HearAngel and Sonical Collaborate on Smart Hearing Protection

Sonical, a leading technology company, has recently announced a groundbreaking licensing deal with HearAngel to integrate their smart hearing safeguarding software into the CosmOS operating system designed for headphones.

This partnership between Sonical and HearAngel is set to revolutionize the headphone industry, offering manufacturers using the Sonical operating system the option to include hearing safeguarding as a standard feature or user-selectable option.

The innovative Sonical CosmOS platform allows for the seamless integration of applications into smart hearing systems. Sonical has also established strategic partnerships with renowned technology companies such as Fraunhofer in Germany and UK-based microcontroller maker Xmos.

HearAngel's cutting-edge software utilizes patented algorithms originally developed for the professional broadcast industry. By integrating into wireless headphones, the software is capable of measuring sound exposure levels, with user-friendly controls accessible via a mobile phone interface.

The software offers two distinct modes: one for managing personal exposure levels and another for parental control, enabling parents to monitor and regulate their children's listening habits. By tracking listening duration and sound levels, HearAngel provides users with valuable insights and management options, including optional automated protection that complies with industry safety standards.

"CosmOS represents a significant leap forward in headphone technology, empowering users to personalize and update their devices through downloadable cloud apps. This flexibility allows for on-the-fly adjustments based on individual preferences and usage patterns," remarked Stephen Wheatley, CEO of HearAngel.

"The issue of hearing safeguarding is becoming increasingly critical, as prolonged exposure to high volumes can lead to permanent hearing damage. HearAngel equips users with easy-to-understand information on sound exposure, enabling them to make informed decisions to protect their hearing health," added Gary Spittle, CEO of Sonical.
