8 January 2018 – Las Vegas, United States
Nuheara Limited (ASX: NUH) (“Company” or “Nuheara”) a global leader in Intelligent Hearing: smart personal hearing devices that enhance and amplify human experiences, is pleased to announce the debut of a suite of new products.
Smart connected devices are here now, with successful consumer facing electronics companies embracing, adapting and leveraging the smart device revolution by simplifying and enhancing human experiences. Accordingly, Nuheara is at the forefront of creating smart personal hearing devices beyond the engineering of one dimensional wireless earbuds.
Further, sophisticated hearing technology no longer remains solely in the domain of hearing aid companies. Smart personal hearing devices that enhance human experiences will be the product of choice for consumers. The expanded range of Nuheara smart personal hearing devices now includes two new revolutionary intelligent earbud products, in addition to an upgrade of the multi-award winning IQbuds™. These three exciting products are being showcased during Unveiled and at the Sands Expo, Booth 44746, throughout the duration of CES Las Vegas this week.
IQbuds Boost™, the first of the company’s new introductions, provides deeper, more sophisticated levels of personalisation, customisation, and amplification than that provided by Nuheara’s existing IQbuds™ product. Also being introduced is LiveIQ™, which integrates Nuheara’s unique hearing intelligence capabilities with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) – all in a true wireless earbud form.
Nuheara is also pleased to announce a refresh and upgrade for IQbuds™ that will extend performance to 20 hours of on-the-go Bluetooth streaming and 40 hours of Hearing Processing.
“We are committed to a leadership role in the smart personal hearing devices space, and with these two new exciting products and the refresh and upgrade of IQbuds™, we are in a unique position to make a further impact on the hearables market,” said Justin Miller, co-founder and CEO of Nuheara.
“With an industry-first suite of intelligent hearing devices we can now appeal to a broader range of global customers, with varying hearing needs, supported by scaled price points.”
With the launch of IQbuds Boost™, Nuheara had the foresight to develop a new product that compliments IQbuds™, to leverage the potential explosion of the assistive audio segment and the opportunities resulting from the Over-the Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017. IQbuds Boost™ will be available to consumers by April 2018.
Also launching in 2018 is LiveIQ ™, one of the first intelligent truly wireless earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). This allows users to enhance their audio experience by integrating industry standard noise cancellation technology with selected features from Nuheara’s unique hearing intelligence software. Priced at under US$200, LiveIQ™ opens up a broader consumer market for Nuheara without compromising the level of intelligence the market has come to expect from the company. LiveIQ™ will be available for pre-order early in the new year with an expected 2018 northern hemisphere summer delivery and in-store availability.
On the market since January 2017, IQbuds™ has set a standard in delivering cutting-edge augmented hearing capabilities, and went on to win seven international innovation awards. Nuheara is pleased to also announce extended battery life for its original product, with 20 hours of on-the-go Bluetooth streaming and 40 hours of Hearing Processing now possible.
Nuheara will demo these new products for the first time in public at CES Unveiled, and at the company’s CES booth at the Sands, Las Vegas.
