BeephoniX, a biomimetic microphone technology company, will showcase its innovations at CES 2025 that are revolutionising the way people with hearing impairments experience the world.

With the Beehive, the world’s first biomimetic microphone to be inspired by the natural sound localisation mechanisms of bees, BeephoniX promises to make a lasting improvement to the lives of millions of people.

Beehive: the solution to hearing problems

Beehive is based on a patented biomimetic microphone technology with the world’s highest directivity index. By mimicking the unique ability of bees to localise sound, Beehive offers an effective solution to the so-called ‘cocktail party problem’ – the challenge of clearly hearing speech in noisy environments with many speakers. Key features of Beehive include:

• 360° biomimetic microphone: World-leading sound localisation and noise cancellation technology.
• Integrated Bluetooth Auracast transmitter: Enables multiple listeners to access audio content simultaneously.
• PYOUR Audio 3.0 platform: CES Innovation Award winner with ultra-low latency, LE audio support and long battery life.

The compact, multifunctional design and affordable pricing make Beehive a groundbreaking alternative to expensive hearing aids and a solution for people with untreated hearing loss.

Dual use: acoustic sensor technology

In addition to providing a solution for hearing problems, BeephoniX microphone technology is also used for acoustic countermeasures, for example in drone defence. With this technology, BeephoniX develops acoustic sensors that can precisely detect unmanned aerial vehicles – an important innovation for defence and security.

Innovations for inclusivity

BeephoniX is dedicated to integrating people with hearing loss into social life. The Beehive not only helps them to overcome social isolation and emotional stress, but also enables millions of people worldwide who cannot afford expensive hearing aids to access affordable and effective solutions.

Partnerships and strategic applications

BeephoniX is actively seeking partners to further develop its technology:

• Hearing aid companies: Collaboration to integrate Beehive technology into existing products to improve hearing in complex acoustic environments.
• Defence and security industry: Partnerships with leading companies such as Thales, Rheinmetall and Boeing to develop acoustic defence systems.
• Other industries: From offshore industries to leak detection and music and gaming, Beehive has a myriad of applications.
