Centre for Hearing®

Centre for Hearing® is a leading network of professionally-run Hearing Care Clinics in India. Over the past, hearing care has largely been a disorganized trade with opticians diversifying into the trade with the help of semi-trained technicians. Though there are an increasing number of professional audiologists opening their own clinics, there remains a significant unmet demand-supply gap. With a market penetration of ~1% viz-a-viz ~25% in the developed markets, India has a long way to go in providing optimal care to its 8-10% of total population with hearing impairments. India today has approximately 1600 dispensing centers for 1.3bn population versus 18,000 dispensers for 300 mn in the USA. To address this need for professionally trained, qualified audiologists providing world-class service on matters related to hearing, Centre for Hearing was set up in 2012 and is today one of the leading chain of professionals specialising in Digital Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants. With a presence across 14 cities with ~40 points of sale, the company is growing into one of the strongest professionally managed multi-location hearing care chains in India.
