Eargo

Eargo is a medical device startup that produces hearing aids, allowing customers to seek help for hearing loss. The company also provides online hearing screenings and virtual support, eliminating the need for in-person visits. It offers rechargeable hearing aids that can be controlled via smartphone. Its innovative products and go-to-market approach address the major challenges of adopting traditional hearing aids, including social stigma, accessibility, and cost. Consumers can purchase online or by phone and receive personalized, convenient consultations and support from licensed hearing professionals through phone calls, texts, emails, or video chats. The Eargo solution costs consumers approximately half the price of hearing aids purchased through traditional channels.
