The World Health Organisation Report*1.1 billion people at risk of hearing loss - 14% of global populationHigher % in high income countries where 50% of 12 to 35 years olds at risk of avoidable hearing damage and growingThis group is 18M in UK, nearly 30% of population

Headphone users generally listen too loud, for too long and are permanently damaging their hearing

We get ~15,000 auditory hair cells at birth, we don’t get more, when they are gone they are gone

Exposure to large sound doses destroys our hearing

Headphone users have no way of managing exposure to prevent damage

More than 65% know the risk

Simple problem, complex solution

Simple problem, complex solutionSound dose is the integration of: • Time• Volume• Content density

The graphic shows two traces • Over the same time• At the same volume• With very different content density

…resulting in very different sound doses

Mobile app which:• Measures your sound dose• Gives you information on
