Audien

Audien Hearing is a US-based hearing-aid brand founded in Arizona in October 2019. The company says its founders—Ishan, Dylan, and Zack—were motivated by seeing their grandparents struggle with hearing loss and by their dissatisfaction with the cost and complexity of traditional hearing aids. Audien describes its mission as making hearing care simple, affordable, and accessible. The brand sells over-the-counter hearing aids, including its Atom and Ion product lines. Models featured on its website include Atom X (2nd Gen), Atom Pro 2, Atom Air, Ion Pro 2, and Ion Air. Product features vary by model and include rechargeable cases, multiple listening modes, app-based sound adjustment on some devices, noise reduction, and compact or above-the-ear designs. The company also offers online product comparisons and access to hearing-specialist appointments or sound checks. Audien sells directly through its website and has pursued retail distribution. The company reports that it launched nationwide at Walmart in October 2023. Its website promotes a 45-day risk-free trial, free US shipping, and ongoing customer support. Audien states that it is based in the United States; the supplied material does not identify its legal parent, owner, or listed status.

Audien Hearing says it was founded in Arizona in October 2019. Its founders, identified on the company’s About Us page as Ishan, Dylan, and Zack, were responding to hearing difficulties experienced by their grandparents. The founders describe traditional hearing aids as expensive and cumbersome, and say that experience led them to pursue more accessible hearing solutions. The company’s stated mission is to make hearing affordable and accessible. Audien’s product offering is centered on over-the-counter hearing aids sold under the Atom and Ion names. The brand’s online catalogue has included models such as Atom, Atom Pro, Atom Pro 2, Atom Air, Atom X (2nd Gen), Ion Pro 2, and Ion Air. Product pages describe differences in form factor, listening modes, sound-processing features, battery life, and charging. Some products are presented as app-powered, while others emphasize manual controls or use without an app. The company also describes hearing-specialist sound checks and follow-up appointments as service options. The company identifies August 2021 as the date it received a US patent for its new Atom hearing aid. In September 2022, it says OTC hearing aids were officially cleared by the FDA. Audien’s account of its own history then identifies October 2023 as the month it became the first OTC hearing aid to launch nationwide in Walmart. These statements are reported as the company presents them; the supplied material does not include independent documentation or further details about the patent or regulatory status. Audien continues to market its products through its website and retail distribution. Its current homepage features Atom X (2nd Gen), Atom Pro 2, Atom Air, Ion Pro 2, and Ion Air, alongside a 45-day trial offer and US shipping and support information. The supplied sources do not establish the company’s legal ownership, corporate structure, leadership beyond the named founders, or any subsequent change in ownership.
