WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEARING?

Did you know that unaddressed hearing loss could increase the rate of cognitive decline by up to 40%?*

Research suggests that addressing hearing loss in midlife is the biggest amenable risk factor for dementia - this means something we can change to potentially reduce our risk. With simple step-by-step hearing care, eargym makes it easy to look after your hearing health throughout life.

Designed by professionals and informed by research, eargym is an Alzheimer’s Society Innovation Award Winner and semi-finalist for the Longitude Prize on Dementia. Hearing loss is a common complaint and affects nearly 60% of people living with dementia. eargym’s training programme enables people to practise core listening and cognitive skills, including speech intelligibility, auditory processing, selective attention, and working memory.

HOW MUCH COULD YOU IMPROVE?

You could improve your hearing up to 20% in as little as 7 weeks.

Our latest research study shows that the more you train, the more you could benefit. 83% of participants agreed that eargym’s training was successful in improving their hearing skills, while 68% improved their ability to hear in noisy places.

HOW IT WORKS

Play with purpose: Entertaining and immersive games designed to improve auditory processing, reduce listening effort, and boost focus.

Discover your hearing: Access unlimited hearing tests and resources to help you reduce the impact of hearing loss.

Contribute to dementia research: Support the brilliant work of charitable and academic communities and train your brain to hear better with just a few minutes a day.

HELP US ADVANCE RESEARCH

The more we understand about the link between hearing and brain health, the bigger the impact we can have. Data is essential to research - by using eargym’s hearing tests and training regularly you can contribute anonymised data to help advance this hugely important area.

EARGYM USERS LIVING WITH DEMENTIA:

“When I heard about eargym I was intrigued because my anxiety means I struggle concentrating in rooms with lots of chatter. Honing in on a particular conversation when there is background noise is something that everyone struggles with to a degree, but it is exacerbated for those with dementia. [...] It is immensely useful for those like me, or with early onset dementia who want to keep mentally active and stimulated to maintain a better quality of life for longer.” - Peter from Sussex

“I am now in my sixties with dreadful short-term memory and often forget appointments. Keeping up with conversations when out socialising is also difficult. eargym’s benefits were instantaneous. The games really help hone your hearing which is a vital skill for those with dementia.” - Nigel from Swansea

Ratings and reviews

This is ridiculous... I saw this app in Google Play and downloaded it but there no indication of what it literally is (on Google play or in the app itself). It forces you to sign up without showing you what you'll actually be doing in the app or letting you try it first. I get that there's a 7 day trial that you can cancel but I'm not going to sign up for something when you don't even tell me what I'm signing up to do. The screenshots in Google play are barely anything.

I'd been putting off getting a hearing test and this was a quick and easy way to do it with useful advice. The games are fun and I like contributing to their research. I feel like the training is working, I'm more aware of my hearing anyway. I did had a couple of issues and the team were quick to respond, seems like there are regular updates.

A free app that is not free... subscription service needed to use app once installed. Make it known that the app is not free to use. Incredibly annoying having apps that have a subscription service after downloading, feels like a con.
