Ampetronic's partnership with Listen Technologies will bring "high quality hearing loop solutions and unrivalled support across the USA for the first time". The partnership will give Listen Technologies a full portfolio of assistive listening solutions, in addition to their class leading Infra-Red and FM products.
Commenting on the partnership, Julian Pieters, Ampetronic managing director said, "We are thrilled to partner with Listen Technologies, a company that shares our strong commitment to improving the lives of hard of hearing people. Listen understands the need to deliver a complete assistive listening solution in the Americas, and are excited about the unique role that loop technology plays in improving hearing access. Our partnership will make professional quality loop solutions available across the breadth of the USA for the first time."
"The data that is available on the hearing loss population is staggering," said Russell Gentner, Listen Technologies president. "One out of eight US citizens (12 years and older) have bilateral hearing loss - that is 52m Americans. This growing hearing loss community wants to engage in a full rich experience in a public setting and not be concerned with whether or not the solution they need is available. The beauty of this partnership is that Listen can be impartial when it comes to the technology for assistive listening and focus on delivering the best solution to meet the needs of our customers and of the hard of hearing people we aim to help."
