About EarLens Corporation EarLens Corporation is a privately held medical device company committed to providing ENT physicians and their hearing impaired patients a clinically superior hearing solution designed to change the current standard of care for sound performance.

The company has developed the breakthrough EarLens Contact Hearing Device, the worlds first hearing device to use light to transmit sound. The EarLens System's unique mechanism of direct sound delivery potentially opens the door to a level of high definition sound performance achieved by no hearing aid on the market today. Distinct from air conduction hearing aids, the EarLens Contact Hearing Device effectively transforms the users own eardrum into a speaker, which enables delivery of an ultra-wide frequency range (from 125 to 10,000 Hz) and a higher maximum gain margin. The intended result is a next generation level of sound performance that yields significant improvements in the ability to understand speech in noise and an overall sound quality that is clearer, richer, and more natural. EarLens Corporation is headquartered in Redwood City, California.
