About Soundhawk

Soundhawk was a company that developed a smart listening system. The device, also called Soundhawk, was a wearable piece of hardware that looked like a small bluetooth headset and was designed to help people hear better in noisy situations. The system included a wireless microphone and a smartphone app that allowed users to personalize their hearing settings.

The company targeted consumers who were not ready for a traditional hearing aid but wanted some assistance in specific environments, like restaurants or meetings. The business model was based on selling the hardware directly to consumers. The company was founded by Rodney Perkins, a well-known otologist, and had a team with experience from major tech companies like Apple and Palm.
