Sound Scout's mission is to help eliminate undetected hearing loss in children. The aim is to provide an accessible hearing test solution for school-aged children and adults across Australia & around the world.
Recognising that mobile game technology could hold the key to creating this Sound Scouts partnered with the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) the research arm of Hearing Australia. Combining technology with science allowed Sound Scouts to create an app that provides parents, schools & healthcare professionals with direct access to an innovative and clinically validated hearing check solution.
"The hearing health-care system has been missing a low-cost, easily administered, reliable hearing test that can be widely applied to children at school entry so that no child has to go through school at a disadvantage because of unmanaged hearing loss." Hearing Professor Harvey Dillon.
Since its inception, Sound Scouts has been honoured with multiple national and international awards celebrating both our innovative approach to hearing screening and our creative use of technology.
The Sound Scouts team are passionate about helping all children to access the app. Although a small company, Sound Scouts works hard to build hearing awareness both in schools and with parents, as well as health professionals. With the app being used in rural, remote and metro locations, the app has helped detected countless children with hearing loss and made a real difference to their lives.
