TedEar is a product linked to a specialized application to help people suffering from tinnitus! Tinnitus, characterized by a ringing or buzzing in the ears, affects 14% of the global population, with prevalence rising with age. TedEar is a dedicated device intended to be worn behind the ear, without penetrating the ear canal. It functions through a mobile application, delivering specific treatments for tinnitus. Additionally, the application will generate reports and predictions for the user.

 

We invite you to help us with a few challenges we face along the way:

 

Development Challenge 1:

Designing an application that is user-friendly for both non-technical users and those who are technologically savvy. The challenge arises from the fact that our customer base is diverse, encompassing people of all ages and backgrounds, impacting our ability to achieve "fit for purpose" for everyone.

 

Development Challenge 2:

The requirement to use components with low energy consumption. Since the device itself is small and wearable, the battery will also be small, and we do not want users to worry about battery life in a medical product.
