Neurotone AI

What Neurotone AI does

Neurotone AI is a privately held Delaware-incorporated hearing technology company that builds AI-powered auditory training and aural rehabilitation software, built on more than 20 years of LACE (Listening and Communication Enhancement) clinical science, 10+ clinical trials, and 80+ academic publications. Its flagship product, Lace Pro, delivers adaptive speech-in-noise, rapid speech, and working memory training exercises selected in real time by personalization algorithms, supported by a content library of 10,000+ exercises across 30+ topics; the company also offers Tinnitus Pro for tinnitus management. Both products are localized in 10 languages and are available via a patient-facing app (app.laceauditorytraining.com) and a provider-facing practice portal (portal.neurotone.com).

The company distributes Lace Pro exclusively through certified hearing healthcare provider practices — primarily audiologists and hearing aid dispensers — that must complete a certification program before offering the platform to patients; the white-label patient app is rebranded per practice. A clinic locator lists 1,165+ certified audiology clinics worldwide. Revenue is generated via subscription / recurring license sold through the provider channel at quote-based pricing negotiated during onboarding, with bundling alongside hearing aid fittings as the primary use case; third-party clinical trials with Starkey and Sycle have reported 80–90% reductions in hearing aid return rates when Lace Pro is bundled with hearing aids. Neurotone AI has raised approximately $2.59M cumulatively across SEC Form D tranches (April 2024, February 2025, January 2026) and is operationally headquartered in Gainesville, Florida with 11–50 employees.

Broad incumbents

• Starkey: One of the largest hearing aid manufacturers globally. A current research partner that ran trials validating Lace Pro, and a potential competitor if it bundles proprietary auditory training into its hearing aid ecosystem.
• Phonak (Sonova): Major hearing aid manufacturer with growing investment in digital health and auditory training adjacent services, representing both a potential partner and competitive threat.
• Oticon (Demant): Global hearing aid manufacturer with a portfolio approach to hearing healthcare that could include auditory training adjacencies, comparable as a strategic player in the same provider ecosystem.
• GN Hearing (ReSound): Hearing aid manufacturer with expanding digital services strategy, operating in the same audiology provider channel as Neurotone AI.
• Widex: Hearing aid manufacturer with WIDEX EVOKE and related AI-driven hearing solutions; relevant as a potential partner or competitor in the hearing aid bundled-training category.

Direct peers

• Amptify: Direct competitor offering digital aural rehabilitation and listening training programs delivered through audiologists and hearing healthcare providers — overlapping patient population, distribution model, and clinical use cases.
• Sycle: Practice management software platform for audiologists and hearing healthcare practices; ran clinical trials with Neurotone and competes for the same provider software budget.
• Cognihear: Auditory training platform focused on cognitive and listening training for hearing-impaired patients; direct overlap on product offering and clinical use cases.

Emerging players

• Posit Science (BrainHQ): Cognitive training platform with adjacent focus on auditory processing and brain training for older adults; competes for brain-training positioning though without hearing-aid-specific clinical workflows.
