Ampetronic | Listen Technologies Appoints SKMac as Mid-Atlantic Manufacturer’s Representative
Listen Technologies, a leading provider of advanced wireless listening solutions for 28 years, and Ampetronic, a global leader in hearing loop systems, have enlisted manufacturer’s representative firm SKMac to represent them in the Mid-Atlantic United States.
Listen Technologies and Ampetronic are growing as interest in accessible audio increases and venues look to meet assistive listening requirements and provide more inclusive experiences for their guests. SKMac will support Listen Technologies’ and Ampetronic’s growth in this region by selling their full suite of assistive listening solutions. These include hearing loop, ListenIR, ListenRF, ListenTALK, ListenWIFI, and the Auracast™ broadcast audio-based system, Auri™.

Assistive listening systems are for anyone who wants to hear clearer, intelligible audio
The World Health Organization estimates that 1.5 billion people have hearing loss today. That number is forecasted to reach 2.5 billion by 2050. Assistive listening systems can help individuals with hearing loss hear better in commercial venues and public spaces.
People without hearing loss can sometimes find it difficult to hear clearly and understand in challenging listening environments. These can include settings where there are background noises, distractions, unfamiliar languages, distance, or poor acoustics. Assistive listening systems can also help in these situations.
Technology advances and innovative solutions are making audio more accessible
As assistive listening systems become more advanced, they are transforming how people hear and engage. Venues are installing newer technologies like Auracast™ alongside other assistive listening systems to offer guests more personalized listening experiences. With Auracast™, end users can choose to receive venue audio in their Auracast™ enabled personal devices or in borrowed dedicated receivers. In both scenarios, they experience high-quality audio and the process is easy and convenient.
Jason Drayer, one of the principals of SKMac said: “We are incredibly excited to be representing Listen Technologies in the Mid-Atlantic and New York Metro markets. Their reputation as a global leader in assistive listening technology aligns perfectly with our goal of partnering with best-in-class brands in commercial AVL. We look forward to years of shared success.”
