When a loved one has hearing loss, you hear these words every day:
- “Can you say that again?”You repeat the same sentence three times.
- “Mm-hmm… mm-hmm…”They nod without understanding, so you won't have to repeat yourself.
- “No need to shout!”Speaking louder doesn't help them understand better.
Even if their hearing has changed…with Spokeo, you can shape what happens between you when you talk to them.
How it works:
a microphone for you, a headset for them
Spokeo is a prescription-free listening assistant, designed in France. You speak into a small microphone and your loved one hears you through a headset: your voice reaches them directly and clearly, without the surrounding noise, thanks to patented technology. For once, the effort is shared: they have nothing to adjust and nothing to put in their ears.
- Clip on the microphone.On your collar, close to your mouth: it picks up your voice, not the noise in the room.
- Put the headset on them.Nothing in the ear: sound travels through the air and through the bones of the skull.
- Talk normally.Everything connects automatically, with no settings and no app. They can hear you up to 10 metres away.
Spokeo in everyday life
At the table
Even in the hubbub of a meal, they clearly hear what you say to them, and can finally answer straight away.
During visits
At home or in a care home, you speak normally and they hear you straight away. Visiting as a group? Just pass the microphone around.
At the doctor's or pharmacy
The professional wears the microphone during the appointment: instructions and dosage are understood the first time.
Phone and TV
Via Bluetooth, the headset connects to a phone, tablet or TV, at the volume that suits your loved one.

What families say

“Until the day she could no longer wear her hearing aids. […] At the very first try, her face suddenly lit up. Her smile came back. Since then she can take part in activities again and sing karaoke.”
“It changed the life of our mum (97) and ours, because we can communicate again”
“At last, we can have a conversation with my father. I recommend the product.”
“The few residents of the care home without hearing aids (or even unable to use them) for whom we intended it were able to talk naturally for the first time in a long while.”

Is Spokeo right for your loved one?
Spokeo makes the speaker's voice clearer. It does not replace a diagnosis, nor hearing aids when they are needed.
Spokeo is for you if
- Your loved one can still hear, even poorly, but you no longer understand each other day to day
- They don't wear a hearing aid, refuse one or can no longer bear it
- You need help at specific moments: a meal, a visit, a medical appointment
- You want a simple solution, with no prescription and no settings, to use together
Talk to a professional first if
- Your loved one can no longer hear at all: in case of profound deafness, a cochlear implant is the option to discuss with an ENT specialist
- They want to hear every sound around them again (the doorbell, the street, birdsong): Spokeo transmits only the voice of the person wearing the microphone, without the surrounding noise. To hear everything day to day, a hearing care professional will be able to advise them
- Their hearing loss is sudden, or comes with pain or dizziness: see a doctor quickly
In all cases, a hearing test with an ENT specialist remains the first step.
Caregivers' frequently asked questions
How do you communicate with a loved one with hearing loss day to day?
A few simple habits already make conversations easier:
- face them, in a quiet place;
- get their attention before speaking;
- turn off the TV or radio;
- speak clearly without raising your voice;
- rephrase rather than repeat;
- write down the essentials.
Also suggest a hearing test with an ENT specialist. When these habits are no longer enough, a listening assistant like Spokeo takes over: you wear the microphone, they wear the headset. All our tips for communicating with a person with hearing loss.
Why doesn't my loved one understand better when I speak louder?
With age, hearing loss (presbycusis) mainly affects high-pitched sounds: it is the consonants that get lost, even though they carry most of the meaning. Background noise also drowns out speech. A louder voice therefore remains blurred, just noisier, and turning up the TV doesn't make it any clearer. That is why Spokeo picks up your voice as close as possible to your mouth, rather than the noise in the room.
Why do people with hearing loss end up isolating themselves?
Because every conversation takes effort. They ask you to repeat, then nod without understanding, follow conversations less and less and end up withdrawing, as if in a bubble. On your side, after repeating so often, you lose patience and sometimes stop trying. You are not alone: in France alone, 8 to 11 million family caregivers look after a loved one losing their independence, according to the French Ministry of Solidarity. To break this cycle, talking has to become easy again: that is what an assistive listening device like Spokeo does, with you wearing the microphone.
What exactly is Spokeo?
Spokeo is a wireless, prescription-free listening assistant designed in France, awarded 1st prize at the 2025 Lépine International Competition. The microphone is worn by the person speaking, the headset by the person with hearing loss. It can be used at home, in a care home or at the doctor's, with no settings.
Will my loved one agree to wear the headset?
Most of the time, yes: there is nothing to insert in the ear, it is a familiar object, and it is only worn for the length of a conversation, like headphones for watching TV. Suggest a short, pleasant first try, at a moment when you are struggling to understand each other, rather than during a discussion about their hearing.
Do you need to be comfortable with technology?
No. No screen, no app, no settings: two preset volume levels, an automatic connection between the headset and the microphone, and a microphone that recharges simply by snapping magnetically onto the headset.
Is it suitable for someone with cognitive impairment?
Yes, if you are there to use it with them: you switch on the headset, put it on them and wear the microphone. Spokeo is used in the Emera group's 45 French-speaking care homes, including with disoriented residents. The simplest thing is to try it: you have 30 days to see if they take to it, and get a refund if not.
Can Spokeo be used to watch TV?
Yes. The headset connects via Bluetooth to a TV, radio, tablet or smartphone, at the volume that suits your loved one, without imposing it on the rest of the household. Remember to switch back to conversation mode to talk to each other.
Do you need a prescription? Is it covered by health insurance?
No prescription is needed: Spokeo is a listening assistant, not a hearing aid, and it is not covered by health insurance. And when a hearing aid is not covered (lost, broken or replaced before the end of the reimbursement period), Spokeo costs 3 to 5 times less.
How long does the battery last?
About 5 hours of continuous use. After each conversation, snap the microphone onto the headset: it is stored and recharged. The headset recharges via USB-C, in about 2 hours for a full charge.
What if the set doesn't suit my loved one?
You have 30 days from delivery to send it back, with no justification, using a prepaid return label. You are refunded in full within 14 days of receipt of a complete set in good condition.
Do you offer special pricing for care facilities?
Yes: 20% off from 5 sets, with a quote on request for institutional purchases. Contact the Spokeo team.
