Our take
Whisper is an AI system that develops hearing aids for the hard of hearing. The major innovation of this platform is that it improves the quality of hearing provided over a period of time, by leveraging machine learning techniques.
The business provides a system that simply keeps improving. Regular software upgrades, cell-phone level processors and sophisticated algorithms mean that Whisper offers a service that grows indefinitely.
Customers of Whisper have reported improved standard of living as a result of the product, which is a testimony to the quality of the system. The business also provides ongoing care from local hearing care professionals, and provides a database of contacts in this area.
Included with Whisper as part of a simple monthly package is the Whisper Brain that drives the system, earpieces, and app that is compatible with multiple platforms. Whisper also offers a free trial, and is helping to revolutionize the way that hearing aids work.
