In 2018, Lyratone introduced the concept of Software-Defined Hearing methodology and architecture, aimed at revolutionizing the next generation of hearing aids. These innovative devices are designed to be highly customizable, offering greater flexibility and agility in incorporating cutting-edge technology. Through software control and updates, they dynamically adapt to varying levels of hearing loss and changing environments, ensuring optimal performance for users.

With Software-Defined Hearing, we exert precise control over the core functions of hearing aid sound processing through software. These functions encompass WDRC, noise reduction, feedback management, and fitting. The central premise is to abstract the traditional hardware-dependent functions of hearing aids into a software layer. In Software-Defined Hearing, all aspects of hearing functionality are governed and managed by this software layer, thereby revolutionizing the conventional paradigm of hearing aid technology.
