The funding will help expand Sharpi’s use in high-stakes environments like emergency call centers and air traffic control, where clear communication is crucial.

“None of these centers use similar speech enhancement technologies,” said Mette Carstensen, CEO and Co-founder of Augmented Hearing. “Sharpi 1.0 significantly outperforms alternative solutions. It improves operator focus, reduces cognitive stress, and ultimately helps save lives.”

The team combines skills in AI, psychoacoustics, software development, and cybersecurity to turn advanced research into practical solutions.

“Unlike traditional methods, Sharpi v.1.0 has been trained on millions of voice samples, enabling it to isolate and understand human speech in even the most chaotic acoustic environments,” said Martin Bergmann, CTO and Co-founder. “It’s not just an upgrade – it’s a revolution in voice recognition.”

Their AI-powered tools remove background noise, recognize speech, and adjust to user preferences—delivering clear audio with 100% uptime and real-time privacy.

“This funding marks an exciting next phase in our journey,” continued Carstensen. “We aim to become the global standard in critical speech understanding and eventually expand into consumer applications like earbuds and hearing aids. The market potential is enormous, and we’re ready to lead.”

Augmented Hearing is already being used in 112 centers across countries like Iceland, Denmark, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland, with plans to grow into more markets.

Sharpi v1.0 runs on a neural network designed to match—and even exceed—human hearing abilities.

“We are incredibly excited about backing Augmented Hearing,” said Hekla Arnardottir, Founding Partner at Crowberry Capital. “With a strong industrial experience from Oticon/Demant the team is able to deliver a mission-critical solution that improves safety and performance in some of the most important communication contexts in the world.”
