It all started in Switzerland shortly before 1946 when young Hans Gfeller Jr., a student in engineering, got a hold of his father's new hearing instrument. Instead of admiring what was then the best in audiology technology, he took it up to his room, grabbed a screwdriver and proceeded to take it apart, piece by piece.While history doesn't tell what Mr. Gfeller Sr.'s reaction was when he found out what happened, we know it didn't take long for Hans to start developing and selling his own sound amplification devices through the family business.Today, Bernafon is a key global player in hearing care with a presence in more than 70 countries. Committed to the difference we aspire to make in the world, we are proud of the long list of successes we achieved along the way – from the first digitally programmable hearing instrument to ChannelFree™, an industry reference in signal processing. As an independent business unit of William Demant Holding, we have access to the largest R&D cluster in audiology, offering people with hearing loss a complete portfolio of hearing solutions to choose from.With different backgrounds, experiences, and talents, each of our 500 employees come behind the set of values we believe in and stand for – technological competence, a collaborative approach to partnerships, and a genuine passion for what we do. Together with thousands of hearing care professionals, we empower millions of people to hear and communicate better.
