This startup is building a remote configurable hearing diagnostic and hear aid system. The concept is to allow some elderly in the rural/remote community with limited mobility and unable to reach hear specialistics to have access to top hearing specialists that live elsewhere (IE urban areas)…
Two things:
(1) What’s to stop the companies from pushing laws that allow the specialists to be outsourced abroad or automated away? This sounds like a jobkiller long-term.
(2) People who need hearing aids should also have a checkup for other organic causes of hearing loss … a hearing aid could be hiding the real problem that’s damaging hearing long-term.[/quote]
If you want, you can talk to the company. They couldnt afford me so I didn’t follow up with the details of how it works…
I try not to be a Debbie Downer when someone trying to do something new in tech. There’s enough of that on piggington.
