Overview
Fortell develops AI-powered hearing aids to help adults with hearing loss, especially in noisy environments. Its Fortell AI Hearing Aid uses spatial-AI algorithms and a low-latency custom chip to separate speech from background noise in real time, with control via an iPhone app and remote audiology support. The product stands out through real-time speech separation, custom silicon, and a premium direct-to-consumer model that includes extensive audiological care bundled with the device. The company aims to improve speech understanding in challenging acoustic settings and to grow its network of clinics while advancing its AI-powered hearing technology.
