Experience Clarity

The Brain/Hearing Connection

“When we developed Horizon IX with our engineers from Signia, we knew we were creating something special for hearing clarity. What we didn’t fully anticipate was how much it would impact users’ overall cognitive well-being,” said Dr. Marco Vietor, co-founder of hear.com.

The secret lies in Horizon IX’s groundbreaking dual-processing technology. By separately processing speech and background noise, then recombining them with unprecedented clarity, these tiny devices don’t just make sounds louder — they deliver precisely what your brain needs to stay engaged and healthy.

“It’s like the difference between an old black-and-white TV and a 4K ultra-HD screen,” says Paul Crusius, hear.com co-founder. “When your brain receives clear, rich signals instead of muffled noise, it doesn’t have to work overtime just to understand basic conversation. That cognitive energy gets redirected to what matters — memory, focus, and staying mentally sharp.”
