European leader in online hearing care
Every sixth German suffers from hearing loss today, with the percentage expected to rise to every third in coming decades. Pioneering in a growing but still mostly offline market, audibene was founded in 2012 as online provider of expert hearing care, appealing to younger and more tech-savvy first-time users. Only three years later, the startup expanded to the US market (Hear.com) and was acquired by the Sivantos Group, a world-wide leading hearing aid manufacturer.
