Background and Motivation Behind EarGym
EarGym was developed by Amanda Philpott and her co-founder Andy Shanks, stemming from their desire to address the increasing prevalence of hearing loss, particularly its correlation with cognitive decline. With a rich background in the NHS, Amanda aimed to improve population health and found the Zinc Incubator program as a platform to launch innovative solutions. Both founders, having moderate hearing loss themselves, bring personal motivation to tackle the issue, fueled by their experiences with family health challenges like dementia. This personal connection enhances their commitment to promoting awareness and providing solutions in hearing healthcare.
