Spokeo is a listening assistant designed to make communication easier between family carers and loved ones with hearing loss.
Whether supporting an older parent at home, visiting a care facility or attending a medical appointment, the solution helps restore fluent, natural and relaxed conversations without constant repetition or raised voices.
The solution uses a smart wireless microphone worn by the carer, which captures their voice and transmits it directly to a headset using patented dual-conduction technology (air and bone conduction) worn by the person with hearing loss. By prioritising the speaker’s voice and reducing surrounding noise, Spokeo significantly improves speech intelligibility, including in noisy environments such as care homes, hospitals and public places. No complex adjustments, app or medical prescription are required.
Spokeo is intended to complement a conventional hearing aid, or offer an accessible solution when someone does not wear a hearing aid, cannot tolerate one or does not wish to use one. It is particularly suited to older people with mild to moderate hearing loss, sometimes accompanied by reduced independence or cognitive impairments.
Simple, lightweight and ready to use, Spokeo supports carers in everyday situations. By removing hearing-related barriers, it helps preserve the dignity of the person receiving support, strengthen family relationships and reduce the mental load on family carers.
Spokeo offers several benefits for carers
- Restore clear communication with a loved one who has developed hearing loss.
- Reduce fatigue caused by repetition and misunderstandings.
- Maintain calmer family relationships by limiting frustration on both sides.
- Make conversations easier during meals, outings, visits and medical appointments.
- Support social connections and independence through better communication.
