Digital-first hearing care platform serving remote and underserved patients
audibene operates a vertically integrated hearing-care business with a distinctly digital-first distribution model. The tech stack—Kafka, Pulsar, Snowflake, dbt, BigQuery—reflects a data-driven, event-streaming architecture designed to handle real-time patient journeys and teleaudiology workflows. Hiring skews heavily sales and healthcare-role focused (93 of 122 open roles), while engineering remains minimal (5 roles), indicating a mature product-and-operations business scaling customer acquisition and clinical delivery rather than platform R&D.
audibene is a Berlin-based hearing-care company founded in 2012 that delivers hearing assessment, fitting, and ongoing care via digital-first channels—primarily online consultations, remote audiologist support, and regional store networks. The company serves patients across nine locations globally, with active expansion in Germany, Netherlands, France, and South Africa. Core products include the hör-cube (digital hearing test and patient engagement hub) and teleaudiology services paired with in-person acoustic practices and hearing aid retail. The business model replaces traditional hearing-aid-shop friction with remote testing, digital enrollment, and flexible service delivery; current hiring and project focus are on regional network expansion, customer acquisition, and bridging the gap between digital care and local fulfillment.
audibene's core stack includes Kafka, Apache Pulsar, Snowflake, dbt, BigQuery, Python, AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, and Docker. Data tools (Redshift, ClickHouse, DuckDB, Spark, Hadoop) support analytics and real-time patient workflows.
audibene is headquartered in Berlin, Germany, and employs 1,001–5,000 staff across nine global locations. Founded in 2012, the company has served over 1 million customers.
