Company Description

Mimi is an audio-tech startup that develops and licenses sound personalization technology for both software and hardware products

The Mimi idea began with a problem: one sound does not fit all. While today's audio technology has advanced in truly amazing ways, our hearing ability has not. In 2013, we set out to change this. We wanted to make hearing ability smarter and better synced with today's technological advances. We began by releasing our now medically certified (CE) hearing test app to build awareness on hearing health. Then we released Mimi Music, our award-winning, showcase app to demonstrate what personalized sound really feels like. We are now over 1 million downloads and the feedback on our apps remains overwhelmingly positive. But it was never our goal to just build apps. Our mission is to complete the journey to perfect sound, across platforms, devices, playback systems. Today we are the global leader in personalized sound. By replicating the processes of the inner ear, Mimi adjusts to the individual experience, compensating for the imperfections in human hearing and unlocking, at last, audio's full potential. It means you, the listener, can finally hear sound, perhaps for the first time, in all it's detail, frequency, and contrast. To us, it means the future of sound is already here. Mimi was a TechCrunch Disrupt Battlefield 2014 finalist in New York City, made it 2nd at the world largest pitch competition at WebSummit 2014 in Dublin and made it 1st in the Music Discovery Category at Midem Competition in Cannes 2016. In 2017 Mimi was nominated for a CES 2018 award, recognized as the audio innovation of IFA 2017, won a StartUps & Developer #award at SF MusicTech Summit, as well as the Sonar+D award for innovation. ++++++++ If you haven’t heard Mimi with your own ears yet, here's a selection of our favorite customer reviews. Having earned thousands of reviews our five-star rating average is 4.7: My life has been transformed My life has been transformed! I can now hear music as I remember it from my youth with all the richness and nuance. I'm currently listening to Beethoven`s 9th Symphony and I can't believe my ancient ears. _by dauwk via the App Store Woah!! This is amazing. Made my music sound so clear, but also sounded so like it was on high volume when it was really 50%. Playing music in this, then going back to normal is an insane difference. _by jack v3.9 United Kingdom Great listening! This is an essential feature for most listeners over 40. Listening to music the way it sounded to young, fresh ears is a marvel. If it completely integrated with iTunes to capture play counts I would give it 5 stars (it must be tough having older, pickier users). _by wallet55 for v4.0.4_ – United States I feel 18 again! ...I was almost in tears its sounds so great its like iv got my full hearing range back its therapy helps my tinnitus as i can only guess its stimulates my hearing nerves correctly.
