HBCU Grad, Black Engineer Turned Entrepreneur Invents an Affordable Device For the Hearing Impaired

Justin Lee, Founder of Earcoustic

Nationwide — Justin Lee, an aerospace engineer who attended Tuskegee University is also the founder and CEO of Quantum Senses. He was inspired by his friend, Kenneth Tissot, a Vietnam veteran who struggled to hear the TV in the evenings. Lee responded to his friend’s dilemma by inventing a hearing amplifier for mild to moderate hearing loss called Earcoustic headphones. The green-friendly, lightweight, and compact option does not require electronics, batteries, or wires.

Recognizing the importance of delivering a budget-friendly, non-electronic option for individuals facing hearing loss who may struggle to afford traditional devices, Lee created the Earcoustic headphones to offer superior sound amplification at a price point of just $19.99, making them accessible to those on fixed incomes. The product is designed to complement, rather than replace traditional hearing aids.

Lee comments, “My friend Kenneth’s story motivated us to develop a competitive solution that enhances everyday listening experiences, whether watching television, attending church, participating in meetings, or enjoying a movie. People like Kenneth shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality hearing due to financial limitations.”

The CDC reports that hearing loss is the third most common chronic health condition in the United States. National Audiology Awareness Month is a prime time to pay attention to signs of hearing loss, engage in preventative hearing check-ups, and prioritize auditory health. Repeated exposures to loud sounds, or participating in activities that produce harmful sound levels, can lead to noise-induced hearing loss. When individuals have trouble hearing or understanding conversations, private health insurance coverage benefits may not always cover the cost of obtaining expensive hearing aids.
