Listening is in our DNA.
Ακούω in Greek translates to Listen in English. At Akouos (ah KOO ohs), we strive to be a team that listens to one another, to healthcare providers, and to the deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) community. Our partnerships and collaborations are focused on common goals and predicated on respect, trust, and transparency.
Common Goal Partnerships
In partnering with the DHH community, we will use the principles outlined here as our guide.
"Hearing loss is one of the greatest challenges in medicine today, and with no FDA-approved pharmacologic therapies available, an area of severe unmet need."
