Lexie Hearing, a leading US hearing healthcare company and creator of the award-winning Lexie B2 Hearing Aids Powered by Bose, has been included in TIME’s third annual TIME100 Most Influential Companies list. This prestigious list showcases companies making significant global impacts.
The selection process involved nominations from TIME’s worldwide network of contributors, correspondents, and external experts. All nominees were evaluated by TIME editors based on impact, innovation, ambition, and success to compile a diverse group of 100 businesses shaping our future.
Lexie Hearing Founder and CEO Nic Klopper expressed gratitude for this recognition alongside globally iconic brands. He emphasized Lexie’s commitment to making hearing care accessible everywhere.
In late 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration permitted nonprescription sales of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids at retail stores. Today, Lexie’s OTC hearing aids are available in over 12,000 stores nationwide at significantly lower costs than prescription alternatives. They offer an affordable solution for the estimated 37.5 million Americans requiring such devices.
Klopper noted that proper hearing care had previously been neglected due to costliness and accessibility issues with traditional services. However, Lexie is transforming this scenario by providing more affordable solutions powered by advanced technology for a clinically-proven experience at lower costs than prescription models.
Their life-changing OTC aids coupled with outstanding customer support enable individuals suffering from mild to moderate loss to regain their ability to hear effortlessly.
Nominations came from companies across various sectors including healthcare, and entertainment technology among others.
