Revolutionize MRI: Experience Clear, Digital Person-to-person Communication with EERS Audio Suite!
Pioneering Innovations for Clearer Communication & patient protection in MRI suites
EERS is a Center of Excellence in Hearing Sciences, with a multidisciplinary team of over 30 engineers and research scientists. We possess deep software expertise and unique technology in in-ear voice, noise control, and speech communication, spanning audio, biomechanics, and embedded systems. We developed technology in individual earpiece fit verification to ensure that the user is being provided with a level of hearing protection suitable for their noise exposure. Our innovations are marketed globally through collaborations with leading OEMs, enhancing communication and hearing health.
Revolutionary voice capture from inside the ear
Using our unique in-ear voice capture our patented audio software algorithms, combined with EERS’ eartips, transforms your voice from the faint audio in the earcanal into clear communications in the noisy MRI soundscape.
Dialog between health professionals, patients and technicians are no longer strained, stress is reduced, interactions are calmer and hearing protection is ensured.
Conversations and Protection in the MRI Suite and Beyond
Transforming medical communication, our advanced audio-conferencing software brings stress-free clarity to every word in the MRI suite & beyond. Medical teams can share a common audio group, or “step out” for private consultation.
Voice capture + Protection
Automated Fit test scoring assures noise protection
Audio streams Interface with third party system (zoom, teams, audible, spotify)
Active denoising adapts to MRI sequences
Specially Designed Eartips assure comfort and safety

Strategic Partnerships
We have formed a strategic collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, a global leader in medical care, to revolutionize the diagnostic imaging experience and safety. With over 100 million MRI scans conducted annually, our collaboration aims to enhance clarity, comfort, overall patient experience and safety. Together, we are committed to setting a new standard in MRI technology, advancing the quality of care for a healthier future.
We have partnered with Cook Medical, a leader in medical innovation, to transform the interventional MRI (iMRI) market. Cook’s commitment to shaping the future of healthcare and demanding the highest standards of quality aligns perfectly with our mission to provide enhanced in ear products that improve lives. With the EERS Audio Suite, we are making seamless communication within MRI environments a reality, driving growth and innovation in the iMRI landscape.
Early Collaborators
Chen Lin, Ph.D.
Diagnostic Imaging Physicist
Affiliations : Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville Florida PhD Biophysics, Rice University
Dr. Lin’s goal for the EERS system is to raise the standard of Care for MRI patients. it has been through his tireless thought full contribution to this project for nearly 4 years that we have achieved the progress and results we have.
Robert A. Pooley, Ph.D.
Medical Physicist
Affiliations : Department of Radiology Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville/FLA)
Our work with Dr. Pooley has proven in-ear devices allow for unprecedented communication to and from- MRI patients, with greatly improved intelligibility over the state- of-the-art.
Prasanna Vibhute, MD
Radiologist
Affiliations : Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville/FLA)
Areas of Interest : Neuroradiology MD – Krishna Institute Of Medical Sciences University
Dr. Vibhute performed a qualitative analysis of MRI images of patients wearing and not wearing the in-eardevice; he determined no substantial difference between both conditions.
Kush Desai, MD
Associate Professor Of Radiology,Surgery & Medicine
Affiliations : Surgery and Medicine Director, Deep Venous Interventions Division of Interventional Radiology North western University, Fienberg School of medicine
Using our system at the Cook research facility, he reported excellent intelligibility and noise protection. (April 20, 2023).
Prasanna Vibhute, MD
Radiologist
Affiliations : Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville/FLA)
Areas of Interest : Neuroradiology MD – Krishna Institute Of Medical Sciences University
