Shokz's Open-Ear Hearing Aid Wins CES 2027 Honor
Austin, Texas – November 10, 2026 -- Shokz's OpenHear BM420, a bone conduction hearing aid that leaves the ear canal open, goes on sale in the U.S. on November 20, 2026, after being named a CES 2027 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Accessibility & Longevity category.
The BM420 is a non-surgical alternative to in-ear and implanted devices
Developed by ShokzHear, Shokz's affiliated hearing-care company, the BM420 is professionally fitted. It is designed as an alternative to traditional in-ear hearing aids and to implantable bone conduction solutions. Because the ear canal stays unobstructed, the device is meant to be comfortable during extended wear.
Hearing settings are individually adjustable. Directional microphones and background noise reduction are built in to improve speech clarity in everyday environments.
