Slac offers a new way for people with hearing loss to fully engage with diverse sounds of daily life. From audio content to bus announcements, sound is a vital part of how we connect with the world. However, traditional hearing aids, which simply amplify sound, often fail to deliver the clarity users need and build stereotypes with their design. As hearing loss becomes more common among people in their 10s to 40s, Slac overcomes these limitations with a stylish, accessory-like design that can be worn every day. It also provides precise sound adjustments tailored to individual hearing loss types, helping users hear sounds that best suit them.
