About the Founder – Martin Sørnes
A Life Devoted to Hearing Innovation
Martin Sørnes is an audiologist, inventor, and entrepreneur driven by one mission: to reshape how the world understands hearing.
As the Founder and CEO of Hearoll Medical Inc., he leads a global effort to modernize audiology through science, design, and empathy, creating tools that reflect how people actually hear in the real world.
From the Clinic to the Cutting Edge
Martin began his career in clinical audiology, where he saw the same frustration over and over again, patients saying, “I still can’t hear well in noise.”
It wasn’t that the patients were wrong. The problem was that traditional hearing tests were.
Those tests measured tones in silence, not the chaos of everyday life. That realization became the foundation for Hearoll Medical’s breakthrough innovation, a head-mounted ring of speakers that replicates natural sound environments with precision.
By merging clinical insight with engineering vision, Martin transformed a decades-old testing method into a modern, data-driven science of hearing.
A Voice for the Future of Audiology
Crowdfunding Platform
Martin’s work now spans multiple initiatives, all united by one goal — to bring modern, accessible hearing care to every corner of the world:
- Hearoll Medical Inc. – advancing global standards in free-field audiology.
- Hearoll Inc. Home-Audiology Platform – building a network of mobile and digital audiologists for in-home care.
- Educational Platform – empowering hearing-aid users through online learning and awareness.
- Crowdfunding Platform – allowing individuals in rural areas to bring an audiologist to their local rural regions.
- Affordable hearing aids. The technology exists. Audiologist-free self-testing hearing aids could be produced at a low price-point. We need to see the T-Ford of hearing aids.
- Big-Data Audiology Project – standardizing and anonymizing global hearing data for AI-driven research.
Each project brings the field closer to what Martin envisions — a connected world where every test, every audiologist, and every patient contributes to a shared understanding of hearing.
