# 2024 Sofi Hearing Diagnostics |
|
Sofi revolutionises hearing diagnostics by using advanced Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) and AI technology to deliver fast, accurate, and patient-friendly assessments. Unlike traditional methods that rely on patient responses, this system monitors brain activity with an EEG headband while the patient listens to sounds. This approach provides objective results, making it especially useful for young children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities, and is 20 times faster and more accurate than conventional tests, simplifying early diagnosis and treatment for the 1.6 billion people worldwide affected by hearing loss
