Mimi Tunes Your Devices’ Audio to Your Hearing

Most interviews happen in neutral meeting rooms or at standing desks. We met the Mimi Hearing Technologies team in a tour bus and spent the following hour listening to the fascinating process of tuning the audio of devices to every user’s unique hearing ID.

IFA 2019 Day 4: Mimi “Prescription Glasses” for Your Ears, Desserts in A Pod

Nick, Chief Scientist and inventor at Mimi Hearing Technologies, told us how they conducted over 1.5 million hearing tests to come up with a hearing assessment that is focused on not just how clear you can hear one sound but how good you are at hearing competing sounds.

Afterwards, the test results – via mobile app – can configure a Hearing ID. That hearing ID can be integrated in different consumer electronics with speakers, acting like a pair of prescription glasses for your ears, correcting the way sound is perceived.

Lorenzo Mandelli, the Managing Director of Mimi Hearing Technologies, expanded on that, highlighting the benefits of such a technology, whether it can be used by a group and what are their next plans.
