The Problem
Clinicians can't monitor and track home practice, unable to ensure patients complete prescribed exercises remotely.
$2,000–$5,000
Spent out-of-pocket for 20+ therapy sessions at $100–250 each
Limited Access
Rural patients travel hours to see an audiologist; US faces severe shortage
No Home Tools
Patients practice 1-2x/week with no structured feedback between sessions
What is Aural Rehabilitation?
The journey to hearing comprehension
Device Activation
Patient receives a hearing aid or cochlear implant. Sounds are now audible, but not yet meaningful.
Auditory Training
Structured practice to distinguish sounds, recognize words, and comprehend speech. Requires repetition over months or years.
Ongoing Monitoring
Audiologists assess progress, adjust devices, and prescribe targeted exercises. Typically requires in-person visits.
Clinical Validation & Social Proof
What audiologists are saying
“I saw a patient at their 3 week follow up after activation. She showed me her favorite rehab app she had been using and it was your app! She really likes it.”
Audiologist
Rady Children's Hospital
“I am an audiologist but also CI recipient (bimodal). I would love to try your app as I am always looking for aural rehabilitation tools to share, especially when it is accessible! I find this is something that is lacking for adults.”
Audiologist & CI Recipient
via AB Community Gateway
“BTW — I see so many patients who use your app, it is so cool to tell them I know the developer. Always here if you need anything from AB!”

Why I Built Hearify
Built by someone who lived it.
I am a bilateral cochlear implant recipient since childhood. I've lived through the auditory rehabilitation journey myself and experienced the pains of consumers.
I built Hearify because I know firsthand what patients need, and what's missing.
