Why We’re Building Bionic Ear
Inspired by a child who underwent cochlear implant surgery for hearing loss, we saw the immense challenges faced by families and realised how big is this problem
Limitation
Implants limits MRI usage and participation in adventure sports, impacting quality of life.
Invasive Procedures
Even with high-standard surgeries, risks like infection and facial paralysis may still occur.
Social Perception
While glasses are fashionable, hearing implant’s form are often seen medical device, which can hurt a child’s confidence.

This inspired us to create Bionic Ear to transform hearing for children worldwide.
We’re building a non-invasive bionic ear that mimics the cochlea’s natural function, specifically for severe and profound hearing loss, helping users hear clearly and safely
Dynamic Magnetic Transducer
Developing a cutting-edge transducer that uses precisely controlled magnetic fields to non-invasively stimulate auditory nerves. Designed through rigorous research, it delivers safe, focused, and repeatable neural activation — all without physical contact.
Auditory Potentials
Our team are researching auditory neural potentials, exploring how time-varying magnetic fields can evoke cochlear responses without invasive electrodes. By bridging magnetic physics and auditory neuroscience, we aim to redefine hearing restoration.
Our Game-Changing, three Patents on Tech powering Bionic ear.
Backed by ongoing research, our team continue to push the boundaries that will shape the future of hearing technology. We are working towards securing 10+ patents over the next three years and strengthening our position in the hearing sector.
Progress in Research
Dynamic Magnetic Transducer
Our team has been developing a dynamic magnetic transducer designed to generate precise, time-varying magnetic fields for non-invasive bionic ear technology. Unlike conventional systems, our transducer safely interacts with neural structures without direct contact, creating repeatable and focused auditory responses.
Progress in Research
Auditory Potentials
Our team is conducting research into auditory neural responses triggered by time-varying magnetic fields. We’re exploring how these dynamic fields can stimulate the auditory pathway without physically entering the inner ear. By bridging magnetic physics and auditory neuroscience, we aim to unlock a novel, non-invasive approach to hearing restoration.
Note: Research is early-stage and evolving. Specific findings related to evoked auditory responses remain under internal validation.
Progress in Research
Sound Processor
Our external sound processor uses advanced speech coding algorithms to analyze incoming sounds in real-time. Instead of using current pulses, it drives a precisely controlled dynamic magnetic field that interacts with the inner ear. This field targets specific cochlear regions corresponding to frequency bands — just like natural hearing.
Innovative Research Powering Bionic ear
Our team is conducting extensive research to create a non-invasive hearing solution, ensuring the best outcomes for children with hearing loss.
