Earlens Corporation is a privately held medical technology company in Menlo Park, California that makes the Earlens Contact Hearing Solution, a non-surgical, custom-fit direct-drive hearing device. Instead of amplifying sound through a speaker, a custom lens rests on the eardrum and is driven by light from an ear-tip, vibrating the eardrum directly to reproduce a broader frequency range than conventional hearing aids. Founded by Dr. Rodney Perkins, the company holds more than 180 patents, received FDA clearance for its second-generation system in 2019, and was named to TIME's Best Inventions of 2020. Earlens is sold through audiology and ENT providers and publishes a consumer and provider marketing site, patient support documents, and a news section. As of this profiling pass it publishes no public developer portal, API documentation, SDK, or machine-readable API contract.
