Neurotone AI, a provider of AI-powered aural rehabilitation solutions, has announced that it has partnered with over 1,000 clinics in the 18 months since the launch of its Lace AI Pro platform in July 2024. The rapid adoption of Lace AI Pro reflects the growing recognition among hearing care professionals that aural rehabilitation is a critical component of effective hearing care, going beyond just the use of hearing devices.

Why it matters

Aural rehabilitation has long been recognized as an important part of hearing care, but has historically been difficult to deliver consistently due to time and resource constraints in clinics. Neurotone AI's Lace AI Pro platform allows patients to conduct aural rehabilitation at home, taking the burden off of clinics and making this vital service more accessible. The rapid growth in Lace AI Pro adoption signals a shift in the hearing care industry towards a more holistic, brain-based approach to treatment.

The details

Lace AI Pro is now used by providers around the world and offers training in 10 languages. The platform includes five evidence-based training modes, adaptive difficulty, AI-guided coaching, educational content, and tools that support patient engagement and adherence. Aural rehab with Lace AI Pro is backed by 20+ years of research, 10+ clinical trials, and more than 100 research citations.

  • Lace AI Pro was launched in July 2024.
  • Neurotone AI announced the 1,000 clinic partner milestone in April 2026.

What they’re saying

“Lace has been a wonderful addition to our practice. It's been a revenue generator for us, definitely. Our audiologists have found value in Lace for our patients, with the app being a brand new way to help the patients, and then with the value of the product being a revenue builder was definitely a great thing.”

— Dr. Gary Fike, Owner, Palmetto Family Hearing Center

“Hearing care is entering a new era. Audiologists have known for years that hearing well depends on more than just access to sound. It also depends on how the brain processes that sound. But offering aural rehabilitation has been both timely and costly. Lace changes the game. Clinics finally have a powerful solution to offer patients, and one that is practical for the practice as well. Reaching 1,000 clinic partners this quickly is a clear signal that the revolution in hearing care is already underway.”

— Rick Carlson, CEO and Co-founder, Neurotone AI

What’s next

Neurotone AI plans to release new partner marketing resources, certification options for practitioners, targeted aural rehabilitation exercises, Speech Reading lessons, and a dedicated program for children's aural rehab.

The takeaway

Neurotone AI's rapid growth in clinic partnerships demonstrates the increasing recognition of aural rehabilitation as a critical component of comprehensive hearing care. By empowering patients to take an active role in their own rehabilitation through the Lace AI Pro platform, Neurotone AI is helping to transform the hearing care industry and improve outcomes for patients.
