While the submission data was of extremely poor quality (using a pseudonym 'SilentShade' and claiming 'most people' have used it), independent verification confirms EARZZ is a legitimate, award-winning UK hardware startup. The product, an AI-powered acoustic monitor, solves genuine problems in the care sector and for the hard-of-hearing, evidenced by partnerships with the National Care Association (2025) and reviews in TechRadar (2024). The score reflects high real-world utility and technical innovation, balanced by the early-stage scale (<50k units likely) and the penalty for the low-effort submission.
