Amano
Custom-fit, purely mechanical hearing aid priced at $19.99, built to make hearing support accessible to people priced out of prescription devices.
What they do
Amano builds an affordable custom-fit hearing aid. Users take a photo of their ear, software maps its shape, and a purely mechanical device is made to fit them, with no batteries and no app. The device starts at $19.99, compared with roughly $3,300 for an average pair of prescription hearing aids.
