Description

"Your average hearing aid retails for about $2,000. These things cost as little as $50 to manufacture or less. So as you can imagine, there’s a huge disconnect there." — Audra Renyi, Founder of earAccess“

In this episode

Join Audra Renyi of SheEO Venture earAccess and SheEO founder Vicki Saunders, as they chat about providing access to quality, affordable hearing care—particularly in developing countries. earAccess works to ensure that the millions of people who need hearing aids have access to quality devices, diagnostic testing, and proper care.

They also discuss:

• The personal connections that led her to start earAccess and advocate for hearing care
• Her company’s focus on emerging markets where the need is the greatest
• Training programs run by earAccess which employ 75% women
• Providing affordable hearing care + screening services at scale
• The current systems in place leading to a gap in the market, and how this model can be solved
• Addressing the stigma behind hearing aids, hearing loss, and shifting cultural motivations
