iHear Medical is a medical device startup dedicated to developing technologically advanced hearing solutions, delivered directly to consumers online at a fraction of the cost of traditional hearing aids. In the US alone, there are over 40 million Americans who suffer from hearing loss, and while the vast majority can be successfully treated with a hearing device, only 22% currently use them. "The iHear device and our proprietary online tools offer consumers not only huge cost savings, but also control over the fitting process from the convenience of their home," stated Adnan Shennib, Founder & CEO of iHear Medical. iHear is targeting tech savvy consumers who want sensible pricing and desire to retain an active lifestyle with a hearing device worn invisibly inside the ear. iHear Medical has committed to delivering 1,000 hearing devices, free of charge, in collaboration with Hearing For All and hearing advocacy groups.

About Hearing For All

Hearing For All is a non-profit organization founded by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs to provide hearing solutions to economically disadvantaged individuals, and to address hearing loss as a global problem with epidemic proportions. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 5% of the world's population, or approximately 360 million people, suffer from disabling hearing loss. After spending decades in the hearing aid industry, the founding entrepreneurs realized that most individuals cannot afford the extremely high cost of hearing products currently on the market.  Hearing for All is also dedicated to connecting industry leaders, visionaries, health care providers, and charity organizations to implement its mission of helping people with hearing loss, regardless of their economic status.
