Sonova, the Swiss hearing aid market leader, remains optimistic despite the €2.6 billion acquisition of Amplifon by Denmark's GN Group. The deal creates a combined business with expected revenues of €3.3 billion across over 100 countries, significantly strengthening GN's market presence through vertical integration. Despite short-term share price pressure, which pushed the stock to CHF 181.8, Sonova expects to benefit from industry consolidation and demographic trends. The company is well-positioned in the DACH region with strong brands including Phonak, Unitron and Hansaton, plus retail networks like Geers and AudioNova. Sonova continues investing in innovation, with new platforms improving speech comprehension in noisy environments by up to 20%. However, the company faces challenges from pricing pressure and growing competition from Big Tech in consumer hearing products.
Amplifon, the Italian hearing care retailer, has agreed to acquire GN Store Nord's hearing division for €2.3 billion, but investors have responded negatively, sending shares sharply lower. The deal combines Amplifon's global retail network with GN Hearing's manufacturing operations, creating a company with roughly €3.3 billion in annual revenue across 100 countries. GN will receive €1.69 billion in cash plus 56 million Amplifon shares, giving it approximately 16% of the enlarged group. Management projects €60 million to €80 million in EBITDA synergies within three years. The acquisition represents a major strategic shift for Amplifon, which previously focused on retail operations whilst sourcing devices from manufacturers. Investors are concerned about the price, financing structure—including up to €1 billion in debt and €750 million in fresh equity—and timing, particularly following weak fourth-quarter results.

GN launches new image library to counter media invisibility of Hearing Loss. New research finds hearing aids are rarely seen in mainstream media, prompting GN to expand its free library of authentic images for World Hearing Day. To mark World Hearing Day, GN has launched an expanded library of free, authentic images of people with hearing loss, directly addressing new YouGov research that reveals a significant lack of representation in mainstream media. The research found that 55% of US respondents could not recall a single instance in the past year of seeing someone with a hearing aid or cochlear implant in media content that was not specifically about hearing loss. Study highlights inaccurate portrayals and stigma. The YouGov study points to a pattern of inaccurate portrayals that may fuel stigma and delay individuals from seeking help. According to the findings, a majority (77%) of those with hearing loss in the US say the media gets key aspects of their lives wrong, often framing them as elderly, fragile, or dependent. The research also suggests this representation gap has practical consequences, with 41% of Americans believing the lack of everyday media visibility makes it harder for people to recognize hearing loss or seek treatment. Roughly a quarter of respondents with hearing loss say media depictions of people with hearing devices are rarely or not at all relatable. New Norm image library aims to shift perceptions. In response to these findings, GN has launched the New Norm vol. 2 image library. The collection features high-quality photographs of real people between the ages of 20 and 60 with hearing loss wearing their hearing aids in everyday situations. The images are available for free use by media, academia, and other organizations to help replace outdated stereotypes with more contemporary and positive representations. "This 'media invisibility' and unrealistic portrayal highlighted by our YouGov research can negatively impact the mental health of people living with hearing loss and deter others from seeking help when they notice early signs of hearing loss," says Laurel Christensen, PhD, chief audiology officer at GN, in a release. "GN wants to challenge the outdated misconceptions of hearing aids and living with hearing loss fostering an environment where wearing hearing aids is seen as a symbol of empowerment in daily life." The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) noted the importance of this type of initiative in encouraging individuals to take action on their hearing health. "Authentic, everyday representation can move people from hesitation to action when it comes to recognizing and 'owning' their hearing loss," says Barbara Kelley, executive director of the Hearing Loss Association of America, in a release. "When people see hearing aids as a helpful tool, not just as a sign of getting older, we think they are more likely to seek hearing care as an overall proactive health choice."
From stigma to visibility: GN launches New Norm vol. 2 on World Hearing Day. March 3, 2026 BALLERUP, DENMARK - To mark World Hearing Day, GN is expanding its New Norm initiative with the launch of New Norm vol. 2 - a free, global library of authentic images designed to improve everyday representation of people living with hearing loss. The new release builds on GN's original New Norm image bank launched on World Hearing Day in 2024, which aimed to combat stigma and misperceptions around hearing loss by replacing outdated stock imagery with modern, real-world visuals of hearing aid users. With vol. 2, GN is extending that effort with a broader set of high-quality photographs featuring real people aged between 20 and 60 years wearing hearing aids - created for use by newsrooms, brands, educators, non-profits, and health communicators. New global research reveals a major media blind spot: Many people are unable to recall seeing anyone wearing a hearing device or hearing aid in mainstream content not related to hearing loss. This lack of visibility fuels stigma: Portrayals are often unrealistic with the majority reporting that media gets key aspects of their lives wrong. To mark World Hearing Day, GN launches New Norm vol. 2: The free global library of authentic images showcases real people with hearing loss, designed to help newsrooms, brands and creators replace outdated stereotypes. The New Norm vol. 2 image library features a collection of free, high-quality photographs that showcase real people aged between 20 and 60 years with hearing loss, wearing their hearing aids. It aims to shift the visual focus from staged studio shots to real world moments. The images are now available for free use by the media, academia, non-profits and others reporting on hearing loss, aiming to replace outdated and stereotypical imagery with a more contemporary and positive representation of hearing aids and the lives of those who use them. "Invisible millions" missing from mainstream content. To launch the campaign, GN commissioned YouGov research across Australia, UK and US revealing that large portions of the general public, as well as those with hearing loss, simply cannot recall seeing people who wear hearing aids in mainstream content unless the story is explicitly about hearing loss. In Australia, 41% of respondents could not name a single instance from the past year where someone wearing a hearing aid or cochlear implant appeared in media, where the content wasn't related to hearing loss or hearing devices. The figure rose to 49% in the UK and 55% in the US. "This "media invisibility" and unrealistic portrayal highlighted by our YouGov research can negatively impact the mental health of people living with hearing loss and deter others from seeking help when they notice early signs of hearing loss. GN wants to challenge the outdated misconceptions of hearing aids and living with hearing loss fostering an environment where wearing hearing aids is seen as a symbol of empowerment in daily life, and our New Norm image library gives newsrooms, brands and creators practical assets to change it," said Laurel Christensen, Ph.D., Chief Audiology Officer at GN. Dated stereotypes: hearing loss in media needs to be more relatable. Roughly a quarter of respondents with hearing loss across the three countries say depictions of people with hearing devices are rarely or not at all relatable, and only around one in ten say they very often see relatable portrayals. This relatability gap matters, as many believe representation shapes behavior. 55% of Australians, 42% Britons and 41% Americans say the lack of everyday media representation makes it harder for people to recognize hearing loss or seek help. A vast majority of those with hearing loss in Australia (77%), the UK (79%) and America (77%) say media gets key aspects of their lives wrong, such as framing people with hearing loss as elderly, fragile or dependent. "Authentic, everyday representation can move people from hesitation to action when it comes to recognizing and 'owning' their hearing loss," said Barbara Kelley, Executive Director, Hearing Loss Association of America. "When people see hearing aids as a helpful tool, not just as a sign of getting older, we think they are more likely to seek hearing care as an overall proactive health choice." About NEW NORM vol. 2.

About YouGov research. GN commissioned YouGov to conduct nationally representative online surveys in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, to determine; how hearing loss is portrayed across media and the prevalence of hearing aid users in TV/film/advertising; the media's role in understanding and shaping perception of hearing loss; and consumer perceptions of people with hearing loss. This study was conducted online between January 30th - February 4th, 2026. The sample is comprised of nationally representative samples, aged 18 years and older. AU: n=1014 (including n=312 with hearing loss) UK: n=1023 (including n=324 with hearing loss) US: n=1016 (including n=319 with hearing loss).
