For Singular Hearing CEO and HeardThat creator Bruce Sharpe, the excitement was palpable as tech enthusiasts, innovators, and AI aficionados gathered at the prestigious CogX Awards 2023 on September 12 in London. The awards program, a part of the CogX Festival, celebrated excellence in AI, technology, and innovation, honoring the visionaries who are reshaping the world with their groundbreaking ideas.

CogX CEO Charlie Muirhead set the tone for the evening with an inspiring message: "We come together to celebrate not just technology and AI, but the human spirit behind every line of code, algorithm, and disruptive idea." Muirhead's words underscored the profound impact of technology on our lives and the relentless drive of individuals to bring about change.

Not long into the evening, HeardThat was honored with the Best AI Product in the Health category at the CogX Awards 2023. This recognition cemented HeardThat's leadership in addressing a common yet critical problem – the challenge of hearing conversations in noisy environments.

HeardThat's victory was particularly noteworthy, given that it was one of five finalists in the Health category. The award recognizes the app's innovative deep learning-based algorithms that effectively separate speech from background noise, providing users with effortless conversations. One of HeardThat’s goals is to combat the growing issue of social isolation caused by hearing difficulties.

According to the CDC, untreated hearing loss can lead to mental and cognitive health issues, including dementia, heart disease, depression, anxiety, and more. HeardThat steps in as a solution by improving the intelligibility of conversations for users, helping them re-engage in social settings and reducing the feelings of social isolation.

The CogX Awards judging panel praised HeardThat for its groundbreaking approach, which leverages the power of AI to turn smartphones into sophisticated hearing-assistive devices. This innovation ensures everyone can enjoy crystal-clear conversations even in bustling environments.

HeardThat's journey to winning this CogX award reflects the incredible advancements in AI and the profound impact that technology can have on individuals' lives.
