Xander®

When you can’t hear what others are saying, XanderGlasses help you see what others saying. The World Health Organization estimates that 1.5 billion people worldwide have disabling hearing loss, yet only 17% of them get hearing aids or cochlear implants. That means 83% of people who have hearing loss suffer or struggle in silence–literally. Being unable to hear and understand what others are saying can be frustrating. It can lead to withdrawal and social isolation. 

Our team empathizes with the complex problems caused by hearing loss. Our founder and CEO, Alex Westner, spent 20 years in the audio engineering industry, working to help machines better process and understand the nuances of sound. Drawing on his experience, he led the team in developing proprietary software for XanderGlasses, smartglasses that caption speech in real-time to augment listening.
