For millions around the world, hearing aid is a luxury. High- income countries have modest hearing aid adoption rate at around 35 percent, which plummets to just 5–10 percent in developing regions. Priced at $5,000-$6,000 per pair, prescription hearing aids are unaffordable for most, making access to treatment unequal.
Yeasound is leading the charge in breaking this global inequality in access to advanced hearing solutions. A specialized provider of over-thecounter (OTC) hearing aids, it leverages cutting-edge audio technology and a self-developed AI-enabled application to improve hearing and transform lives. Its products combine the affordability and ease of access of OTC devices with the high quality of prescription ones.
“Manufactured in-house, our OTC hearing aids deliver performance comparable to traditional prescription hearing aids at just one-third of the price,” says Joy Zhou, director of sales and marketing.
Yeasound’s products are the nextgeneration evolution in hearing aid technology. Its technological proficiency is rooted in the 24-year audio engineering expertise of its parent company, Yealink, a premium provider of business headsets and video conference system hardware. The hearing aids are manufactured with top-tier proprietary chips and key components developed in-house that reduce the cost.
Removing another barrier to access is its AI-powered iYeasound app. Its intelligent cloud system leverages a massive prescription database to deliver fast, accurate hearing profiles and three preset profiles covering over 80 percent of common hearing loss types. Through a custom-built workflow that combines a mobile app, personal computer and video consultations, the app integrates with remote fine-tuning services. It conveniently eliminates the need for multiple in-person fittings and adjustment sessions, further promoting access.
A testament to Yeasound transforming lives by ensuring access is when it supported a user unable to afford her $4000+ prescription hearing aids due to expenses from her husband’s multiple surgeries. It offered her a cost-effective, warranty-backed, prescription-grade OTC solution. Her response, “You gave me back my life,” sums up the net impact.

It is a premium AI-driven hearing solution featuring advanced noise cancellation, tinnitus-masking, Bluetooth streaming, IPX8 waterproofing and Auracast technology. A combination of these features empowers users to enjoy music, movies, notifications and meditation. These experiences are made possible by Yeasound’s impressive software features.Greater sound clarity is achieved with sophisticated audio algorithms featuring advanced WDRC processing, acoustic feedback cancellation and adaptive noise reduction that deliver real-time acoustic optimization. These features proved advantageous to a user with long-term hearing loss facing repeated
disappointments with multiple OTC hearing aids. Yeasound’s product helped them hear better and distinguish sounds clearly through intelligent noise suppression.
Committed to ensuring continued access to hearing aids, Yeasound invests in a widespread distributor network and is keen on expanding it further by collaborating with more channel partners. As a comprehensive solution ecosystem provider, it offers full lifecycle sales support to distributors through high-margin sales models, end-to-end marketing tool kits and a structured user education and conversion system.
