Alango Technologies, in collaboration with Bestechnic, is leveraging the BES2800YP SoC and Alango’s advanced DSP software to introduce a feature-rich solution for hearing enhancement in hearable devices, such as true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds and smart glasses.

With over 1.5 billion people worldwide experiencing hearing loss—430 million of whom face moderate to severe impairment, there is a pressing need for accessible, effective alternatives to traditional hearing aids. Despite their availability, only 17% of those who could benefit from hearing aids use them, highlighting a significant gap in the market.

This partnership delivers a reference design that simplifies the development of hearables with integrated hearing aid functionality, reducing time and costs for manufacturers while making advanced hearing solutions more accessible to consumers. The design incorporates key technological advancements, including ultra-low-latency signal processing, neural network noise reduction for clearer speech in noisy environments, and own-voice attenuation to address the discomfort of amplified self-voice—a common issue with traditional amplification devices.

The reference design allows manufacturers to create TWS earbuds with several user-focused attributes:

1. Versatility: Devices can seamlessly switch between music, calls, and hearing enhancement modes without requiring separate products.
2. Discreet and Stylish Design: Modern aesthetics reduce the stigma often associated with traditional hearing aids.
3. Cost-Effectiveness: More affordable than conventional hearing aids, making them accessible to a wider audience.
4. User Control and Customization: Companion apps enable users to personalize their listening experience according to their preferences.
5. Technological Integration: Devices can connect to smartphones for features like voice assistants and music streaming.

By bridging the gap between consumer electronics and medical-grade hearing solutions, Alango and Bestechnic aim to provide manufacturers with tools to deliver innovative, user-friendly devices that improve quality of life for millions worldwide.

Dr. Alexander Goldin, CEO of Alango Technologies, stated, "Alango's team is very excited to cooperate with Bestechnic to simplify integration of hearing augmentation into consumer-accessible products. Bestechnic’s offers a line of advanced Bluetooth SoCs from entry to high level, all integrating highly efficient DSP or MCU cores and offers enough power to provide solutions supporting various levels of hearing loss and price-performance tradeoffs. We sincerely value the exceptional support and technical resources provided by Bestechnic throughout our project collaborations."

“Our Bluetooth chipsets enables full-featured sound processing for TWS and other hearables including hearing enhancement, adaptive beamforming, AI powered noise reduction and user’s own-voice attenuation”, said Guoguang Zhao, CEO of Bestechnic. “By integrating cutting-edge hearing accessibility solutions into consumer electronics, we empower individuals worldwide to break down barriers and connect more fully with their communities, fostering a world where everyone can hear, engage, and thrive."

Companies interested in integrating hearing augmentation into their products are encouraged to contact Alango or Bestechnic for more information.
