Heritage
GN was founded on a truly innovative and global mindset. Today, we honor that legacy with our world-leading expertise within intelligent audio, video, and gaming technology – all with the purpose of bringing people closer.
In 1869, our founder C.F. Tietgen envisioned a more connected world. Since then, our ambitious 150-year journey has taken us from telegraph cables and radio waves to intelligent audio and video engineering.
We have consistently developed and brought to market what the world thought wasn’t possible. Our legacy of producing world first audio solutions and pioneering advancements in technology include, but is not limited to:
- Telephone headset for call centers
- Bluetooth headset
- 2.4 GHz technology in hearing aids for direct connectivity
- Made-for-iPhone hearing aids with direct stereo sound streaming
- Cloud-based remote fine-tuning solution with live video consultation and more (ReSound Assist Live)
- Hearing aid with a microphone and receiver in the ear (ReSound ONE and M&RIE)
- New-normal-ready intelligent video bar for video conferencing (PanaCast 50)
- First all-in-one earbuds with advanced hearing technology (Jabra Enhance Plus)
As the world around us continues to change, we remain ready to adapt. Since our foundation, we have been cracking codes and reimagining possibilities. This agility still defines us today. With a long history of ‘world’s firsts’, we continue to conquer new frontiers and transform what it takes bring people closer to one another and what matters most to them.
