Company Summary

Hz Innovations has created and is taking to market the innovative Wavio line of products. Wavio is the next big step in addressing home accessible technology (HAT) for the Deaf and Hard-of-hearing. The current generation of hearing assistive technology is inflexible, hard to use, and lacking in modern design. The aging Baby Boomer population & Millennials with hearing difficulties are ready to invest into simpler & more flexible systems. The first product in the Wavio line features our proprietary intelligent sound recognition technology in a compact and modern device that plugs in standard household outlets. Coupled with a smartphone notification system, Wavio makes hearing loss homeowners aware of critical sounds.

The company’s beginning came from an incident where a very young girl fell down the stairs and the Deaf founder couldn’t hear her crying and calling for help. As a Deaf person himself, he was overwhelmed with numerous frustrations he faced with not being able to hear significant sounds that occur in his own home. The company was founded with a passion and dedication to innovate modern products that solves recurring problems that affect the lifestyles of Deaf and Hard-of-hearing people. We make money through the sale, ongoing upgrades, and services of such products.
