The adoption of hearing aids is low among teens and young adults. Most hearing devices on the market are single-piece designs, focusing on function while overlooking their role in self-expression, presence, and social interaction. CrossTune redefines hearing wearables as adaptive devices that balance function and self-expression across social and private spaces. With modular, AI-powered generative 3D designs, CrossTune invites users—both those with hearing impairments and those seeking bold fashion—to personalize their devices. CrossTune’s mission is to give users back the choice of tuning in or out while embracing their unique style.
