Audiotech's predecessor companies were founded in the 1980's to provide hearing care and related services to individuals in several B.C. communities. In 1997, management recognized the emergence of a tremendous opportunity to become an aggressive growth corporation of the highly fragmented hearing healthcare industry in North America. A dynamic management team with more than 75 years of direct industry experience was assembled and Audiotech's predecessor companies were merged with a junior capital pool company on the Alberta Stock Exchange (now part of the TSX-V) to gain access to public funding for expansion. Audiotech has since agressively expanded its clinic network and now operates and manages one of the largest networks of hearing clinics in the Pacific Northwest (British Columbia, Alberta, and Idaho).
