We present a new intuitive development platform that allows algorithm developers to put plugins in our ears. The growing number of advanced audio processing plugins developed for DAWs is enabling highly creative sound experiences. We explain how plugins for DAWs can be easily ported to small embedded processors used in ear worn products and other audio devices. This includes signal processing targeting low latency, low power, high compute and large memory plugins. We describe an open development platform to bring machine learning based algorithms directly to the end user. This will also give plugin developers access to data streams from additional sensors and multichannel audio data beyond stereo music streaming. The next generation of hearables for gaming, music, movies, AR/VR will require processing techniques currently only available to professionals in studios. These new development tools allow algorithms to be created such that end users can select, download and control plugins to unlock innovation that fits their individual needs and personal preferences
