  1. 1992
    Audia Akustik GmbH was founded

    AUDIA was born at the site in the German town of Kölleda, in a former polyclinic. At first, just four shareholders and one employee. The product range included HdO and IO hearing aids, as well as earmoulds and hearing protection.

  2. 1993
    Relocation and partnership

    After just one year, the workforce increased to 11. This is when partnership with Hansaton Akustik began.

  3. 1997
    The first digital hearing aids

    The gradual introduction of digital hearing aids, e.g. “Trimant” – the first hearing aid with digital programming – began.

  4. 2002
    Relocation to the new company building

    The old business premises had become too small and AUDIA moved into the self-financed current company building on Franz-Mehring-Strasse in Sömmerda. The number of employees grew to 50. In addition, an investment was made in a laser stereolithography manufacturing line.

  5. 2007
    Development of AQ technology

    AQ technology was launched – a charging process that enables contactless charging of hearing aids. It received the iF product award.

  6. 2015
    Audia became part of Sonova

    Know-how was pooled, the company was re-established and from then on it put all of its passion, knowledge and skills into the fields that it does best: Earmoulds, hearing protection and in-ear-monitoring. Individuality and diversity were the key focus.

    At the end of the year, one of the founding fathers of the company, Helmut Steinbrecher, left. He was followed by Thilo Dittes, together with Lutz Kupper.

  7. 2016
    Portfolio expansion

It is particularly well-known for its unique combination of hearing aid and glasses in the field of bone and air conduction hearing aids.

    Bruckhoff creates significant value for AUDIA AKUSTIK GMBH with its know-how in the mentioned areas and its range of hearing products on offer.
