Perth startup Nuheara, the first wearables company to list on the ASX, has developed technology that lets people hear what they want to hear.

Imagine a world where you can hear what you want to hear. Sounds impossible, right?

It may take more than a minute to accept the idea that technology can enable us to control how and what we hear. But Nuheara, a startup based out of Perth and San Francisco, is set to make this a reality. In partnership with Curtin University in Western Australia, the startup is developing innovative augmented ‘Hearables’ (ear buds) that allow people to control their hearing experience with the help of a smartphone app.

The startup’s flagship product, which was only unveiled last month at the Wearable World Congress in San Francisco, can be described as a hybrid between assisted listening devices, Bluetooth earplugs and noise-cancelling headsets without cables or wires.
