Amplifon Takes Action for World Hearing Day 2026

On March 3, 2026, Amplifon, a leader in hearing care solutions and parent company of Miracle-Ear, embarks on a mission to promote hearing health awareness across the globe. This initiative coincides with World Hearing Day, providing an opportunity for education and prevention of hearing loss.

Amplifon plans to implement various activities in several countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Latin America, Italy, and France. These initiatives aim to educate the public and enhance awareness surrounding hearing health.

Expanding Accessibility and Free Services

In addition to the regular free hearing tests available at its 10,000 audiological centers globally, Amplifon aims to further broaden its outreach. Among the notable activities in the United States, Amplifon and Miracle-Ear are set to provide free hearing tests in Minneapolis and the Mall of America, one of the country’s largest shopping centers. Moreover, training sessions for employees across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America are scheduled to bolster knowledge and service quality in hearing care.

Australia will also see free hearing tests conducted in cooperation with the local pharmacy chain HealthSave, ensuring convenient access for the community.

Focus on Employee and Partner Engagement in Italy

In Italy, Amplifon will organize a special event at its headquarters in Milan, targeted at employees and partner organizations. This initiative will combine educational sessions on hearing health and OtoKiosk testing, Amplifon's innovative iPad-based audiometric testing system. Notably, collaboration with ChoraWill Media, an Italian podcast production entity, is also part of this effort.

In an indication of their commitment, Amplifon, partnering with Udito Italia Onlus and the World Health Organization (WHO), has already hosted the Hearing Marathon on February 27 in Rome as part of their awareness efforts.

Social Media Campaigns to Raise Awareness

A global social media initiative titled “Everyday Hearing Tests” will accompany these activities, highlighting the emotional significance of various sounds and encouraging regular hearing check-ups as a routine practice. This campaign, curated with Small and Accenture Song Italy, aims to resonate with people across multiple nations, emphasizing that hearing health is essential for experiencing the world fully.

The campaign will extend throughout Hearing Awareness Month, touching customers in 17 countries, including key markets like the U.S., Canada, and Germany, among others. In tandem, Amplifon plans to release a video on its social media to promote hearing care as an integral part of a healthy lifestyle.

Urgency of the Message

World Hearing Day serves a critical purpose: to address the stigma associated with hearing loss and the importance of early intervention. With the alarming statistics shared by the WHO, indicating that more than 1.5 billion individuals currently live with hearing loss, this initiative is incredibly timely. Projections suggest that the number could surge to 2.5 billion by 2050, highlighting the urgent need for awareness and preventative actions.

Established in numerous countries and backed by a global workforce of 20,000 dedicated to hearing care, Amplifon is resolute in its mission to empower individuals through enhanced understanding and services tailored to their unique hearing needs. With annual revenues reaching €2.4 billion, Amplifon stands as a pivotal player in the hearing care industry, facilitating better auditory health for a brighter future.
