Leading Technology Applied to Hearing
The GN ReSound Mission
The
GN ReSound group is the world’s largest specialised hearing healthcare producer. Our mission is to globally
develop and market products and services that enable healthcare professionals to improve the lives of
people with reduced hearing. We are deeply involved in all aspects of the field, from diagnostics equipment
through to advanced digital hearing instruments.
A unique talent for leading the industry
What
makes the GN ReSound group of companies stand out in the hearing industry, is a unique talent for leading
the industry in technology and product design. It is the deep technological and human behavioural knowledge
won through many years of experience with in-depth studies of hearing in all situations. And it’s the
depth and variety of research and the technological benefits such intensive research and development
efforts produce.
Close contact with users and hearing professionals
GN
ReSound recognizes that company size is a critical requirement for quickly bringing such advances to
market. Without the ability to invest in close contact with users and hearing professionals, and to
actively support the efforts of hearing associations and academia, valuable innovations take far longer
to reach their full potential.
Strong global position
The
acquisition of Beltone in 2000 was thus an important step in the expansion of the group’s resources
and capabilities, turning the GN ReSound group into the world’s second largest hearing healthcare company,
while the purchase of Danplex, Rastronics, Hortmann and ICS Medical together with Madsen made the group
the largest global supplier of computerized audiology and hearing instrument fitting equipment.
