Yeasound
Democratizing Access to Advanced Hearing

For millions around the world, hearing aid is a luxury. Highincome 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.

Hearing Care Powered by a Robust Tech Foundation

Yeasound’s hearing aids blend inhouse innovation with premium-grade components, such as microphones, receivers and batteries from trusted suppliers. The devices also feature compact wireless charging, delivering up to 31 hours of battery life after a single charge, eliminating the hassle of frequent battery charges or changing tiny button batteries.

The high commitment to quality extends to Yeasound’s production ethos. Its manufacturing practices, design and packaging are compliant with QSR Part 820. Each device undergoes industry-leading reliability tests such as 30,000 swing cycles, IPX8 waterproofing, and drop/pull resistance, ensuring long-term durability and stability.

Beyond technicalities, Yeasound is committed to enhancing the quality of life and promoting joyful living by restoring hearing. This is best exemplified by its latest product, the Yeasound RIC800. 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 toolkits and a structured user education and conversion system.

As hearing aids transform from clinical tools to smart wearables, OTC devices are making hearing care mainstream by bringing it from hospitals to homes. Yeasound stands at the vanguard of this transition, democratizing access to affordable, advanced hearing care like never before.
