ROSEVILLE, Calif., April 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire -- InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (OTC: INND) ("InnerScope"), an emerging and disruptive leader in the Direct-to-Consumer Hearing Device and Hearing Health Technology space, announces that it has signed a Letter of Intent Agreement (the "LOI Agreement") with Audio Cardio Inc. dba AudioCardio™("AudioCardio"), granting InnerScope a worldwide license (excluding Japan, Korea, and China) for full commercial rights to develop, market, and sell an InnerScope branded subscription-based mobile app (InnerScope's "Hearing Therapy App") utilizing AudioCardio™ proprietary software which has clinically proven Threshold Sound Conditioning technology, i.e., "Physical Therapy for Your Hearing."
Additional terms of the LOI Agreement, AudioCardio will also grant the rights for InnerScope to market and resell the AudioCardio™Hearing Training sound therapy mobile subscription-based app (currently offered on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store) in any country (excluding Japan, Korea, and China) through its various retail distribution channels and websites during the time of InnerScope's Hearing Therapy App is being developed. The LOI Agreement requires InnerScope and AudioCardio to execute a material definitive agreement within 60 days of signing the LOI Agreement.
The proposed transaction allows both InnerScope and AudioCardio to achieve greater market penetration by creating visibility and awareness for Threshold Sound Conditioning Therapy in treating sensorineural hearing loss and treating tinnitus (ringing in the ears) due to otoacoustic trauma. InnerScope believes its subscription-based Hearing Therapy App can reach tens of millions of people worldwide suffering from hearing loss and/or tinnitus that either can't afford or may not have access to hearing health services but does own or has access to a smartphone.
InnerScope plans on marketing its Hearing Therapy App for a monthly, semi-annual, and annual subscription starting at $14.99 per month to an estimated 188+ million people who own a smartphone and have sensorineural hearing loss. Based on minimum milestones for paid monthly subscribers outlined in the LOI Agreement, InnerScope expects to achieve minimum monthly net revenues of over $64,000 from paid subscribers in the first year and expects exponential growth in monthly paid subscribers year over year.
AudioCardio™Proprietary Threshold Sound Conditioning - "Physical Therapy for Your Hearing."
Threshold Sound Conditioning Therapy technology detects the key frequencies that have lost sensitivity (commonly due to noise exposure and aging) and exercises them with personalized sound signals.
AudioCardio users assess their hearing to generate personalized barely audible sound therapies to maintain and strengthen their hearing.
AudioCardio's Threshold Sound Conditioning works by understanding an individual's lowest threshold of sound (minimum audible level) at several frequency ranges for each ear via their in-app hearing assessment. Once a baseline threshold has been established for each frequency range, the Threshold Sound Conditioning algorithm (sound therapy) targets the most damaged range of frequencies per ear by stimulating the cells responsible for transmitting the "noise" from our environment into electrical signals. These electrical signals are then transmitted to the brain through the auditory system to be interpreted and perceived as sound. The sound therapy is played at the barely audible or just inaudible level based on each hearing assessment. After consistent use, the inaudible sound therapy may become audible, indicating progress. AudioCardio's sound therapy is then adjusted through subsequent hearing assessments for new hearing thresholds as customers make progress using the app.
Clinically Proven Threshold Sound Conditioning – Back by Data and Science
AudioCardio's technology has been clinically proven in a double-blind randomized controlled trial conducted with Stanford University and Palo Alto Medical Foundation. 78% of the participants had more than a 10 decibel change in their hearing for the frequencies that were targeted.
- AudioCardio's technology had recently published a randomized controlled clinical study with Stanford University*. *The study can be found at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7314479/
- AudioCardio's technology also has been clinically validated with distinguished research facilities, proving the efficacy of Threshold Sound Conditioning. A white paper regarding the science of sound therapy can also be read here.
Chris Ellis, President and CEO of Audio Cardio Inc., commented, "We are very excited about the opportunity of partnering with InnerScope. We believe that AudioCardio will bring unique value and capabilities to InnerScope's Direct-to-Consumer product offering to help accelerate the development and overall growth of InnerScope.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to utilize AudioCardio's proprietary software, including their clinically proven Threshold Sound Conditioning technology for InnerScope's Hearing Therapy App," said Matthew Moore, CEO of InnerScope Hearing Technologies.
