Who We Are

The art and science of sound.

30 years ago, my parents began their journey to build the American Dream. HITEC Group, the country's first distributor of products for people with hearing & vision loss was launched. In 5 short years, the company experienced a 500% growth rate! I came on to run Operations that year. We remained committed to "doing well by doing good". A little over 10 years ago, my parents began experiencing hearing loss themselves. For my dad it was much more significant. He is a retired Major in the Army, Special Forces and had experienced intense noise exposure when a tank blew up underneath him.  As his hearing got progressively worse, it was an interesting journey as my parent's have served the needs of people with hearing loss for many years, yet even my dad experienced that "it's not that bad" sense of pride.  This experienced fueled our passion to finding creating solutions people are proud to use, that provide not only remakrable sound, but joy and excitement through elegant design.  Seeing how hearing loss affected my parents—their relationship with each other, and with their children and grandchildren—sent us all on an amazing journey we could never have predicted.  It led to the creation of our own signature line of products and the founding of another family business, ClearSounds, dedicated to the art and science of sound.

Today we are the leading developer of highly advanced listening devices for the home, the office, and on the road for those with hearing impairment. Our goal is to give people a great listening experience, whether they’re at a meeting or the symphony. We believe that high-quality sound is an essential part of an enjoyable life, and we’re dedicated to delivering it to our customers in the most simple and ingenious ways.

Our products are created, designed, produced and manufactured by us. We are proud of the many innovative ideas we’ve developed, and we are amazed and gratified by the positive feedback we get. It helps us build on our successes and keep striving for perfection in every new product we create.

If you have ideas, suggestions, comments, we would love to hear from you. One thing is for sure: at ClearSounds, we know how to listen.
