We empower people to participate in life
We challenge everything we know and channel this insight into solutions that will support any lifestyle, any age. This way we empower people to play an active part in life.
Empowering people means enabling them to play an active part in social situations. It means focusing on living – not living with a hearing loss. And ultimately, it means getting to a point where wearing a hearing device is as normal as wearing spectacles to read a newspaper, or putting on a jacket when it is raining. We believe hearing loss should become a natural part of life. Something accepted. And something easily solved.
That is why we keep challenging ourselves, and the limits of what we know about the ways we hear and about the world. To design the solutions and support tools that support any lifestyle and any age, and empower people to play an active part.
“I have become a social butterfly again.”
Having been fitted with the right hearing solution, 33 year-old Connie Lynn has resumed her active social life and experiences increased peace of mind in her job as a nanny.
“My greatest challenge has been understanding of speech, which has made talking on the phone and face-to-face conversation very difficult. Because I could not hear all the words, I always missed the point of longer stories. Eventually I gave up being a social butterfly, avoiding crowds, and then even family reunions, get-togethers and going to church. Instead of the telephone I resorted to text messages and e-mails.
When I switched my old hearing device for my current one, I could suddenly hear my cat meowing, words to my music and to the TV. It has given me the ability to laugh more and enjoy life. I also enjoy my job more now than I did before. As a nanny, I would worry about missing the baby cry through the monitor. Now I can hear babble and talk from the other room.”

“Music sounds fantastic now.”
With a wide range of hobbies, from hunting and fishing, to photography and music, 70-year-old Dan Rebild is retired from work, but not from life! A hearing solution supports his active lifestyle.
“One of the greatest auditory challenges has been catching the start of sentences – particularly in groups or busy environments. With my current hearing solution, I can get on board quicker and catch much more of the conversation. This makes it a lot more fun to go hunting and fishing with friends. Being able to act naturally and understand what people are saying makes all the difference in the world.
I have also found renewed joy in music. Previously, listening to music was like being stuck on the wrong side of a door to a music room. Now I can open that door and walk all the way in. It is fantastic. I am a great fan of Yo Yo Ma, and when he is playing the cello with an entire orchestra behind him, I just float on a sea of sound. Everything sounds clearer and more vibrant.”

“Empowering people is our shared goal.”
Whatever department, whatever their role, all our dedicated employees work to empower people in need of hearing support to play an active part in life.
“For me, empowering people is developing hearing solutions that function impeccably at all times. Our users depend on hearing solutions that always work and never fail – no matter what. Exploring and reducing potential problems is therefore a key task, and my success criteria is that users never need worry about their hearing solutions’ performance.”
– Martin Vargast, Mechatronics Engineer, Reliability Specialist
“For years, I carried a Delta hearing device with me in my pocket – and I would take it out and tell people about my work. Most people do not realise, or imagine, how tiny and discreet today’s hearing solutions are. It makes me proud that we can produce hearing devices that are practically invisible and allow people to focus on hearing, not hearing loss. That is what empowering people means to me – living without limitations.”
– Jes Haslund Bisgaard, AP in Computer Science, Team Manager
“Most of us do not realise how important our hearing is until we lose it. It is hard to imagine what it is like to be unable to follow conversation, enjoy the birds singing in springtime, or just listen to the sound of the wind in the trees. My job is to develop future generations of hearing technologies that empower people to experience these things – and that makes me very happy to come to work.”
– Peter Sommer, Engineer, Product Manager
