Relieve your child’s auditory overload.
Wondering how to help a child with Auditory Processing Disorder,
Advanced in-ear technology
Award-winning IQbuds2 MAX give your child the ability to adapt their sound environment to make their world more comfortable, enhancing their ability to concentrate in environments where they currently struggle. These noise cancelling earbuds for autism, APD, and other auditory issues offer different preset noise controls for different situations, and personalized levels of sound adjustment to enhance quality of life.
Reduce background noise
World Volume provides control over ambient noise. Without having to access the phone and open the IQbuds application, your child can toggle the noise of the outside world “on” or “off” with a simple tap of the earbud.
Elevate speech from noise
Nuheara’s proprietary Speech-In-Noise Control (SINC) technology allows your child to elevate speech from distracting background noise providing a more comfortable sound environment
Control sound’s direction
With Nuheara’s proprietary FOCUS system, your child can now choose to suppress noise from everywhere except the audio source or person in front of them. Whenever loud, nearby conversations or annoying ambient noise muddle their focus or comprehension, using FOCUS brings the sound directly in front of them into crystal clear focus. This has be known to improve their ability to concentrate more in classroom settings.
Sound Personalisation
At the core of every pair of Nuheara hearing buds is the Ear ID personalization system. It uses the NAL-NL2 self-fitting formula developed by National Acoustics Laboratories and used in audiologist clinics around the world to fit expensive hearing aids. Now you can measure your hearing thresholds in the app and use the AI-powered NAL-NL2 self-fit formula to calibrate the hearing buds whenever you want.
Tap touch controls – no
smartphone required
Both the left and right earbuds feature a sensor that allows your child to control the behavior of their earbuds without using the App on a mobile device. For younger children, you can assist them to set up the controls and they do not even need to have the phone with the buds to operate them.

Positive research results
The Centre for Auditory Neuroscience at the University of Melbourne has provided a preliminary report into its findings on children and the use of IQbuds earbuds for autism. It noted that while the subject numbers were small, there was a significant improvement in auditory attention obtained. The ability to concentrate in background noise has been identified as a key factor influencing academic progress for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (Ashburner et al. 2008), and as such, was an encouraging result.
Government funding
Governments around the world are starting to provide funding for parents to help them purchase this assistive technology. In Australia, the IQbuds can be purchased for eligible children under the Hearing Services Program and the National Disability Insurance Scheme. IQbuds BOOST has been placed on NHS Scotland (incorporating Northern Ireland region) hearing contract and is available immediately.
