It's from a personal need of our co-founder Jean-Philippe MARIE DE CHASTENAY that SOUNDUCT emerged: how to restore hearing for his father affected by unilateral deafness and profound hearing loss in the other ear. Afflicted by otospongiosis, his father experienced ear damage during a surgical operation. The second ear was also affected, and age-related hearing loss was added.

For our second co-founder, Olivier GAUTHIER, it's his father-in-law who has bilateral profound deafness. He also suffers from Alzheimer's disease, which highlights issues related to speech intelligibility and comprehension, especially in noisy environments.

In both cases, and for many other hearing-impaired individuals, conventional hearing aids are not very effective. Consequently, Jean-Philippe initiated the first stage of R&D in 2017 to restore his father's hearing. Olivier quickly joined the project to structure and fund this groundbreaking innovation. Sounduct was established in 2021 and is now accelerating its roadmap...
