The silent pandemic of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) burdens economies with a staggering $750 billion cost. By 2050, 1 in 6 will face hearing challenges. The Medtech world lags in innovation. Novio Sound recognised this gap, delving into research and pioneering a novel hearable solution.
Our mission? Transforming the hearable landscape and enhancing lives. Join us in redefining sound for the future.
THE PROBLEM
2nd
Noise pollution is ranked 2nd as danger to public health (EEA 2023).
900 million
people on this planet will suffer from hearing loss in 2050 & will burden the economy with $1.500.000.000 (WHO 2022).
12,000
premature deaths caused by longterm environmental noise exposure (EEA 2023).
THE PROBLEM: RISING LEVELS OF NOISE POLLUTION
HEALTH
Continuous noise can lead to chronic stress and sleep disruption. A regular exposure to 55dB can lead to hearing damage and ultimately to hearing loss.
PRODUCTIVITY
Noise pollution causes a general decrease of 20% in productivity.
MUTUAL DROWNING OUT
Vicious circles of noise appear. Birds overtune cars to communicate. We increase the TV volume to drown out the AC. And so on...
