WOID AS consists of entrepreneurs; Mariel Ellingsen, the CEO, and Ivanna Ustymenko, the COO. Together they have broad knowledge and expertise regarding tech- and business development. WOID AS is a welfare and tech company. Compassion, inclusion, and social equality are our core values. We must put people at the center of development to create value in society. Hearing aids are often paired with external microphones or speech enhancers for situations with a lot of background noise ormultiple speakers. The company creates an application that digitalizes this assistive technology. Taking advantage of smartphones, we remove excess devices while providing a satisfactory sound experience. This is done by implementing cutting-edge technology for audio transfer while utilizing machine learning for noise reduction on commodity hardware. This solution will become more economically and physically accessible than the ones offered on the market today.
