be a number of hearables coming to market over the next several
months based on our WattUp hearing aid / PSAP reference design,”
said Stephen R. Rizzone president and CEO of Energous Corporation.
“We believe the features, functionality and performance associated
with our hearing aid reference design will enable a whole new
generation of hearing devices. The NewSound announcement is

into hearables to advance the industry forward.”

of the major pain points of our users. The biggest pain point is

we are excited to be showcasing this next generation hearing aid
solution, which alleviates that frustration for users,” said Boyang
Li, CTO of NewSound.
Each year, EUHA brings together the world’s largest group of
