With a strong passion for helping independent practices, AUDNET Hearing Group puts their energy into securing great prices, thus helping member practices succeed.
AUDNET Hearing group is a uniqe concept in group purchasing strategy. Established by the merger of two storied national group purchasing entities (AuDNet, Inc., and Marcon Hearing Group), our mission is to a) represent as many independent hearing care practices as possible to secure the best possible product costs so that those practices can effectively compete in a market where unequal cost-of-goods is uniquely burdening those practices, and b) to speak nationally to those with hearing concerns about the value and imporance of professional care.

This knowledge goes a long way in helping members and partners make the right decisions when it comes to sustaining independent, autonomous practice in the United States. Lower operating costs increases value. Couple that with nationally recognized professional care excellence, and our members have a valuable path to success.

The need for lowering costs and building a strong consumer-pointed identity has never been greater. Merging buying power is the key to lowering costs. And, building a strong consumer identity can only be accomplished through a coordinated effort nationwide.
Dale Thorstad

All independent practices must recognize that it is essential to leverage their buying power as productively as possible. Merging groups maximizes that productivity. And, having a meaningful stake in the success of the group builds the long-term commitment needed to sustain that success.
