MENLO PARK, Calif., March 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlens Corporation, a medical technology company that has created the world's first nonsurgical hearing solution that directly vibrates the eardrum, announced today that they have won the Gold Edison Award for innovation.

The Earlens® Contact Hearing Solution is a revolution in hearing technology and care, offering patients premium sound with a custom fit solution and expert care through a joint physician, audiology and concierge care model.
