Alango Unveils Hearing Augmentation Technology on Snapdragon S7 at CES 2025

Hearables and hearing augmentation applications are major trends for consumer electronics, and at CES 2025 Alango Technologies will reveal what the company describes as "a transformative breakthrough". As a member of the Qualcomm Voice and Music Extension Program, Alango will be one of the first companies to unveil a complete hearing augmentation solution running on Qualcomm Technologies' advanced Snapdragon S7 Sound platform. This collaboration allows Alango to bring a ready-to-market solution for personalized audio in true wireless earbuds.

Good news for designers of Bluetooth earbuds and hearables relying on Qualcomm’s audio SoCs and looking for differentiating features. Their products can now offer improved voice clarity in noisy or windy environments using Alango’s OnlyVoice advanced technology for true wireless earbuds and high-performance headsets. Also available on QCC5141 is VoiceFirst, which improves speech intelligibility in movies through de-emphasis of background sounds and music.

Sonion, the manufacturer of components and solutions for hearing aids and in-ear headphones, announced that it is now a member of the Qualcomm Extension Program and will offer the Sonion Voice Pick Up Bone Sensor on the Qualcomm Ultra-Low Power QCC5100 Bluetooth SoC series in Q1 2020. The combination will allow other audio manufacturers to implement reliable voice quality and voice recognition applications that are not hindered by surrounding noise.
