ClearSounds Communications Products Now Available in France with AudioFils as Exclusive Distributor

ClearSounds Communications announces partnership with AudioFils for exclusive right to distribute high-quality amplified phone accessories and cutting-edge Bluetooth tech products throughout France to individuals with hearing loss or who are hard-of-hearing.

Two leaders in the telecommunications industry, ClearSounds and AudioFils, have announced an exclusive partnership to make top-of-the-line amplified Bluetooth products available throughout France.

Headquartered in America, ClearSounds Communications has been at the forefront of the consumer electronics industry for over 30 years, specializing in Assistive Listening Devices and an array of other sound-enhancement products. Their award-winning amplified telephones, workplace solutions and cutting-edge Bluetooth devices have only been available in the United States and Canada—until now.

"We are thrilled to announce the availability of ClearSounds products in France and to be working with a company like AudioFils, who is so perfectly aligned with our goal of bringing better sound to every ear. This is an incredible opportunity, and we hope that expanding to Europe will allow us to improve the daily lives of countless people by helping them move beyond any sound barriers they might currently be facing."

Michele Ahlman, President & CEO

Based in France, AudioFils sells a variety of communication and accessibility solutions for the hearing-impaired. Always seeking new products that will add convenience and improve connectedness through communication, they saw a unique opportunity to expand their offerings to include ClearSounds’ state-of-the-art Bluetooth technology.

The partnership marks a turning point for the pair, providing each audio-focused company the prospect of expanding their reach to help more individuals with hearing loss than ever before: ClearSounds has branched out from the North American market, and AudioFils has introduced Bluetooth to their product inventory. Now available across France, the ClearSounds Bluetooth Portfolio features the best-selling Quattro 4.0 Adaptive Listening System as its keystone.

Designed by the award-winning David Wiener, this amplified sound enhancement system features stereo A2DP Bluetooth technology, a remote microphone for use in meetings and social situations, call waiting/Caller ID display, touchscreen button operation, walkie-talkie function, noise cancellation and more. The Quattro 4.0 system was created to be an elegant and discreet way for users to experience crystal-clear sound in any environment and can be used with or without hearing aids.

“We are thrilled to announce the availability of ClearSounds products in France and to be working with a company like AudioFils, who is so perfectly aligned with our goal of bringing better sound to every ear,” said Michele Ahlman, President & CEO of ClearSounds. “This is an incredible opportunity, and we hope that expanding to Europe will allow us to improve the daily lives of countless people by helping them move beyond any sound barriers they might currently be facing.”

From April 10-12, AudioFils will be showcasing various ClearSounds products at the Congrès national des audioprothésistes, a national congress of audioprosthologists. Sponsored by Le Syndicat national des audioprothésistes (UNSAF), the Congrès is being held at the Center of New Industries and Technologies (CNIT) in the La Dèfense district of Paris.
