Founder's Story
In 1998 Russ Gentner set out to build a superior product for people with hearing loss to hear clearly in challenging environments. An audio engineer with a background in broadcasting, Russ knew there was a better way.
Fast forward 23 years, and Listen is still moving Russ’ vision forward. Listen’s innovative products not only serve those with hearing loss, but also enable inclusive experiences for all guests. Listen solutions are used in a variety of venues and settings including, houses of worship, higher education facilities, performing arts centers, courtrooms, on leisure tours, and in manufacturing plants.
Listen enables venues to entertain, teach, and engage with the world and its limitless possibilities by delivering the right information at the right time and place... seamlessly.
