Earzz's groundbreaking technology goes beyond traditional alerting devices, by combining cutting-edge proprietary sound-recognition AI technology with smart alerting capabilities to help deaf people recognise and get notified for a number of important sounds at home, adding independence and freedom to their daily lives. From doorbells to smoke alarms to knocks on the door, Earzz’s fully customisable alerting system notifies users on their phones, tablets and smartwatches for the sounds they choose, ensuring timely visual, auditory and vibration alerts for important sounds at home, wherever they are. Users can choose the sounds they wish to get alerted for from a variety of sounds like buzzers, appliance beeps, doorbells, dogs barking, baby cries, coughs or even snoring. It also recognises and alerts for safety-related sounds, such as fire alarms, glass breaks and burglar sirens, adding peace of mind.

Our Collaboration

Paul Newbury, a profoundly deaf individual who independently tested the Earzz alerting system, expressed his gratitude for the partnership, stating, "What really struck me was when Earzz alerted me to the water running sounds in my kitchen even before my son informed me and the question from my son - "So, I don’t have to tell you anymore?!” Earzz's technology has given me more freedom and independence at home by alerting me to various sounds and through this collaboration, I am so pleased that more deaf people can benefit from this innovative solution.” 

‍

CEO of Earzz, Pradyumna Thiruvenkatanathan, echoed Paul Newbury's sentiment, remarking, "We are incredibly honoured to collaborate with the Royal Association for Deaf people and to be part of such a transformative partnership. Earzz’s mission has always been to make sounds accessible to everyone. We want a world where anyone can listen for any sounds they wish, without needing to be physically present, irrespective of their hearing ability, and this collaboration brings us one step closer to achieving that goal."

‍

Interim CEO of RAD, Andrew Dewey, remarked, "Earzz's innovative technology aligns perfectly with our goals of enhancing safety and well-being for deaf people, and we are thrilled about the positive impact this collaboration will have on our community."
