audibene

audibene sells hearing aids in Germany and arranges free trial fittings. Customers complete an online check, receive a telephone consultation from an audibene hearing expert, and then a fitting with a partner acoustician near them. The website also describes a companion app and a 28-day hearing guarantee.

The customers are adults with hearing loss in Germany. The company states that it handles the settlement with statutory health insurers and charges the device price only after the customer decides to keep the hearing aids.

The website states that audibene works with more than 1,300 partner acousticians and more than 1,000 hearing experts, and that over 650,000 customers have been served. It describes its origins as a Berlin start-up. The company's current job listings are for hearing acousticians and customer advisors at partner locations in Berlin, Munich, Göttingen, Mainz, Cologne and other German cities.
