About Us

At HearingDB.org, our mission is to create an online platform dedicated to hearing devices, designed to be open and accessible to everyone with hearing difficulties. We leverage the power of crowdsourcing for continuous updates, ensuring our information stays current and comprehensive.

Hearing loss treatment options are rapidly evolving, with new technologies and expanding indications for various wearable and implantable devices. Patients with hearing difficulties often struggle to understand their options and navigate the complex hearing care system.

Clinical time for counseling on hearing device options is often limited, making it challenging to introduce all eligible options.
As the list of hearing device brands and models grows extensively, HearingDB.org provides a comprehensive online platform that introduces all hearing device options and their indications.

Janet S. Choi, MD MPH, Founder

HearingDB.org was inspired by my quest to find the right hearing aid for my own left-sided hearing loss, as well as from the multitude of patient stories I have encountered in my clinical practice. Today’s hearing device technology is evolving rapidly, offering an array of choices to address diverse hearing needs. Yet, such abundance can also lead to a labyrinth of confusion in hearing health care decisions.


Our mission is to demystify this journey, guiding you through the vibrant landscape of hearing solutions. We provide a rich repository of information, images, and resources, all designed to navigate you toward optimal hearing.

Our research team is dedicated to advancing hearing health and promoting the adoption of hearing devices for everyone in need. It’s a site envisioned to redefine hearing devices, elevating them from functional devices to iconic elements of style and self-expression.
