Hearable Definition
A connected ear-worn device,
typically functioning as an audio
earbud, biometric monitor and/or
augmented hearing device.
©2017 Valencell. Inc
Four key technologies enabling hearables
Biometrics
• Vital signs (HR, BR, BP, RRi, etc.)
• Health & fitness assessments
• Biometric identification
Hearing enhancement
• Active acoustic noise cancellation
• Pass-through
• Active listening
Smart UI
• Voice control
• Intuitive motion control
• Intuitive biometric control
Cloud-based AI

Market forces are driving the adoption of hearables
Market Force Growth Trend Relation to Hearables
Growth in Biometric Wearables 20 – 30% CAGR
Natural extension of fitness tech and consumers
exercising with headphones
Growth of Aging Population >50% growth over next 15 years
Generates demand for biometric hearing aids and
ear-worn medical devices
IoT & Human-Computer Interface >20% CAGR
Many signs point to voice being the next platform for
human-computer interaction
Introduction of True Wireless Headphones ~300%-500% growth in 2017
Opens up electronic real estate for integrating
advanced features
Removal of 3.5mm audio jack in many new
mobile phones
>10M phones Creates consumer need for wireless headsets

Technical hurdles stand between “niche” markets
and mass consumer adoption
• Stable, seamless Bluetooth/wireless connectivity (no drop-outs)
• Balancing advanced features with size, comfort and power management
• Long-term comfort for extended wear use cases
• Compelling use cases to leverage advanced features
• Getting at least some hearables down to the $99 price point
©2017 Valencell. Inc
Summary
• Hearables are poised for tremendous growth
• This growth is being driven by several independent market forces
• Before mass market adoption (10M+ users) can be realized,
a few technical challenges remain
We’ll make your
wearable work!
