Lios is an advanced materials company – building technology to eradicate harmful noise pollution.

Co-Founders Rhona Togher & Eimear O’Carroll have worked together since 2009. Formerly Restored Hearing, Lios, was created with the aim of enabling a quieter world using advanced technologies. Trained as physicists, Togher and O’Carroll apply their knowledge and expertise to a range of modern-day challenges, creating elegant and practical solutions.

They have long been frustrated with the pace of advancements in their field, witnessing incremental developments which fell short of delivering meaningful change. Both founders suffered from tinnitus at a young age, which led them to investigate the condition and develop SoundRelief.

Striving to reduce the impact of noise pollution on people and the environment, the team sought to solve the problem at the source, leading them to create SoundBounce. This breakthrough acoustic material reduced the problem of harmful noise.

The business has grown over a decade to foster a spirit of innovation and a passion for developing real-world solutions through building a team of experts in material science, acoustics, licensing, design, marketing, predictive modelling, project management, and sales.
