At ShowStoppers in Las Vegas, the nature of hearing aids is being changed by Eargo. Daniel Shen, Founder and Chief Clinical & Science Officer, explains how issues surrounding hearing loss treatment (stigma, comfort, access to care, etc.) drove their design and approach. Eargo sells for about half the price of standard hearing aids, and addresses patients with mild to moderate hearing loss.
