SonicCloud Allows People With Hearing Loss To Use Their Phones
SonicCloud has developed a technology that creates customized hearing experiences for people with hearing loss so they can communicate on the phone using just their earbuds.
Founder Larry Guterman joins actor and investor Sean Hayes to chat with Alyssa Julya Smith about how this app has revolutionized hearing technology.
Guterman, who has hearing loss himself, teamed up with audiologists from Stanford to develop the technology that will save millions of Americans from having to buy costly hearing aids. Hayes starred in the commercial for the app and talks about why he decided to support the company, including, he says, the fact that he had never seen anything like it.
