FRANKFURT/MÜNSTER, GERMANY — Four international start-ups have been selected to participate in the 70th International Congress of Hearing Care Professionals, taking place as part of EUHA 2026 in Hanover.
Each company will receive a complimentary stand within the EUHA Industry Exhibition. Small presentation spaces will also be available in the EUHA Live Area, the event’s networking and stage area in Hall 6.
The participating companies were selected based on several criteria, including the technical relevance of their products and services to the hearing care industry and the innovative nature of their business ideas.
Four Start-Ups Selected for EUHA 2026
SingularMind — Canada
SingularMind Inc. develops artificial intelligence-powered solutions for the diagnosis and treatment of subjective tinnitus. Through a web-based teleaudiology platform, patients are assessed, individually classified, and treated using a combination of acoustic therapy and psychological support.
The company aims to make high-quality audiological care more accessible worldwide while reducing costs and the need for in-person clinic visits.
At the EUHA Congress, SingularMind will present its digital tinnitus platform, promote scientific exchange with international experts, and demonstrate how artificial intelligence can support more personalized hearing care. The company also hopes to establish new collaborations with research organizations, industry partners, and clinics.
MindAffect — Netherlands
MindAffect is a Dutch medical technology company developing an objective hearing assessment system based on AI-supported brain-computer interface technology.
The company’s SOFI system is designed to generate an objective audiogram in approximately 10 minutes, particularly for patients who are unable to participate fully in conventional behavioral hearing tests.
MindAffect plans to introduce SOFI to an international professional audience in Hanover and gather feedback from hearing care professionals and audiologists to support the system’s continued development.
Xenylab — France
Xenylab is developing a virtual reality system for diagnosing hearing disorders through sound localization testing. The application is intended to become a medical device for both the diagnosis and rehabilitation of people with hearing loss.
Initial studies and practical trials conducted with research institutions and a major hearing aid company have produced successful results, according to the company.
Participation in the EUHA Congress will give Xenylab an opportunity to present its virtual reality technology to a European professional audience, establish new business relationships, and connect with potential customers.
HearScribe — United Kingdom
HearScribe is an AI-powered software platform designed to automate documentation associated with audiological consultations.
The system can generate clinical notes, patient information, administrative tasks, and physician letters without storing patient data. Developed by practicing audiologists, the platform is already being used by paying customers in the United Kingdom.
HearScribe plans to introduce its solution to an international professional audience for the first time and expand its reach within the hearing care industry.
Networking and Educational Programming
The EUHA Live Area will also provide opportunities for attendees to connect with start-ups, representatives from universities and higher education institutions, and participants from the Netherlands, this year’s partner country.
A program of short, practice-oriented presentations will be held on the EUHA Live Area stage throughout all three days of the congress. Presentation topics will be announced in advance.
