Knowing where sounds come from is a key part of how we experience the world. It keeps us safe and more aware of our surroundings. But with significant hearing loss, this ability is often lost. SoundFinder brings back this dimension of hearing. It helps you or your child quickly pinpoint the source of sounds, restoring a fuller sense of the surroundings and safety.
SoundFinder for Adults
Boost Your Confidence
Feel more secure in your surroundings, knowing you won’t miss important sounds around you.
Safety First
Studies show that knowing where sounds are coming from can help to improve balance and reduce falls and hip fractures.1-4
Follow Conversations
When you can quickly tell where a voice is coming from, especially in a group, it’s easier to focus on that person to help you understand.
SoundFinder for Children
Explore & Stay Safe
Knowing instantly where sounds come, like traffic or a parent calling from different directions, helps keep your child safe.
Learn About the World
When your child can quickly tell where a sound comes from, they make the connection between what they hear and what they see. This helps them learn the meaning of different sounds.
Hear in Every Direction
In busy classrooms and noisy playgrounds, knowing where sounds come from helps your child keep up with conversations and happenings around them.5-6

SoundFinder is the First and Only Technology Proven to Replace Our Ear's Natural Sound-Finding Ability

On walks, I can now hear people coming up behind me, whether they’re jogging, or on their scooters or bicycles. Because of that, my sense of safety has increased immeasurably.”
