SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – Today, Olive Union marked the market launch of its all-new true wireless earbuds and hearing aids – the Olive Max. With a wraparound design resembling popular consumer earbuds rather than traditional hearing aids, the Olive Max continues Olive Union’s efforts to combat barriers to hearing aid adoption using innovative design and technology.
“We are thrilled to start 2024 with the arrival of the Olive Max. This is the next step in our continued mission to bring affordable and attractive wearables to the hearing loss community and help reduce the stigma associated with hearing loss. Research has shown untreated hearing loss contributes to cognitive issues related to memory. One of our primary goals at Olive is to improve relationships and mental health through hearing treatment.”
–Owen Song, Founder and CEO of Olive Union
Said to offer louder and clearer sound than the preceding Olive Pro, the Olive Max is a fully-equipped OTC hearing aid designed with the appearance and functionality of Bluetooth headphones.
With noise amplification made to aid those with mild to moderate hearing loss (26 to 55 dB HL range), the Olive Max is designed to be a sleek and sporty hearing aid crafted to reduce background noise and amplify clearer conversations. Users can enjoy the benefits of hearing aids with the wrap-around design of performance earbuds.
The Olive Max is available for purchase on OliveUnion.com at $398 USD. It is outfitted with the following features:
- True wireless music listening and hands-free calling
- A rechargeable battery with up to 10 hours of continuous use and 30-minute quick charging case
- Additional eartips to fit each user’s ears
- AI recommended presets in the My Olive App that match user hearing profiles
