HearLab

Log a hearing moment as it happens, with audio and tags, and take it to your audiologist.

A quick-gesture hearing logger. Opening the app starts recording, a simple wizard captures what the user is experiencing (positive or negative, tags, a note), and Save bundles the audio and log into one entry stored on the device, which you can export and bring to your audiologist. Non-medical: HearLab observes and surfaces, the clinical decisions stay with the professional. The accumulated audio and tag pairs become the training data for future hearing-device tuning.

HearLab Log

Live captions on your own device, in the language you pick, with a level meter so you can see what the room is doing to the sound. Nothing is recorded and nothing is uploaded. The capture-and-log flow for audiologist visits is on the roadmap under Next.

A non-medical companion. Designed alongside audiological care, never replacing it.

How this is measured

Tap record when a hearing moment happens, tag it, and keep the log for your audiologist.

01.b Also in HearLab · environment recognition

Recognition that doesn’t hunt

Wind and traffic are where hearing aids struggle most: the automatic scene classifier keeps changing its mind, so the device keeps re-balancing. That “program hunting” makes a drive or a windy street exhausting.

This runs a real, transparent classifier on your mic or a synthesised scene, and puts a naïve switch-on-every-frame version next to our hysteresis-smoothed one. Same recognition; far fewer switches.

Non-medical. Your audio never leaves the browser, and for the mic we deliberately turn off the browser’s own noise suppression, so the classifier hears what you hear.

01.c B2B2C concept · audiologist dashboard

The professional layer

The companion app captures patient-side hearing experience. The dashboard layer turns it into audiologist-ready context: daily-rating trend, hard-session flags, context-specific patterns, patient notes.

Concept preview with mock data. The production version will be HIPAA / GDPR-compliant and roll out via design-partner hearing centres first.

02 Use cases
01

Capture a hearing moment as it happens

A double-press opens the app and immediately starts recording. A short wizard asks what your hearing is experiencing (positive or negative), with tags and a short note. Save stops the recording and packages the audio and log into one entry.

02

Audiologist review, without the vague recall

Every captured moment keeps its audio, tags and your explanation together, so you can export the log and walk into the consult with what actually happened instead of what you managed to remember. The audiologist-facing dashboard that reads these logs directly is a concept preview, not a live service.

03

Training data for smarter hearing-device tuning

The accumulated audio and tag pairs become the basis for audio tagging and recognition, feeding future, specific adjustments to hearing devices or the software that drives them.

03 What makes it different

HearLab closes the gap between what the user experienced and what the audiologist sees: the actual sound and the user’s in-context reaction, together in one bundle. Explicitly non-medical: HearLab observes and surfaces patterns, the audiologist makes the clinical calls.

Also in HearLab

  • Live captions

    Speech to text on your device, in the language you choose, so you can follow along without asking anyone to repeat.

  • Level meter

    See how loud the room actually is while you listen, so "it was too noisy" becomes a number you can point at.

  • Audiologist dashboard (concept)

    A preview of how a hearing centre would read the log: audio, tags and notes side by side. Not live yet: today you export the entry yourself.

06 FAQ

Is HearLab a medical device?

No. HearLab is a non-medical companion app. It does not diagnose, treat, or fit hearing aids. It captures your in-the-moment hearing experience (audio and your own tags) so your audiologist has real context to work from.

Does the recording start automatically?

Yes, that is the point. A quick gesture (double-press) opens the app and starts recording immediately, so the moment you wanted to log is not already gone by the time you tap Record. Save stops the recording and packages it with your tags.

Where does the recording go?

Into a log entry on your own device, alongside your tags and note, nothing is uploaded. You export the entry and share it with your audiologist yourself. The audio and your explanation stay together, so they see what you heard and what you thought about it, in one place. Delivering the log straight to a hearing centre is on the roadmap, not shipped.
