About Hearing Industries Association

The Hearing Industries Association (HIA) was formed in 1955 and serves as a forum for hearing aid manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and hearing health professionals. Our members are responsible for the majority of the over 4 million hearing aids that are purchased in the United States on an annual basis.
