Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• Lexie Hearing: Lexie Hearing sells OTC and online-fit hearing aids directly to consumers with remote support. It represents the emerging DTC channel that competes with Carolina Hearing Group for patients with mild-to-moderate hearing loss.

Broad incumbents

• Amplifon: Amplifon is a global hearing care retail giant with thousands of clinics worldwide. While international in scope, its U.S. operations compete for the same audiology and hearing aid dispensing customers as Carolina Hearing Group.
• Costco Hearing Aid Centers: Costco operates in-store hearing aid centers staffed by licensed audiologists offering tests and significantly discounted hearing aids. It competes for the same patient demographic but at a lower price point and within a much broader retail footprint.

Direct peers

• Miracle-Ear: Miracle-Ear operates one of the largest U.S. retail networks of hearing care centers offering free hearing tests, hearing aid fittings, and lifetime aftercare. It is a direct competitor to Carolina Hearing Group in the clinic-based audiology and hearing aid retail model.
• Audibel: Audibel operates a network of independently owned hearing care clinics across the U.S. delivering hearing tests, hearing aid fittings, and lifetime service. It is a close comparable in clinic-based audiology retail.
• Connect Hearing: Connect Hearing is a U.S. network of audiology clinics offering hearing assessments, hearing aid dispensing, and follow-up care. It overlaps directly with Carolina Hearing Group's diagnostic-and-dispensing service model.
• HearingLife: HearingLife is the parent network that acquired Carolina Hearing Group in 2025. It operates hundreds of hearing care clinics across the U.S. offering audiometric testing, hearing aids, fittings, and follow-up care — directly overlapping with Carolina Hearing Group's core service model.
• Beltone: Beltone runs a nationwide franchise network of hearing care centers providing hearing tests, hearing aid fittings, and ongoing service. It competes head-on with Carolina Hearing Group in the patient-facing audiology clinic channel.

Others

• Sonova: Sonova (parent of Phonak) is one of the world's largest hearing aid manufacturers. While not a direct retail competitor, its products are dispensed through clinics like Carolina Hearing Group, and its DTC/OTC initiatives increasingly disrupt traditional dispensing channels.
• Demant: Demant is a global hearing healthcare group (parent of Oticon and HearingLife's corporate parent structure). It supplies hearing aids and operates retail clinics, making it both a supplier and a competitive force relative to Carolina Hearing Group.
