Alpaca Audiology
Alpaca Audiology offers innovative hearing solutions and operates over 200 clinics across the country, providing a range of services for hearing care providers and patients.
Services
Alpaca Audiology offers a range of services designed to provide optimal hearing care solutions. A key service is their best-in-class online hearing screener, which allows users to assess their hearing from the comfort of their home. For those not ready to speak with a specialist, Alpaca Audiology has developed a proprietary self-assessment tool. Additionally, they provide a Pro-Led Assessment, a provider-directed online test ensuring personalized and accurate results.
Products
Central to Alpaca Audiology's offerings is HearScore, a unique product they developed. HearScore is a numerical representation that quantifies the energy in human speech to describe hearing loss. This innovation helps in accurately diagnosing and understanding a patient's hearing capabilities. This product is an example of Alpaca Audiology's commitment to pushing industry norms and optimizing care through innovation.
Clinic Network
Alpaca Audiology operates more than 200 best-in-class clinics across the United States. The clinics are grouped under 13 regional brands, creating a vast network dedicated to high-quality hearing care. The company is actively looking to expand this network by adding new clinic groups, regardless of their size. Through a swift and simple acquisition process, clinics can be integrated into Alpaca Audiology's family in as little as 60-90 days.
Acquisitions
Alpaca Audiology was acquired by Sonova Holding AG on January 13, 2022. Prior to this, the company has made strategic acquisitions to expand its reach and capabilities, including Abingdon Hearing Care, Hughes Family Hearing Aid Center, Lake Erie Hearing, Hear-N-Care Audiology and Hearing Aids, and Main Line Audiology Consultants. Moreover, Alpaca Audiology invested in Estes Audiology on January 18, 2019, further solidifying its presence in the hearing care industry.
Innovation and Optimization
Alpaca Audiology constantly questions and challenges the norms of the hearing care industry. They are dedicated to finding new opportunities to optimize services and innovate care solutions. Their development of HearScore and the Pro-Led Assessment are examples of this commitment to advancing the field of audiology and providing better care experiences for their clients.
