Centre Auditif

What Centre Auditif does

Centre Auditif is the commercial brand of AUDISERVICES, a French SARL incorporated in 2018 with €8,000 of share capital and headquartered in the Occitanie region. It operates three physical hearing care centers in the northern Toulouse periphery — Fronton, Grenade, and Villemur-sur-Tarn — staffed by a team of nine, including named audiologists Audrey Blancher and Jean-François Marlet. Jean-Marc Aufrère serves as director of publication.

The company's service offering covers the full retail audiology value chain: free hearing assessments, hearing aid sales, ongoing maintenance and repair, and a proprietary auditory training program branded HearFit. Underlying technology is conventional clinical audiology — diagnostic fittings, hearing aid dispensing via partnerships with major global hearing aid manufacturers, and a packaged auditory training service. There is no proprietary software platform, no AI/ML component, and no disclosed data asset. Marketing and patient engagement are conducted via a standard company website; the business explicitly publishes GDPR compliance disclosures.

The business model is sales-led and regional: revenue is generated primarily through hearing aid unit sales (typically €1,500–3,000 per device in France, partially reimbursed by the French social security system and complementary insurers), supplemented by repair services and the HearFit training add-on. Go-to-market is local and proximity-based, relying on foot traffic and referrals across the three catchment towns rather than digital channels, enterprise contracts, or insurance network positioning. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investors are disclosed, indicating the company has been self-funded to date.
