Spokeo Set — Wireless hearing assistant for seniors

A hearing aid is a personalised medical device designed for permanent use. In many countries, hearing aids may be partially or fully covered by public health insurance. They are an effective solution, managed by qualified audiologists. Spokeo is a complementary listening assistant (PSAP) designed for occasional use: medical consultations, family meals, conversations in care homes. It requires no prescription and no fitting — simply turn on the headset and the microphone, which connect automatically. Its patented bi-conduction technology (air + bone conduction) and directional HD microphone isolate the speaker's voice for immediate understanding. Spokeo does not replace a hearing aid: it addresses situations where traditional fitting is absent, poorly tolerated, or insufficient.

Spokeo is designed for anyone experiencing hearing comprehension difficulties, particularly seniors with mild to moderate hearing loss. It is especially suited for people who do not wish to or cannot wear traditional hearing aids, including those with cognitive impairments or reduced dexterity. Spokeo is also widely used by family caregivers, care home staff and healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses) who want to improve communication with their hearing-impaired patients. The microphone is worn by the speaker, which makes Spokeo unique: it facilitates the conversation for both parties.

Yes. Spokeo's directional HD Smart Mic captures only the voice of the person wearing it, filtering out background noise. Unlike a hearing aid that amplifies all surrounding sounds, Spokeo isolates speech through the proximity and directionality of the microphone. This makes it particularly effective in noisy settings: common rooms in care homes, restaurants, family gatherings or medical offices. The sound is then transmitted via Bluetooth to the Sound Boost headset, which delivers it through dual conduction (air + bone) for optimal clarity.

Yes, Spokeo was specifically designed to meet the needs of facilities caring for elderly residents. In care homes, an estimated 65% of residents with hearing loss do not wear hearing aids, for various reasons: cognitive impairment, handling difficulties, refusal to wear devices, or repeated loss and breakage. Spokeo solves this problem with ultra-simple operation (no settings, automatic connection) and a familiar headset format. The carer or visitor wears the clip-on microphone, the resident wears the headset: the conversation becomes immediately clear. 90% of caregivers using Spokeo report time savings and fewer repetitions. Many care homes and senior residences have already adopted it for daily care, medication distribution and medical consultations.

The Spokeo kit costs €598 including VAT, with free worldwide shipping. No prescription is needed: Spokeo is a listening assistant (PSAP category — Personal Sound Amplification Product), not a medical device. It is therefore immediately accessible, without any audiologist fitting. It is not reimbursed by public health insurance, but its price is 3 to 5 times lower than a traditional hearing aid. For healthcare facilities (care homes, hospitals), funding may be available through care budgets or dedicated grants. A 30-day money-back guarantee is offered on myspokeo.com.

Spokeo uses a patented technology combining two modes of sound transmission: air conduction (sound passes through the ear canal, like a conventional headset) and bone conduction (sound vibrations are transmitted directly to the inner ear via the skull bones). This dual transmission ensures optimal sound quality even in cases of earwax build-up or partial obstruction of the ear canal, which is common among elderly people. The Sound Boost headset delivers sound through bi-conduction, while the directional HD Smart Mic captures the speaker's voice by filtering out ambient noise, with a Bluetooth range of 10 metres.

Yes, absolutely. Many users who already wear hearing aids use Spokeo as a complement in situations where their devices are not enough: noisy environments, important medical consultations, family meals, or when they want to give their ears a rest. Spokeo's bone conduction headset can be worn without interfering with traditional in-ear hearing aids. Spokeo can also connect via Bluetooth to a television, allowing comfortable listening without disturbing others — a solution particularly appreciated by couples where one partner has hearing loss.

Yes. Many doctors, geriatricians, ENT specialists and caregivers recommend Spokeo to facilitate conversations with their hearing-impaired patients. 87% of healthcare professionals who have tested Spokeo say it improves the quality of exchanges and makes it easier to obtain informed consent during consultations. Spokeo also received the First Prize at the Concours Lépine International 2025, a distinction that rewards innovation and practical utility. The product is used in medical centres, private practices and care facilities.
