Beltone is an American hearing aid manufacturer founded in 1940 in Chicago, Illinois by Sam Posen to provide more personalized and miniaturized hearing solutions than were available at the time. From its first Model H hearing aid it expanded with milestones including the first behind-the-ear and in-the-ear instruments and later digital and wireless streaming devices. It grew into a major hearing care brand with a network of independent centers serving North America and beyond, and its parent company is GN Store Nord, a global audio technology group. Over its more than 85-year history the company has consistently introduced technological innovations and emphasized patient-focused care.
