The integrated care model
of Mr. Hear.
Mr. Hear is a licensed German hearing care provider staffed with certified master hearing aid acousticians (Hörakustikermeister) and qualified professionals. The company operates digitally and is structurally integrated into partner ENT practices in Germany.
The traditional hearing aid acoustician is not replaced. Instead, the service is embedded into a medically structured, digitally organized care system.
What does “hearing care as a system” mean?
Traditionally, hearing care in Germany is tied to a physical location: the hearing aid store. At Mr. Hear, the acoustician is not a place, but a digitally organized care system that restructures and integrates medical, professional, and administrative processes.
This means:- Professional responsibility lies with Mr. Hear’s certified master hearing aid acousticians (Hörakustikermeister)
- Medical assessment continues to be performed by ENT specialists in Germany
- Consultation, device selection, and fine-tuning are organized digitally
- The care model is integrated into ENT practices, not outsourced
The role of Mr. Hear in the care process
Mr. Hear is not a marketplace, not a brokerage platform, and not a comparison portal. Mr. Hear acts as the responsible hearing care provider.
Specifically:- Hearing aids are selected and fitted by hearing care professionals at Mr. Hear
- Fine-tuning is carried out via video appointments by qualified specialists
- The entire process is documented and medically traceable
“Digital organization does not replace professional expertise, it replaces the need for a fixed physical location.” Erik Foth | Master Hearing Aid Acoustician & Founder
Integration into ENT practices
Mr. Hear operates its own hearing care studios within partner ENT practices in Germany.
This spatial integration enables direct coordination between medical diagnostics and acoustic fitting — without media disruption or administrative detours.
Through a specialized physician portal, hearing aids can be selected together with patients and ordered directly.
Medical examination by the ENT specialist and medical prescription
Selection of suitable hearing aids together with the patient in the practice
Delivery of the jointly selected devices directly to the ENT practice
Fine-tuning via video session by a master hearing aid acoustician from Mr. Hear, directly from within the practice
Two entries. One system.
The Mr. Hear system allows different starting points without altering the medical standard of care.
Both paths lead into the same structured care process.
