Profile 

The name “Otometrics” was chosen because it says precisely what we do. “Oto” refers to the ear and “metrics” refers to measurement. But the name was just a starting point. Over the decades Otometrics has grown into the undisputed world leader in audiological measurement equipment, delivering systems that set new standards in technology and business management for today’s clinical settings.

Our growth has come from developing advanced, innovative solutions for all ear-related diagnostics. Subsequently we have become the largest supplier of computerized audiology and hearing instrument fitting equipment in the world.

Otometrics’ origins go back 50 years, when Poul Madsen, a pioneer and innovator in the field of audiological diagnosis, founded Madsen Electronics. In 1990 Madsen was acquired by hearing instrument manufacturer GN Danavox, and Madsen became the foundation of a strong audiological instrumentation business within the GN Group. This development was furthered by the acquisitions of Danplex in Denmark (1999), Hortmann in Germany (2000), ICS Medical in the USA (2000), and AuditData in Denmark (2001). As a result of both unprecedented growth and these acquisitions, GN Otometrics was established with effect from January 1, 2001. Read more about the heritage of Otometrics

Under this new corporate identity the company merged the knowledge and brand equity of the individual brands into Otometrics. MADSEN has changed the industry for audiometric diagnosis with the PC-based Conera. AURICAL provides state-of-the-art solutions for handling the entire fitting process. And both HORTMANN and ICS are leaders in the fields of PC-based otoneurologic and vestibular test systems. All of these strengths are now grounded in our company.

Otometrics now has offices in 15 countries. The company has a solid foundation for growth, and will continue to focus its mission of providing innovative, effective solutions for our customers.
