Prohearing GmbH is a German audiology company aiming to redefine the hearing care industry through a patient-centric and digitally integrated approach. The company was founded in January 2024 by Christian Dielforter and Sebastian Lanzer. Their stated mission is to address common patient anxieties associated with hearing aids by creating a modern and supportive hearing health concept.
The firm operates on a direct-to-consumer, omnichannel business model that combines digital platforms with physical locations. Clients can initiate contact and receive initial advice via phone or online, which combines a convenient, low-risk introduction to hearing care with professional service. The company has established physical "Hörzentren" (hearing centers) in modern medical facilities in cities like Frankfurt, Kaiserslautern, and Hamburg, with plans for further expansion. This model is designed to make high-quality hearing care more accessible and affordable.
Prohearing's service process begins with a free, premium hearing test and initial consultation at one of their locations. Following the assessment, clients are offered a 30-day trial of the latest hearing aids at no cost, allowing them to test the devices in their everyday environments. The company partners with leading manufacturers like Phonak, Audio Service, and ReSound to offer a range of devices, including some models available at no cost after health insurance contributions. Revenue is generated from the sale of these hearing aids and through a subscription-based "HörAbo" model, which provides customers with new devices every three years. The company's growth is supported by venture capital from the Investment and Structural Bank of Rheinland-Pfalz (ISB).
