Better hearing. Automatic upgrades. One simple membership.
Exploring a New Way to Access Hearing Technology in Australia
We’re assessing interest in a membership‑based approach to hearing technology. Predictable and accessible monthly pricing, access to modern hearing devices, and aftercare and support included as part of a membership.
Potential Upgrade Pathways
We’re exploring a membership model that gives people access to regular device refreshes. Instead of holding onto the same hearing technology for years, members could move to newer models over time as part of their subscription.
The goal is to make hearing technology feel more like other modern devices, where staying current is simple, predictable, and built in.
Choosing a hearing devices can feel like a chore - so many options - so many opinions. We want to create accessible hearing for the masses - using up to date, current technology, to meet your hearing needs.
If this concept resonates with people, we may open an early‑access pilot later this year.

Curious how $150/month compares to buying hearing technology outright?
This simple comparison shows the difference.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Traditional Purchase Membership Model │

│ Upfront cost: $6,000 Startup cost: $499 │
│ Upgrade cycle: 3 years Monthly fee: $150 │

Most people end up paying less overall and stay more up‑to‑date.
---------------------------------------------------------
Traditional hearing aids can cost up to $6,000 upfront. Our model is about $4,100 over two years, with an automatic upgrade at 24 months and no extra fees. Most people wouldn’t replace a $6,000 device after two years — but our model makes staying up‑to‑date simple. This is for research purposes only and doesn’t represent any contract.
Why we’re asking
Getting hearing technology can feel more complicated than it needs to be — big upfront costs, confusing options, slow upgrade cycles. We’re exploring a new membership model that could make things simpler.
This survey helps us understand:
What the current process is like for Australians
Whether a membership model feels like a better fit
Which features matter most (pricing, support, upgrades, simplicity)
Whether an early pilot is worth building
You’re not signing up for anything. Your input simply helps shape what we might create next.
Lower upfront cost – payments could be spread over time
Simple monthly pricing – designed to avoid unexpected costs
Access to hearing technology – exploring options with recognised suppliers
Support included – planned as part of the membership
Upgrade pathways – potential options to refresh devices over time
Your feedback matters
We’re using this survey to understand whether Australians would be interested in a membership‑based approach to hearing technology. Your answers are anonymous, and you can leave contact details only if you’d like updates.
