Danavox was founded in 1943 by Gerd Rosenstand.
In 1977 the company was acquired by the
Great Nordic Telegraph Company (GNTC). After GNTC had changed its name to
GN Store Nord in 1985, all of its subsidaries were renamed to include the
GN prefix. And thus Danavox became known as GN Danavox [1].
In 1999, GN Store Nord acquired the American company ReSound in California,
merged it with GN Danavox and renamed it GN ReSound. At the time it was the
4th largest manufacturer of hearing aids in the world [2]. In 2006 the
parent company – GN Store Nord – announced that it wanted to sell the
loss-making hearing aid business to the Swiss manufacturer
Sonova (formerly: Phonak),
but the deal was anulled after intervention from the German Cartel Office.
GN Hearing then restructured its business and invested heavily in the development
of new technology.
Since then, the company lauched remarkable innovations, such as
the introduction of 2.4 GHz technology (2010), water-resistant nano-scale
polymer coating (2010), direct streaming from iPhone devices (2014),
remote fine-tuning (2017) and support for Android
(2019).
Within the GN Group, the hearing aid business is known as GN Hearing A/S.
The devices are manufactured by GN Store Nord, and are marketed by
GN Hearing under the brand names GN ReSound (USA) and Danavox (Europe).
Its headquarters is located in Ballerup near Copenhagen (Denmark).
