We are incredibly proud to announce that eargym has officially been accepted into the Mayo Clinic Berg Innovation Exchange (MCBIE) Waypoints Program.

This 12-week program represents a vital step forward in our mission to build the global platform for preventative hearing health intelligence. Over the coming months, we will collaborate with multidisciplinary clinical experts to design the rigorous frameworks needed to advance digital hearing therapeutics.



Setting the Standard for Digital Therapeutics

Participation in the Waypoints Program will directly support our primary near-term milestone: designing a robust clinical evidence framework and our first pivotal Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT).

While eargym is already registered as a UK Class I and FDA Class II (510(k) exempt) medical device, we are also seeking to demonstrate the therapeutic benefits of our digital auditory training.

Through the Waypoints Program, we will be seeking guidance from Mayo Clinic’s world-class specialists in:

  • Audiology & Otolaryngology (ENT): To optimise digital trial designs and assessment parameters.

  • Cognitive Neurology & Neuropsychology: To better understand and measure the complex link between auditory training, cognitive performance, and healthy ageing.

  • Behavioural Science: To evaluate digital delivery methods and track outcomes related to mood, motivation, and social engagement.


Building on a Global Innovation Ecosystem

Our acceptance into the MCBIE Waypoints Program builds upon eargym's rapidly growing footprint of collaborations with world-leading institutions in the United States and the UK. This includes our ongoing work with:


By aligning with global leaders in healthcare, we aim to establish a shared scientific foundation for preventive hearing health. We are thrilled to begin this collaborative journey with the Berg Innovation Exchange team.

The announcement highlights an encouraging step for preventive hearing care. Bringing clinical experts, audiology, and behavioural science together can help build stronger evidence for digital hearing support. The discussion also reminded me of related health innovation coverage on Biohazard Cleanup in Indianapolis, where accessible explanations make complex topics easier to follow. Wishing the eargym team continued success with the program.

I believe the quality of the graphics in these Car games 3d is truly impressive for browser-based titles. I enjoy how the site keeps everything organized so I can jump into my favorite Car games without any delay or frustration.

A practical tip for wiki-style documentation: write pages so they can be understood without reading the whole site. Start with a one-sentence purpose, then add details and links to related pages. You can review the basics at letwiki.com and decide whether the structure fits your workflow.

This is a fantastic step for EarGym! Collaborating with Mayo Clinic opens up exciting avenues for innovation in ear health. It's similar to the thrill of mastering a challenging level in Platformer games—both require perseverance and cutting-edge strategies. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves!
