Frictionless and inclusive technology
<p>In today’s digital world, we’ve grown accustomed to seeing new tech hit the market at a rapid pace. While understandable, this can cause challenges for some, for example, people with disabilities such as hearing and sight impairments, whose needs get overlooked.</p>

A cochlear implant is an electronic medical device which stimulates inside the inner ear (cochlea) to provide sound signals to the brain. It’s vastly superior to the conventional hearing-aid — akin to replacing an ordinary pair of headphones with a pair from Bang & Olufsen!</p>
