Nearly half a billion people around the world are affected by hearing loss
Nearly 90 percent of them live in low and middle-income countries. However, national and local epidemiological data on hearing loss is generally poor, raising little awareness of this problem.
Well Hearing for everyone
History
Born at the heart of a hearing care professional’s passion, FrenchEar was founded with a vision for a new way of conceiving audiology, that focused on global hearing health via management of risk factors related to hearing loss in order to improve the quality of each individual’s life by offering an augmented hearing reality of our surroundings.
An ear, a person, a life.
FrenchEar has created the first acoustic solution for those who cannot afford a hearing aid. In providing tools for individuals, healthcare professionals, and health insurers, FrenchEar has created an environment that allows for confidentiality and credibility of the data, connectivity between parties, and cost-saving through proactive health management. All of this allows FrenchEar to propose a business model where its hearing management system is not billed to the users themselves but paid by the providers of the economy realized.
It's not all about hearing loss, we care about people
We take care of people, not just ears.

About the founder
I am a French Hearing Care Professional. State graduate since 2010, I have been working as an independent Hearing Aid Provider in 5 different hearing care centers across the south of France. After having chosen, configured, and adapted thousands of hearing aids, from a variety of brands, including Lyric, I have founded FrenchEar with the obsession to do everything possible to help the hearing impaired live better lives.
« It is thanks to my patients, sometimes disappointed with their hearing aids from a psychoacoustic point of view but also due to the financial costs involved, that FrenchEar’s founding observations were born with the intention of shaking up this outdated premise.”
