ARPA-H's HEARING program (ARPA-H-SOL-26-154) — Hearing Enhancement through ARtificially Intelligent NeurotechnoloGy — held its Proposers' Day on June 8, 2026 and set Solution Summary deadlines for June 29 with Full Proposals due August 14. Single prime awardee, multiple Other Transaction Agreements, three integrated technical areas spanning intracortical recording and stimulation devices, wearable dynamic sound modulators, and AI-based auditory read/write algorithms.
