Why We Believe

An estimated 48 million Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. And yet, over the last century, progress in the field has been slow going if not completely stagnant. The predominant hearing aid companies in the market today were built over 50 years ago. A handful of new entrants have emerged to offer less expensive, direct-to-consumer products, but haven’t achieved a quality at par with industry incumbents.

In 2017, Whisper arrived to turn the hearing aid market on its head. The company has launched next-generation, software-defined hearing aids that leverage deep learning and advanced signal processing at an unprecedented granularity to improve hearing quality. Moreover, by building a software-based solution, Whisper is able to continuously ship new features and upgrades to existing users, resulting in a product that keeps getting better over time. Soon, the days of crude, painful hearing aids will be behind us. We are thrilled to support the Whisper team as they catalyze a new wave of machine learning-driven innovation in healthcare technology.
