Sony CRE-C20 — Elevating The OTC Hearing Aid Market
The charging case for the CRE-C20 with the buds in place and charging Sony is one of those companies that is always looking for ways to expand its technology leadership into new areas. Recently, that has happened in the XR space with its Spatial Reality displays and XR headsets, but the company also has considerable lines of business in the wearables space, especially in audio. Sony only recently launched its latest set of world-class headphones (the terribly named WH-1000-XM6). So it's no great stretch that Sony also makes over-the-counter hearing aids. This is in distinction to hearing aids prescribed by a doctor to address a person's hearing impairment. Sony's Thoughtful Approach To OTCHAs An OTCHA allows a person to buy the device themselves and calibrate it to their hearing ability. OTCHAs are not designed for people with severe hearing loss, but rather for those with mild to medium hearing impairments. These OTCHAs are designed to be worn all day and can easily be used while wearing headphones over them, in my experience. Sony offers one-on-one consultations for customers on its website to ensure that they buy the pair of OTCHAs that is right for them. (It also offers a much shorter 30-second quiz to quickly help a user buy the right pair.) The pair of OTCHAs that Sony sent me for review is its most advanced high-end model, the CRE-C20. This is Sony's most compact design that includes the most capabilities and virtually fits right inside your ear canal. This makes it nearly invisible except for the tab that sticks out so you can remove the hearing aid to charge or clean it. The C20s are also the only in-canal earbuds that Sony makes that are wirelessly chargeable through the charging case. If you want earbud-style hearing aids, then the Sony E10 model also offers a Qi-compatible solution. The C20 is very comfortable to wear and offers additional features over the simpler C10, including IP68 water resistance and improved Sony sound capabilities like Soundscape Adaptation and Speech Contrast Enhancement. The C20 is also rechargeable using the carrying case, which itself is rechargeable either wirelessly or via USB-C. The C10 does have longer battery life but it also needs its batteries replaced from time to time, so the $200 difference in price between the two models will likely disappear after a year or two of use. That said, it is important to understand that if you are used to using replaceable batteries, this is a different experience, and you will likely want to charge the hearing aids in their case almost every night — and possibly the charging case itself once every few days. The battery in the C20's case holds enough power for three charges so that you don't always need to plug in the case to charge the hearing aids. In terms of size, the case is only slightly bigger than most of my earbud cases. That said, it would be great if Sony could continue to reduce the size of the case to the point where it is no bigger than an earbuds case. A picture of the CRE-C20 case (black) next to AirPods Pro 2 and Pixel Buds Pro 2 cases for ... More comparison Speaking of earbuds, these hearing aids do not have audio streaming, so they cannot replace earbuds, nor can you use earbuds at the same time as these. Some earbud companies like Apple are trying to offer their earbuds as an OTCHA solution, but those are more comparable with Sony's E10 hearing aids, which are also rechargeable but operate more like earbuds than an in-canal hearing aid. I also believe strongly that Apple's entry into this market will improve the overall size of the market and help some people with hearing impairments realize that they probably need a hearing aid and not just earbuds. Setting Up And Using The Sony C20 My experience with the C20s was pretty simple and straightforward. I followed the instructions on the packaging and downloaded the Sony Hearing Control app while the earbuds charged inside the case. Then I waited until the case and both earbuds were fully charged to do the setup. The first-time setup has you calibrate each earbud based on each ear's hearing ability. This was probably the most time-consuming part of the setup for the CRE-C20, but once it was done, I could port the settings to other Sony devices thanks to my Sony account and the app. If you don't use the app to set up the earbuds, you run the risk of using them wrong and just having everything amplified all the time — which defeats the purpose of having such a capable device. I have always known that I have a hearing impairment in my left ear due to losing a layer of my eardrum to ear infections as a child. While I did get ear tubes, the damage was already done. Only recently, I had a professional test done to evaluate my hearing loss, which is in the bottom 10% of the spectrum. I also gained 10% at the high end as a result of this injury, so I expected that I might get some benefits from trying these hearing aids. When I did the hearing aid setup and realized that I didn't hear a couple of tones in my left ear, I wasn't entirely surprised, but I also wasn't expecting it to happen. This is a good place to note that I believe accessible hearing aids like the C20 can help all types of users, including those who might not have very impaired hearing but could still benefit from them. One of the biggest challenges for these kinds of earbuds is keeping them clean and wax-free, which is a real challenge for someone like me who produces a lot of earwax. That said, there really isn't a great workaround for hearing aids since they all have to go into your ear canal. I did use them for a couple hours every day and found that my hearing was overall improved and that they didn't impede my ability to do anything, including gaming — when I always wear headphones. The C20s even effectively amplified voices in Discord when I was gaming with friends on my PC. I don't know how many Discord users wear hearing aids, but I have a feeling that the number is going to grow with time as gamers start to age and gaming reaches older audiences. Sony's Quest For Better Hearing Leads To The CRE-C20 The Sony CRE-C20s are a great pair of over-the-counter hearing aids that integrate really well into my daily life without too much setup. While I do think the $999 price is a bit steep for the average consumer, it is still considerably cheaper than many of the prescription hearing aids available, which usually start around $2,000 and can cost up to $8,000. There are many OTCHA products in the market today, but Sony's offer some of the highest performance. Some places like HearAdvisor have ranked Sony's CRE-E10 as the best-sounding OTC hearing aids on the market but have evaluated the CRE-C20 and C10 much lower. Realistically, most people with hearing loss can't wear earbuds all day long, and I think they are going to be best served by either an all-day solution like the C20s or something clinically prescribed by a doctor. Either way, hearing aids are becoming better and more available to consumers, and I am glad to see that people have choices. The Sony CRE-C20s definitely offer a more high-end solution for OTCHAs, but one that I believe is also pretty simple and accessible for a broader audience than previous generations of hearing aids. There's still room for improvement from Sony, based on my own experience and others' reviews. For starters, I would love to see the C20 get Bluetooth support along with a more compact case. But the overall battery life is great, and I think that having rechargeable OTCHAs is an ideal setup, as long as you understand the compromises. That said, I do worry about the longevity of such small rechargeable batteries, and whether Sony's one-year warranty is long enough to cover that. It would be great to see Sony offering longer warranties for products like these that are paid for out of the consumer's pocket but are also used every day to meet such a critical need.

Your Samsung phone will get Android 16's powerful Advanced Protection mode in One UI 8
Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung's One UI 8 update will introduce a new 'Advanced Protection' mode, a one-click toggle to easily enable multiple security features at once. This optional mode activates various safeguards, such as blocking app sideloading, preventing USB data access, and disabling 2G network connections. The feature is part of Android 16 and expands on Google's Advanced Protection Program, making high-level security accessible to all users. Samsung phones offer a robust suite of security features, from powerful, built-in protections like Samsung Knox to optional anti-theft settings you have to turn on manually. Locating and enabling all these security toggles can be a challenge, but the next big One UI update introduces a more user-friendly way to bolster your device's security. The One UI 8 update will introduce an optional Advanced Protection security mode, a one-click toggle that activates a variety of system and app-level security features. For example, it enables sideloading protection, USB data protection, and 2G network protection. While Advanced Protection is designed for high-risk users who may be targeted by sophisticated attackers, it's available to anyone who wants to better safeguard their data. To turn on Advanced Protection, follow these steps on your Samsung phone running One UI 8: Open Settings and select Google Tap the All services tab Scroll down to the Personal & device safety category and open Advanced Protection Toggle 'Device protection' Tap Turn on Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority This new mode is part of Android 16 and builds on Google's Advanced Protection Program, which provides additional safeguards against unauthorized account access for high-risk users. Currently, Advanced Protection only toggles the features listed on its page and doesn't control any of Samsung's custom security settings. However, that could change if Samsung integrates the Advanced Protection API, which allows third-party apps and services to check if the mode is active and enable their own security measures. For a more detailed breakdown of what Advanced Protection does and whether you should enable it, check out this article. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Sebastian Mejia: The Soul Of Enduring Companies
The visionary behind Rappi and now Tako, is building the operating system for the Pan American century. Sebastian Mejia Photo by Fadil Berisha, Courtesy of Sebastian Mejia What are the qualities of enduring companies, enterprises that can survive technology's creative destruction and the waves of progress that disrupt industries? Sebastian Mejia knows what it takes. Mejia is a co-founder of Rappi, an app that provides both delivery services and a local commerce ecosystem throughout Latin America. H also launched Tako in 2023 in Brazil as a workforce management AI System of Intelligence (SOI – more on that later). With Mejia's new venture, Zeal8 , he is planning to start or acquire high quality enterprises. Mejia's great strength has been in finding important market niches once resistant to digitization, such as groceries and food delivery, or payroll, that amass large amounts of user data that can be leveraged in other businesses uses, in a manner that compounds the value created. Mejia, who I interviewed recently in Santa Monica as well as over zoom, is very soulful, intense, and passionate about what it takes to launch a great business as well as his own criteria that make companies successful and enduring. In person, he looks more like a student backpacking his way around the world than the co-founder of a multi-billion dollar enterprise. As a founder, Mejia stands out as well-traveled, well-read, with a strong background in both economics and coding. He is a lifelong learner (always studying the trajectories of successful companies and business models), always reading several books (histories, fiction, business biographies), a music fan, and is a person who thinks deeply about business systems, technology, and what makes companies great. He thinks both micro, obsessing about the complexity his businesses must tackle; and macro, mapping out global futures for his companies and for Latin America itself. Mejia grew up in Cali, Colombia, a culturally rich city that is a center for salsa music and was also Colombia's sport capital. His father, who died when Mejia was in university, was 'larger than life,' a very outgoing and energetic businessman; and his mother, still living, also was an entrepreneur who started a popular magazine at the intersection of culture and business as well as launching a thriving show with salsa and circus artists. They divorced when he was a child. Mejia describes a happy childhood, always tinkering and creating. 'I l00000000000000000000000000oved physics, I loved math, I loved sports, and I loved music.' While his father was living in Spain, Mejia enrolled at Esade in Barcelona where he learned 'hardcore math, microeconomics, and coding inn Java.' As an immigrant Mejia felt like an outsider which also gave him 'the feeling of being an underdog and wanting to succeed… along with wanting to stand up for himself.' In the summer, he started a business selling iPods with custom-created playlists and also sold cold beverages on the beach which he describes as 'my first education in market dynamics.' After his father's sudden death, his mother wanted Mejia to return to Colombia. Instead, he remained in Spain to study economics at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid where he first investigated how innovation can wreak what Joseph Schumpeter called 'creative destruction' on a market, and how technology can drive 'waves of progress' disrupting industries and ways of doing things. 'That was a very, very important lesson for me,' he told me. 'I learned how entrepreneurs and innovation are the driving forces.' Mejia graduated in 2008 as the economic collapse was spreading through Spain, with youth unemployment reaching near 50%. He then spent six months working at a resort in Turkey learning about customer experience before embarking for New York, where he arrived in February 2009 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn in the middle of winter. In New York, Mejia worked at a variety of jobs including for a PR Agency, for a company that analyzed film production tax and rebate incentives, and then for a small private equity firm founded by some Guggenheim partners, through which Mejia met a German technology company hoping to make inroads in the US, B2B, He convinced them to hire him as their 'one-man Swiss Army Knife.' Following these experiences, Mejia decided to start his first software company. He realized that the largest category in retail, groceries, was 'the most underdeveloped category in e-commerce.' No one had really devised a great way for supermarkets to have their customers shop online. To develop the software, Mejia partnered with a friend in Colombia who was building a software studio company, which turned out to be a way to get closer to the engineering and coding talent in Latin America. They created an online, mobile first, shopping experience that was like going down the aisles of a supermarket and choosing products for your basket; and which they offered to white-label for companies. Among Mejia's first investors was Chris Burch (one of the founders of Guggenheim Partners who I profiled here). 'And until today, Chris is a very, very close friend of mine,' Mejia said, 'and we've done a lot of business together and investments together. He's someone that I love and respect a lot, and [that] has a very unique mind.' At one point, Mejia and his partner got an inquiry from India. Mejia assumed it was someone wanting to pirate their software. Instead, it turned out to be a legitimate approach from Reliance, which was then leading the largest investment in history to build Jio, a company to connect billions of people to the internet and to products and services. Three weeks later, Mejia and his partner were on their way to Mumbai. He was all in. 'I was blown away by that ambition,' Mejia said. 'And my immediate next question [was]: What if you apply the same idea back to Latin America?' Logo for Rappi Courtesy of Rappi and Sebastian Mejia In 2015, along with two partners, Simon Borrero and Felipe Villamarin, Mejia launched Rappi, a consumer app offering groceries, restaurants and other products. This was not a business that was top-down but rather built with passion from the ground up and that pivoted to meet its customers' needs. It caught fire and began to expand exponentially. Rappi attracted capital from SoftBank, Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, and participated in Y Combinator. Rappi became Latin America's 'everything app.' Over the last decade, Rappi has grown to be an incubator for mobile first Latin American companies, a source of income for couriers of all sorts, a financial and banking platform, as well as having a philanthropic arm. In 2021, the company had a valuation of $5.25 Billion. Recently, Mejía stepped away from Rappi. He is now focused on building enduring, high-quality companies like Tako, while continuing to invest—but in a more concentrated and operationally involved way, including buying into or backing companies he can help shape directly. 'I know how to invest and I know how to allocate resources,' Mejía said. 'But at the core, I'm a builder. I know how to build teams, build products, sell, think in systems and remove bottlenecks.' Mejia believes that one of the most important aspects of a great company is their focus on exceptional technical / engineering talent. In building companies, he feels it is critical to give employees a mission, to give them purpose, to create a great place to work, filled with peers who are outstanding, because, Mejia says 'that's what any talented individual wants: to work with someone special.' Doing so makes a company more than an algorithm-driven enterprise. It becomes a place with soul that people feel part of – employees and customers alike. In company founders, he is looking for resilience, which he believes is essential to creating truly transformative and innovative products. Doing so is hard, so Mejia believes you need motivated mission critical founders who are crazy enough to want to be part of a team that is solving a unique problem. And who are goal-oriented to the point of disagreeableness. Mejia describes AI as a new paradigm. 'Everything changed.' Mejia said. 'How companies are built, how products get built, what great talent looks like to embrace this technology. You need to be a lifelong learner, be able to reinvent yourself and look for companies that leverage this technology and also have traits of defensibility.' logo for Tako Courtesy of Tako and Sebastian Mejia Tako, Mejia's recent venture, which launched in Brazil in 2023, takes advantage of Brazil's unique digital infrastructure. There is an old saying that most companies' most valuable asset, their people, goes home every night. Employees are the largest cost of many businesses. Software companies, from Oracle to Salesforce, to Microsoft's Nimble, are all what is called 'CRM's Customer Relationship Managers. Tako's payroll-related database is a sort of 'ERM' – an employee relationship manager. The people Tako services are its greatest commodity. According to Mejia, Brazil has 'some of the best fintechs on the planet,' as well as 'the most forward thinking central bank on the planet.' Brazil's laws are dense, dynamic, and enforced— making digital mastery and deployment of all the requirements a complex dataset to process. However, Mejia told me, ' If you can build a system that works in Brazil, you can build one that works anywhere.' However, Mejia believes that 'to endure, companies must be systems—not just features. Mission is more powerful than momentum.' Mejia describes Tako as 'a system of intelligence,' which is built on three pillars: Applications, which are deterministic software (for example a program that can organize a company's payroll). The second is a database of customer (or employee) information. Added to that is other available information about the individuals (that are public or which they offer up). And the third pillar is using AI to process information and complete the mission of the software. On that foundation new services and uses are engineered, Mejia said, while 'using the AI to develop predictive information that informs the customization and offerings to the individual or corporate user.' Tako. powered by large language models that integrate legal logic, regulations, and real-time company data, allows small and midsize businesses to stay compliant without building a large back office and provides large enterprises with the ability to manage complex payroll and people operations Backed by Ribbit Capital, a16z (Andreesen Horowitz), and long-term builders, Tako has already processed hundreds of millions in payroll, saving Brazilian companies time, money, while remaining in compliance with Brazil's myriad rules and regulations. But, in the end, it is a people-driven business. Tako has its roots in Brazil, but Mejía is a global citizen who now resides in the US and his ambitions are global. Mejia envisions a Panamerican awakening—a cross-continental coalition of talent, infrastructure, and entrepreneurship that can compete with China, defend digital sovereignty, and export innovation—not just commodities. 'A hundred percent of Mexico's telecom infrastructure is Huawei,' Mejía warns. 'The Chinese aren't coming—they're already here. If we don't build enduring platforms, someone else will. It's time to build bridges among us.' And do so with high quality companies that endure. That is the soul of Mejia's vision.
