Founded on care

Pierre Honoré and Michael Davis founded Interacoustics in 1967 to help hearing-impaired people, particularly children. Here, more than 50 years later, this is still at our very core when we develop new diagnostic equipment for hearing care professionals. Learn more about our history below.

Titan – built for the future

We launched the Titan in 2009, which combines OAE, automated ABR and tympanometry. Wideband tympanometry was soon to follow. To this day, Titan is one of our best-selling products.

From stand-alone hardware to software-based products

In 1999, we launched our first PC-based product – the MedPC. This ABR system was a combination of a regular PC and measurement hardware built into one wooden box. The MedPC was the forerunner of the current Eclipse as we know it today.

Expansion in distribution

The number of countries in which we sell our products rose fast during the first 20 years. When eastern Europe opened up in the 1990s, we could expand our distribution presence in the world. Today, we sell our equipment through 25 of our own sales companies and more than 100 external distributors.

First audiometer

Interacoustics first audiometer was characterized by its brown wooden case, resemblant of Bang & Olufsen at the time. It measured 11 frequencies from 125-8000 Hz and included a manual and a pulsing mode. It was a very well-equipped audiometer at the time.
