How a round of drinks inspired the future of hearing tech

Let's start by setting the scene: you're at a busy restaurant. There's music playing and every table is buzzing with conversation. Some family or friends just walked in, laughing, and the place feels alive.

You have every reason to enjoy yourself, but something is off… It's nearly impossible to hear in the midst of all the noise. This experience has a name. It’s what doctors call “the cocktail party effect.” And for people over the age of 50, it's a very real problem.

Luckily, it’s also what inspired the world’s best audio engineers to conquer the issue of background noise once and for all. The result? hear.com’s revolutionary new Horizon IX device. And it’s causing a stir at cocktail parties everywhere...

Horizon IX hearing aids cut through the noise to make every word and moment crystal clear. This effectively cancels out what experts call “the cocktail party effect.”

The tiny device that’s conquering background noise

Now, take a moment to imagine yourself in a busy restaurant again. The music is blaring, there's plenty of noise—only now, you've turned back time. It feels like 20 or 30 years ago. You're part of the conversation. Every word is crystal clear. It's effortless.

This is what Horizon IX devices are doing for people all over the U.S.

Here's how it works: Horizon IX hearing aids contain the world’s first-ever dual processing system, meaning it has not one, but two state-of-the-art computer chips. Until now, hearing aids have relied on just a single processor to perform their two most critical functions—noise reduction and speech clarity.

However, dual processors are able to capture speech and noise independently, then combine them to create an almost superhuman level of hearing in any situation… even a crowded cocktail party.

Two separate processors, one virtually invisible device. At just 2.7cm, Horizon IX is easily the smallest, smartest hearing aid on the market today.

Experts say “there's no better time” to join the party

In many ways, the release of Horizon IX marks a new era in hearing aid technology. Not only do these devices check all the boxes in terms of size and features—with Bluetooth, a slick smartphone app, and a virtually invisible design—they’re changing the quality of people’s social lives in a concrete way.

Lead Audiologist, Dr. Emily Smith explains, “Horizon IX is a total game-changer for my patients. Every day, I talk to people who avoid seeing their families or even going out in public because of their hearing. With this new innovation, they have a real shot at getting their lives back. And it’s because of the level of clarity. Noise just isn’t an issue anymore.”

Virtually invisible, Horizon IX sits comfortably behind your ear. In fact, many users say that people can't even tell they're wearing a hearing aid.

Dr. Smith continues, “We’ve been waiting for a breakthrough like Horizon IX for so long. If you’ve ever thought about trying hearing aids, there’s truly never been a better time.” And with the 45-day trial and money-back guarantee, there's really no reason not to.
