SoundEar's History

SoundEar A/S was founded in July 1998 by Ole Juhl and Lars Boldt.

Even though the debate about noise and hearing damage at that time had already been going on for many years, the market lacked an educational and inexpensive noise meter. The foundation of SoundEar?s idea was therefore to develop and manufacture such a noise meter.

The task of designing the device was placed in the hands of the talented industrial designer Anders Heger and with help from the Danish Design Council, the first prototype of SoundEar® saw the light of day in autumn 1998.

After a trial period with selected day care centres and music academies, SoundEar® was put into production by sub-contractors during winter 1998 and the first production series, characterised by the white SoundEar® logo, was marketed for the first time in January 1999.
