech.
06
Speech in Noise Separation
The target voice is isolated from competing sound while both remain measurable.
07
Training Adaptation
Personalised training progressively aligns the neural response with the sound pattern.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about SmartHear.
What early users, clinicians and research partners most often want to know.
Is SmartHear a hearing aid?
SmartHear is being developed as a brain-based hearing platform focused on assessment and personalised auditory training. It is not a replacement for professional medical evaluation.
How does the EEG measurement work?
Non-invasive dry sensors record patterns of brain activity while a person listens to controlled sounds and speech. These signals help build an individual auditory response profile.
Is the assessment comfortable?
The experience is designed around dry, gel-free sensors and short listening tasks. Detailed session information will be provided before participation in any pilot.
Who is SmartHear designed for?
SmartHear is intended for people who find speech difficult to follow in complex listening environments, including some people whose standard audiogram appears normal. Pilot eligibility may vary.
How will neural data be handled?
Before taking part, every participant will receive clear information about consent, data use, storage and withdrawal. No pilot data should be collected without explicit informed consent.
When will early access begin?
Early-access invitations will be shared as pilot opportunities become available. Join the list to receive eligibility details and project updates.
