Founded on an Act of Kindness
Sam Posen developed the first Beltone hearing aid to help a friend with hearing loss. Sam knew that the hearing aids of the time could not offer the individualized hearing capabilities that he had in mind.
Today, Beltone continues to help people hear better and enjoy life more. While our mission remains the same, our technology has come a long way since that first hearing aid model. Beltone is now a global leader in hearing health care and one of the largest manufacturers of hearing instruments.
Beltone Foundation
The Beltone Hearing Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, donates hearing instruments to those in need of hearing help who may otherwise be unable to access it. Both individuals and organizations are eligible to receive assistance from the foundation through direct nominations by Beltone staff or network members.
Backed by GN
Beltone’s parent company, The GN Group, is a global leader in intelligent audio solutions, backing our team with its deep research and development expertise. GN provides audio products to customers in 100 countries across the world.
