Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is IRIS20 a hearing aid?

    • Since IRIS20 didn’t go through a process of certification for medical devices, it cannot be sold as a hearing aid. It is classified as a personal sound amplifier instead.
      However, its performance is identical to those of hearing aids because IC chips and software algorithms specifically designed for hearing aids are used to make our devices.

  • For which level(s) of hearing loss can IRIS20 be used?

    • It is suitable for people with mild ~ moderately severe hearing loss.

  • How do I know which level of hearing loss I have?

    • It is desirable to visit health care professional to find out which level of hearing loss you may have.
      However, for your reference, about 90% of global population having hearing loss are in the range of mild ~ Moderately severe loss.

    • In general, hearing aids and sound amplifiers are classified into two types – ITC (in the canal) and BTE (behind the ear). IRIS20 is a BTE type hearing instrument.

    • Of course, it is most desirable if you can make your device based on the structure of your ear and then customize its setting through the results of your hearing test.
